How we plan the trip to the event

The event can be the sole focus of the trip. Other experiences are optional and depend on your interests and available time.

The event is the center. Optional time beyond the event is designed around it: the region, the road, the horse, the table.

How we plan the trip

The event
We choose which days are worth it and which discipline to watch, based on what you want to experience.
The region
What lies around the event: roads, small towns, food, nature.
The horse
Whether you only want to watch or also ride at some point in the trip. We tell you the level each experience asks for.
The extension
Optional experiences in the region, if you want to extend your trip.

Questions that always come up

Do you sell tickets?

Tickets, credentials, and access depend on each event’s official channel and availability. We tell you what is possible before any proposal.

Can I go just for the event, for two or three days?

The duration is planned around your available time and what you want to experience.

Do I need to know how to ride?

Not to watch. If you want to ride at some point in the trip, we tell you the level each experience asks for.

When should I start planning?

As early as possible. Events have fixed dates, and accommodation and transport near those dates tend to sell out first.

Which event is in your plans?

Tell us which event, the edition you have in mind, whether you have been before, who is going with you, and whether you want to ride at some point.
