The Equestrian.com Liverpool International Horse Show CSI4* returns to Echo Arena in Liverpool, England from Friday December 30, 2016 through Monday, January 2, 2017. An exciting lineup of riders are set to attend: London 2012 Olympic gold medallist Scott Brash – fresh from his stunning World Cup triumph at Olympia – leads the way, when he will be joined by fellow British stars like Rio Olympians John and Michael Whitaker, plus top British lady rider Laura Renwick.
There will also be a chance to see some of the rising Whitaker stars, with in-form Joe and Michael’s son Jack, winner of the individual gold medal at this year’s European Pony Championships, confirmed starters.
Irish riders enjoyed success at the inaugural Liverpool 12 months ago, and they are again out in force, led by reigning Liverpool Grand Prix champion Billy Twomey. Joining him are Rio Olympics combination Greg Broderick and MHS Going Global, former world champion Dermott Lennon, Aachen Grand Prix winner Denis Lynch, plus the ever-popular Shane Breen and consistent Anthony Condon.
And there is certain to be plenty of Irish interest in the Equitop Myoplast puissance on New Year’s Eve, as the contenders will include defending champion Peter Smyth and Cavan puissance title holder Chris Megahey.
Leading the continental challenge will be two top Italian riders – Emanuele Gaudiano and Piergiorgio Bucci – who have already proved to be Liverpool audience favourites with their thrilling all-action styles that saw them feature on the first year roll of honour. Classes will be available to view via online livestream at this link.
