As Hong Kong welcomes the Year of the Horse, one of the city’s most anticipated sporting and lifestyle events returns for its grand sophomore edition. Returning to the AsiaWorld-Expo for three exhilarating days, the Longines Hong Kong International Horse Show (LHKIHS) sets the stage for a thrilling showcase of equestrian excellence, world-class competitions, and entertainment experiences.
A joint undertaking between Clarion Events Asia and HPower Group, with The Hong Kong Jockey Club as the strategic partner, LHKIHS 2026 aims to advance the equestrian community in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, foster competition and talent in the region, and nurture interest in the sport.
From 30 January till 1 February, the 5-Star International Show Jumping marquee event in Hong Kong will present breathtaking athletic achievements from world-class steeds and their international riders across all three days. The highly popular Shetland Pony Grand National competition will be back this year—there’s nothing quite as gripping as this spectacle of speed and agility, where junior jockeys and their ponies race around the track and leap over obstacles for the honour of being crowned winner.
The show promises to be a full-scale cultural and lifestyle weekend, with its final evening featuring a live performance by Hong Kong pop icon Ian Chan of Mirror, followed by the weekend’s highest-priced show jumping class: the Longines Grand Prix.
New to the 2026 edition is the Dog Agility programme, an initiative supported by The Royal Kennel Club. Be amazed by the control, dexterity, skill, and speed of expertly trained canines and their handlers as they race against the clock to complete jumping, tunnelling, and weaving exercises. Another addition is the Hong Kong Jockey Club Asian Youth Challenge, inviting emerging showjumping talents from around Asia to compete and showcase their equestrian abilities on a world stage.
But LHKIHS 2026 is about more than competition alone. Alongside the scheduled competitions and equestrian performances, the Lifestyle Shopping Village offers a wide range of retail, entertainment, leisure, and dining experiences—making it easy to enjoy a full day out. Shop from respected equestrian suppliers, curated fashion and accessories brands, and interior and design specialists; while enjoying wine, beverages, and food stations; and pick up something to bring home from the lifestyle stalls.
In celebration of the Year of the Horse, the Show will also feature an interactive digital horse installation, where you can share your New Year wishes or aspirations and see them come to life across a large-scale arena display. The Fashion Runway will present the latest designs from labels like Beijing’s BIFU and Isabelle C, while families can enjoy the return of the Hong Kong Kids Fashion Week. At the Kids Zone, children can take part in dynamic hobby horse competitions, face-painting, and balloon art activities designed to spark early interest in equestrianism.
Visit the Live Zone to join the Meet the Shetland Pony Jockeys sessions, hear from an expert dog trainer, admire the Classic Car Club of Hong Kong showcase featuring 22 vehicles, or unwind at the Champagne Taittinger Bar presented by Cathay Cargo.
With an expanded programme of competitions, performances and lifestyle experiences, LHKIHS 2026 promises to be a standout sporting and cultural highlight of the Year of the Horse.
