Model, Sportswoman and TV Presenter Jodie Kidd comes to Olympia

Extreme Driving Ambassador Jodie Kidd has announced her intentions of coming to Olympia to take part in its new indoor carriage driving competition.  Jodie recently undertook a training session with World Number One Aussie Boyd Exell at his Leicester based stables.  Taking four-in-hand, Jodie expertly negotiated some tricky driving obstacles including the ‘water splash.’  Boyd was so impressed with Jodie’s capability and enthusiasm for the sport that he asked her to ‘back step’ for him at Olympia when the competition takes place on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 December.  To see a video of Jodie in training visit the Olympia website home page here.

To mark the Olympia debut of ‘Extreme Driving’, three of the world’s best will participate including Boyd Exell, Ijsbrand Chardon and Koos de RondePippa Bassett will be flying the flag for Britain.  Be sure not to miss the opportunity to see this exhilarating sport at its best under the lights of Olympia’s magnificent Grand Hall.
