The aim of the Working Equitation discipline is to promote the traditional riding style used both in the army and in the field. In the competition there are many different obstacles like small bridges and gates, which can show cooperation and trust of the horse and rider. This year we expect 60+ competitors in all classes, including bridle-less. Event is an official World Association for Working Equitation competition with qualification for 2021 European Championships in France.

The climax of the horse racing season. Wroclaw Racecourse at Partynice is Poland’s only jump racecourse. The hardest fence on the Wielka Wroclawska course, the Grandstand Jump, is a 180cm high hedge with a ditch behind it – to cover it, a horse has to make a five-meter leap.

Riding a horse without a bridle is the demonstration of the highest level of trust between man and animal. There are more and more people riding this way in the world, but there is only one place where a championship competition is held annually – it is Wroclaw. There will be few different disciplines: dressage, show jumping, working equitation and liberty trail, and all these without a bridle!
