After a nine-year hiatus, the highly anticipated Showcase of Showjumping is making its triumphant return to the Australian equestrian scene. From May 2 to 4, the picturesque Windsor Polo Club in Richmond, NSW, will host this premier event, drawing top showjumpers from across the nation to compete for nearly $150,000 in prize money.

Showjumping, an Olympic discipline, challenges horse and rider pairs to navigate a series of obstacles within a set time. It demands not only physical prowess but also a deep bond between the rider and their mount. The Showcase of Showjumping has historically been a platform where seasoned professionals and rising stars demonstrate their talents.

Adding to the event's prestige, renowned German course designer Frank Rothenberger will be crafting the competition courses. Known for his innovative and challenging layouts, Rothenberger's involvement promises to test the mettle of even the most experienced competitors.

“We’re thrilled to bring back an event to the Hawkesbury that attracts Australia’s top Grand Prix riders - including interstate stars Billy Raymont, Phil Lever, and Matea Davidson, as well as local Olympian Amber Fuller from Chatham Park in Glossodia. They’ll be joined by other Hawkesbury riders fresh from their overseas campaigns, including Amelia Douglas, Tom McDermott, and Josh Collins, all vying for the prize money.”

The weekend’s action kicks off with the $93,000 Teams Spectacular at 2:00 PM on Saturday, May 3, where groups of riders will go head-to-head in a test of strategy and precision. On Sunday afternoon, the stakes rise even higher with the $50,000 Grand Prix 150cm, where elite riders will tackle a formidable course in pursuit of the top prize.

Spectators can expect much more than just world-class sport. With free entry, the event is accessible to all, and the grounds will come alive with food trucks, a café, and a bar. Sunday will also feature a kids’ corner with face painting and fun activities to keep younger visitors entertained.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Windsor Polo Club, nestled at the foot of the Blue Mountains, the Showcase promises not just excitement in the ring, but a full weekend of entertainment, community, and celebration.

Whether you're a lifelong equestrian fan or simply looking for a great day out, the return of the Showcase of Showjumping is one event not to be missed.
