Animal crackers? Now in its 30th year, the International Show Jumping Championships features daredevil stunt-riding and dancing by Cossacks from the Ukraine, feared and admired for their bravery, the graceful Westphalian stallions from Germany, plus traditional favourite the Shetland Pony Grand National.

There's also International 'Rider Pony Club' games, pedigree dog agility stakes and pairs relay, the Accenture Christmas puissance and the prestigious World Cup Qualifier.

Definitely worth a visit to escape from the Christmas shopping crowds. Olympia, Hammersmith Road, W14 (0870 733 0733).
Until Sun 23 Dec, £11-£34.50 plus booking fee.
