The dressage phenomenon of Edward Gal and Moorlands Totillas will be at Olympia in December, giving fans another chance to see the pair in action in the UK.
The European Champions and World Record holders are confirmed to compete in the FEI World Cup Dressage Qualifier Grand Prix on Tuesday 15th, and upon qualification will go through to the Grand Prix Freestyle to Music on Wednesday evening.
As well as the privilege of seeing this partnership in action, visitors will be treated to Edward’s first-ever Dressage Masterclass at Olympia, before the Freestyle to Music on Wednesday evening.
Edward will be taking time out from his final preparations to share his expertise with the audience, demonstrating how he works with his horses to perform specific test movements required for the Kür.
The Masterclass is a must for dressage fans who would like the inside track on scoring ‘the perfect ten’ – after Edward scored a previously unheard of 32 tens in his Grand Prix Special test at the Alltech FEI European Dressage Championships earlier this year.
Edward says: “I’m really looking forward to Olympia and I can’t wait to be back competing in the UK. It holds a very special place in my heart following our success at the European Championships in Windsor this August.”
The Dressage Masterclass by Edward Gal will take place during the evening performance on Wednesday 16th December. He will not be riding Totillas at this event.
