Are you good at groundwork? Or do you prefer to work from the saddle? Are you sporty with your horse? Or do you practice a lesser-known movement or discipline? In our new Holland got Horsemanship Contest we look for the best from both worlds. Together with Equiday we create a beautiful online and offline stage for riders and trainers who work well together with their horses. And inspire us from the ground or from the saddle with their horsemanship. 

Registration will open on 1 October 2023. Will you join us?

Choose the category you want to participate in!

For this contest we have 2 categories with a fixed assignment. You perform this assignment from the saddle or from the ground. The assignment consists of:

  • a mandatory exercise: a set exercise that is the same for everyone.
  • A discipline-specific exercise: here you show a number of exercises that are specific to the current or discipline that you practice with your horse.
  • free interpretation: Show what else you and your horse are good at! This part is NOT mandatory.  

In this contest we have a third category especially for demo givers: 'In the Spotlight'. 

Through this category, demo givers can select themselves for 'The Spotlight' on Equiday. The content of your entry is free. You can select yourself by submitting a video of your demo of up to 5 minutes.
