A programme for riders, families and professionals
The Paris International Show Jumping Competition
This is the sporting highlight of the show. Over 260 horses and 140 riders will compete across three arenas. The stands offer 3,500 seats. Good to know: the morning CSI 1* events are included in the admission ticket. The major afternoon events require a separate ticket.
Two exceptional evenings
- La Nuit du Cheval: the only indoor six-bar competition in France. Thrills guaranteed.
- La Nuit du Complet by Forestier: an indoor derby dedicated to eventing.
An exhibition village with 200 exhibitors
The show brings together 200 exhibitors from 12 sectors: equipment, nutrition, health, equestrian tourism and innovation. Conferences, masterclasses and demonstrations punctuate the days. Younger visitors can enjoy pony taster sessions. Professionals, meanwhile, gather at the Equine Health Hub.
