Highlights of the program
Thursday morning: the Grand Prix
Riders and horses will take to the arena for the compulsory test. Spectators were able to admire the extreme precision of dressage’s most emblematic movements: piaffe, passage, pirouettes, and one-tempi changes.
Every detail matters: the regularity of the gaits, the lightness of the aids, the precision of the transitions. It is the rigor and harmony of horse and rider working together that come to life in the arena.

Friday afternoon: the Grand Prix Freestyle
Time for the freestyle to music! Each rider presents their own choreography, set to music of their choice. This test combines technical performance with artistry: beyond precision, the riders deliver a true interpretation where the music enhances the horse’s movements. The audience experiences a suspended moment where power and emotion come together.
