The inaugural day at Wroclaw Racecourse features international steeplechases and hurdles as well as flat races for Thoroughbred horses. Last year, finally without Covid restrictions opening of the season set up the new record of the number of visitors – 21.000 people have visited our Racecourse that day!!! New year – new challenge.
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. Day full of emotions and entertainment for whole families.
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!
Best Polish horses and riders including national champions compete with riders from abroad on show jumping in Wroclaw Racecourse indoor arena.
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. It is quite new in Poland but still growing discipline. In Wroclaw we have Working Equitation team trained by our instructor Anna Skrzypek.
Since 2017 Wroclaw Racecourse has been the home to the Crystal Cup European Cross Country Challenge, an annual series of steeplechases horse races hosted by 10 European jump racecourses. Crystal Cup promotes steeplechasing, the thoughest equestrian sport. Second biggest day of the racing season after Wielka Wroclawska.
Dressage – the queen of equestrian sports. International show of elegance and a great result of many years of training and cooperation between horse and rider. The highest level of horse riding skills in the Wroclaw Racecourse indoor arena.
