Elite riders, powerful horses, and three days of thrilling jumps and equestrian excellence are set to take over one of Riyadh’s top equestrian arenas
There’s something uniquely thrilling about a professional horse show – the electric energy, top-tier performances, and spectacular facilities create an experience like no other.
An equestrian yourself or a spectator who’s fallen in love with the sport? Good news because the Saudi Professional Show Jumping League is heading to Riyadh, bringing with it three days of adrenaline-fuelled competition, precision riding and serious equestrian talent.
Taking place from Thursday April 9 to Saturday April 11 at Al-Gharra Equestrian Centre, the championship brings together some of the Kingdom’s top riders as they compete in a series of technical courses designed to test speed, skill, and control.

Each round highlights the partnership between rider and horse, as competitors navigate demanding obstacles in pursuit of podium positions.
It’s not just about the jumps, either; a range of accompanying activities runs alongside the competitions, adding to the overall atmosphere over the three days.
