London, England – December 19, 2025 – Jessica Mendoza (GBR) gave fans at the London International Horse Show CSI 5*-W what they had been cheering for: a British win on home soil. The outstanding rider rode I-Cap CL Z to victory in the €28,200 Brilliance Auction Snowball Stakes CSI 5*-W – 1.50m. Friday’s feature class was contested by 37 combinations but it was Mendoza and the 13-year-old bay Zangersheide gelding who impressed the most, slicing and dicing through the course while still leaving all the poles up, registering no penalties in 57.35 seconds.

Daniel Deusser (GER) and Bingo Ste. Hermelle were not too far behind, settling for second due to their time of 58.08 seconds while Barbara Schnieper (SUI) and Escoffier were right on their heels, only two-tenths of a second slower.
