Horses & Dreams, held annually at Hof Kasselmann in Hagen, is one of Germany’s premier equestrian events and officially opens the outdoor season with a prestigious CDI4*/CSI4* competition. From April 23 to 27, 2025, the event is once again drawing top international riders – including Australians.

Following the news that Galway Downs will not serve as the equestrian venue for the Los Angeles Games, Santa Anita Park has now been confirmed.

From 4-6 April, National Capital Horse Trials Association (NCHTA) held their second international horse trials in the space of seven months – and what a well-received event it was. The Asset Construction Hire Canberra International Horse Trials saw many riders on the hunt for qualification scores ahead of Adelaide Equestrian Festival (1-4 May), leading to big classes and impressive results.   

Galway Downs will not serve as the equestrian venue for the Los Angeles Games. Largely considered a near-certainly to host equestrian for LA28 in just over three years’ time, it was announced late last week that this is no longer the case – much to the surprise of the venue.

The Adelaide Equestrian Festival is set to return from Thursday 1 May 2025 – Sunday 4 May 2025 with more than 70 elite equestrian athletes and their horses taking to the Arena and Cross Country course for a truly spectacular, family-friendly event.

From 11-23 August 2026, the FEI World Championships return to Aachen.

Julien Epaillard of France and his much-admired homebred 12-year-old gelding Donatello d’Auge emerged victorious once again in Basel, Switzerland Sunday evening as they were crowned the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup 2025 Final champions.
