Harry Charles & Bandit Blossom in the ClipMyHorse.TV Tankard CSIO 5*

Hickstead, England – July 23, 2026 – Olympic gold medallist Harry Charles (GBR) and Bandit finished the fastest of 56 starters in today’s World Ranking class, the €28,300  Clipmyhorse.TV Tankard. The 11-year-old gelding is back to his best after a year on the sidelines, and was taking his third victory on the bounce. “He’s a bit of a Swiss Army knife because he doesn’t spook, he’s extremely brave and he’s super fast,” said Harry, who is about to celebrate his first wedding anniversary after his marriage to Eve Jobs during last year’s Agria Royal International Horse Show.

Harry is juggling competing at Hickstead this week – where he has Casquo in the King’s Cup – with preparing new ride LT Holst Freda at home for the World Championships.

“It’s good to win not only on the opening day but at a home show as well,” he added. “I grew up coming here, I did my first ever shows here on lead rein over cross poles in the back ring. I watched my dad win the King George here, which is probably the first class I was old enough to remember him winning. I won my first ever Nations Cup here — so it’s a great place of history, not just for the sport, but also for our family.”

Tickets for the Agria Royal International Horse Show (22-26 July) are available online or at the gate, and all the action from the show will be livestreamed via the host streaming partner ClipMyHorse.TV.
