AMERICAN show jumping is on a roll this year, between Beezie Madden’s World Cup final win in April, the home team clinching gold at Tryon and now, US riders won every single international class at Washington International Horse Show last week.

This unique show is one of the few urban horses shows with stables set up on the street outside the Capital One Arena, all within a stone’s throw from the city’s colourful Chinatown district.
