USA rider Lauren Hough, victor of the 2011 Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Hamburg has accepted the invitation to compete at this year's event that is set to take place on Saturday 4th June at 13h40.

Having maintained her dominance in the top 30 FEI Ranked riders for the past year Lauren is a regular on the Global Champions Tour circuit. The early part of the 2011 season saw her commited to riding in Wellington, Florida (USA) where she and Quick Study won two Grand Prix's and were second in the '500'.
