[Sussex Living] Just days before the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games, some of the best riders in the world will be at Hickstead for the Longines Royal International Horse Show – the official show of the British Horse Society.

Ten of the most fashionably dressed visitors will be chosen by Hickstead’s team of selectors, and invited into the International Arena for the final judging.
