Opening Show
An original production by the Jumping International de Bordeaux
A unique equestrian show: RÊVE(S)
Save the date: on Thursday, February 5, 2026, the equestrian show Rêve(s) invites audiences of all ages to dive into a suspended world born from a child’s imagination.
Conceived as a living score, this original production gracefully blends equestrian arts, contemporary acrobatics, and live music—bringing together on a single stage 15 exceptionally sensitive artists, 19 outstanding horses, and musicians from the National Orchestra of Bordeaux Aquitaine.
Synopsis: A little girl opens her toy chest and invites the audience to discover a poetic equestrian world filled with acrobats, musicians, and free-roaming horses. This enchanting journey culminates in a moving finale, as all the artists gather before the child gently closes her chest—letting the dream and its stories fade away...
Carried by a fluid and narrative staging, the Jumping International de Bordeaux equestrian show Rêve(s) is far more than a succession of acts: it is a sensory journey into the heart of life itself. From the elegance of Alizée Froment to the power of Compagnie Jehol, from the daring vaulting of Tatiana Romanoff to the aerial flights of Quentin Signori and Antoine Lafon, each artist leaves their own mark on this dreamlike tableau.
Music, ever-present, elevates every moment. With the virtuosic euphonium of Hélène Escriva, the viola of Clémence Guillot, and the vibrant sounds of the Bordeaux Brass Sextet, the show unfolds with symphonic breadth. Rêve(s) celebrates the rare union of horse, movement, and music within a scenography where reverie and artistic excellence intertwine. A unique, sensory, and immersive experience to be enjoyed with the whole family.
One performance, one venue: the Jumping International de Bordeaux
Rêve(s) is a unique and original show, not staged anywhere else.

4th Edition of the Dressage Battle
A unique show blending performance and spectacle
On the second part of the evening, Thursday, February 5
An intense discipline, driven by the energy of the audience
The Dressage Battle of the Jumping International de Bordeaux breaks away from traditional codes by combining sporting performance with artistic staging. Unique in France, this event appeals both to equestrian enthusiasts and the general public.
A concept inspired by hip-hop
Launched in 2023 at the Jumping International de Bordeaux, the Battle draws inspiration from urban dance battles. The idea: top-level riders face off in teams, in a rhythmic, festive, and resolutely modern atmosphere.
A three-round competition
A simple yet spectacular format structured in three rounds:
- At the trot: a team battle combining elegance, precision, and choreography
- At the canter: a team battle showcasing technical power, accuracy, and choreography
- The final round, “Grand Prix Figures”: duels marked by technical mastery, bold movement choices, and the harmony of horse and rider
A technical and interactive discipline with the audience
Enjoy a panel of dressage experts for a unique show hosted by artistic personalities – such as Chris Marques, Franco-Hispanic-Portuguese dancer, choreographer, and actor, along with the renowned comedian Cartman (Nicolas Ciattoni).
Beyond its artistic dimension, the Dressage Battle is a true sporting challenge. Witness the incredible performances of riders presenting their horses with finesse, precision, and suppleness in a lively, “electric” atmosphere. This experience is heightened by the active participation of the audience, whose encouragement and votes (via QR code on your phone) directly influence the final result. Spectators are no longer just observers – they become true players in the show, shaping the outcome of the competition.
Exceptional French riders
The unveiling of the emblematic figures will be announced soon.
By modernizing the image of a discipline sometimes perceived as elitist, the Dressage Battle offers you a show that combines music, choreography, and a thrilling atmosphere, all enriching the sporting experience of the Jumping International de Bordeaux!
An unmissable event!
