The Washington International Horse Show (WIHS) celebrated its 57th year on October 20-25, 2015 at the Verizon Center. The show advertised itself as the country’s leading metropolitan indoor equestrian event, while attracting leading horses and riders from around the world. Friday’s main event, the $25,000 International Jumper Puissance was won by 19 year old Belgian rider Jos Verlooy who cleared a wall only an inch short of 7 feet with his top mount, Sunshine. Harrie Smolders of the Netherlands and his horse Emerald were victorious in Saturday’s $125,000 President’s Cup – World Cup feature event.
