Express Eventing International Cup, Hospitality Packages

Sunday 30th November 2008
Millennium Stadium, Cardiff

Express eventing is a radical new format for eventing designed for arenas and stadia around the world.  This dramatic new development in the sport of eventing is set to be a glamorous, high-profile competition for the world's top riders which will capture the public's imagination.

This easy-to-understand version of eventing is designed to make the sport more accessible to a wider, global audience.  Express eventing is the ultimate test of horse and rider. It has everything you could want from a sport – speed, excitement, elegance and danger and for the first time, spectators will be able to watch all of the action from one seat in one afternoon! 

The exciting new format is made up of the following elements:

  • Freestyle dressage, set to music
  • Combined show jumping and cross-country
  • "Pit-stop" tack change

The first ever Express Eventing International Cup, in which twenty of the world’s top event riders will compete for a first prize of £100,000, is to be held at Cardiff's magnificent Millennium Stadium, a state of the art facility with a sliding roof and fantastic views of all the section. 

This world-class event is the competition that top riders have been waiting for and is fully supported by the British Eventing governing body in the UK.  Don't miss your chance to be involved in a competition for the crème de la crème of event riders.
