Royal International Horse Show 2026

We are thrilled to announce that Smart Grooming will be exhibiting at the 2026 Royal International Horse Show for the very first time.

Held at the iconic All England Jumping Course at Hickstead, this prestigious show is one of the true highlights of the British equestrian calendar. Established in 1907 and steeped in tradition, the Royal International is renowned for showcasing the very best of national showing and top-level showjumping, attracting elite riders, producers and horses from across the UK.

This year makes the occasion even more special for us, as we have been given a prime position on the main walkway near the entrance (exact location to be confirmed), placing Smart Grooming right at the heart of the action. We cannot wait to welcome customers, supporters and new faces to our stand throughout the week.

The Royal International Horse Show is famous for its electric atmosphere and world-class competition. Spectators can look forward to thrilling international showjumping classes, prestigious showing championships, and the chance to see many of the country’s most successful horses and riders compete in the historic International Arena. From working hunters and cobs to elite show ponies and heavy horses, the breadth and quality of competition is second to none.

Set in the Sussex countryside, Hickstead offers a truly unique setting. The permanent showground, with its famous International Arena and beautifully maintained grass rings, creates an atmosphere that blends heritage, excellence and summer celebration in equal measure. For many competitors and spectators alike, the Royal International is more than just a show, it’s a tradition and one that showing competitors are always keen to qualify for.

We very much look forward to supporting our riders, meeting our customers, and sharing our full Smart Grooming range with you all. If you’re visiting Hickstead this year, do come and say hello, we can’t wait to see you there.
