Boyd Exell to Return as Four of World’s Top Five Drivers Head to Olympia

With four of the world’s top five Drivers set to take their place in the starting line-up at Olympia, the competition will be hotter than ever.

World No.1 Boyd Exell, returns to the Show seeking to continue where he left off, following his emphatic victory in the FEI Driving World CupTM Leg last year. The Australian driver, FEI World Equestrian GamesTM gold medalist at the last three consecutive Games, comes to Olympia on the back of a superb victory in the FEI Driving World CupTM of Stuttgart in November.

One of Exell’s closest rival, Dutchman Koos de Ronde, the World No.4, also returns to the Show, looking to put the pressure on the man who has dominated the sport for so long. Fellow countryman Ijsbrand Chardon, currently ranked third in the world, and runner-up to Exell at the FEI World Equestrian GamesTM in 2018, will be another to provide a significant challenge.

World No.5, Chester Weber, representing the USA, team gold medalist from the FEI World Equestrian GamesTM in 2018, will be another to look out for, as will Britain’s Daniel Naprous, famed for his work as a stunt rider in productions such as Game of Thrones and Star Wars, with his trademark tight turns and unwavering pace.
