The ninth edition of the Karpatia Horse Show 2024: Full International Competition of 4* shows, demonstrations and live music!

The ninth edition of the Karpatia Horse Show, which will take place between September 27 and 29 on the vast Cantacuzino Domain in Florești, Prahova, has in the foreground the equestrian discipline that impressed this year at the Olympic Games in Paris - the Full Competition International 4*, with the three mandatory events: dressage, cross-country (natural show jumping) and show jumping.

During the three days of equestrian royalty, spectators will discover at the Karpatia Horse Show the attractions of a unique event in Romania. The two arenas will host three equestrian competitions, over five equestrian shows and demonstrations. Furthermore, on Friday and Saturday the program is extended until the evening with two concerts on the Stage of the Little Trianon Palace. The main artists who will take the stage of the event, with distinct marks in the Romanian musical landscape, are Leoaia and Sarmalele Reci (Friday, September 27) and Jazzy Jo and Mihail (Saturday, September 28).

On the 150 hectares of varied nature of the Cantacuzino Estate in Florești, walks and over twenty activities for adults and children will be organized. Starting this year, the children also benefit from an activity center. By purchasing a ticket dedicated to children's activities, unlimited access to an extensive number of activities is ensured, and parents will benefit from terrace and relaxation areas.

In addition, there will be three gastronomic areas, and for those willing to spend the entire period on the field, the organizers propose a camping area with modern facilities.

The Karpatia Horse Show - the only event of its kind in Romania - is an invitation to escape from everyday life, with family, friends or colleagues. The Cantacuzino estate is only an hour away from the capital and other cities in the counties of Prahova, Dâmbovița and Brașov.

"I was pleasantly impressed to discover at the International Complete Competition that took place during the Olympic Games in Paris several horse-rider couples who participated in various equestrian events that we have organized over the years. We will see some of them again this year in Florești performing at the 4* Complete Competition. We already estimate that we will have participants from Austria, Bulgaria, Finland and Great Britain.

From the point of view of sports performance, the 9th edition is the first in which we manage to organize the Full International Competition of level 4* in a year that is not pre-Olympic, and we aim to keep this level. In addition, during the Karpatia Horse Show we will organize the national final of the Full Competition for 2* and novice riders," says Mihnea Vîrgolici, Karpatia Horse Show Event Director.

"A competition of this kind is a novelty for Romania today and an open window to new experiences. The event grew in popularity from one edition to another and, lo and behold, last year we had over 15,000 visitors. It has become a <> on the agenda of many Bucharest, Brasov, Ploie residents, but also of many French, English or other foreigners from Romania and beyond." says Irina Bossy Ghica, owner of Domaine Cantacuzino in Florești, Prahova.

"I am glad to find at every edition of the Karpatia Horse Show dear friends who come especially from France, England or Germany to witness this exceptional equestrian show. We even had the visit of the ambassadors of France, on several occasions. It is a sign that this competition has reached a level of quality worthy of those that take place in countries with a much older and continuous hippy tradition", adds Bossy Ghica.

Three days of competitions, shows, demonstrations and live music

Each day's program has as its central element one of the three tests that the horse-rider couples take part in the Complete Competitions, but also demonstration competitions, shows, demonstrations, live concerts and other activities with distinct valences every day to enjoy the most different experiences if you cross the threshold of the event on all three days.

The first day of the event, Friday, September 27, will begin after lunch and brings into focus the dressage event – ​​in which the harmony of the horse-rider couple is assessed by following an elaborate course of movements.

This year's surprise is the presence of Spencer Sturmey, one of the most appreciated sports commentators in the world and the one who deciphered the secrets of this sport at the Olympic Games. A very experienced 5* rider, he will also hold a training course for riders before the start of the ninth edition of the Karpatia Horse Show, together with Cristina Călin, an athlete with extensive experience in the art of dressage, completed at the School of Elite of the French Equestrian Federation, Cadre Noir, then in Great Britain and Dubai, from where he returned to Europe, winning the Balkan Dressage Championship.

The two will give a riding lesson open to advanced horse-rider couples, as well as a classic dressage masterclass.

It is a day of relaxation, quiet discussions, walks on the field, which continues with evening concerts designed to prolong the state of relaxation after an intense week. This year the organizers are proposing a new but outstanding band, Leoaia, and the always current Sarmalele Reci.

Saturday, September 28 is adrenaline day. In the cross event, the competitors from the Full International Competition and from the National Championship final will, depending on the level they participate in, cover up to 6 kilometers on varied terrain, jumping over spectacular natural obstacles to prove their endurance and speed in any conditions .

On this day, the public will have at their disposal viewing areas from where they can watch the progress of the competitors as they pass over the most impressive obstacles. The suspense of the day is extended by the grand masters of harness through the marathon event and the speeding through of the maze of obstacles.

The program is extended in the evening with concerts also designed to surprise and incite, and this year the proposals are Jazzy Jo who brings jazz with soul influences and energetic rhythms, followed by Mihail, perhaps the only experimental artist in the Romanian artistic landscape with mainstream success and hundreds of millions of views.
The closing day of the event, Sunday, September 29, is full of pomp, which, in addition to the tests within the competitions, offers shows and parades and captures the emotion of the premiere of the best athletes.

Also on the last day of the event, there will be a show jumping over fixed obstacles. Cătălina Sfetea, multiple national champion and in the European elite of hurdle jumpers, will do a high jump demo moment. Retro-mobile or life-style parades complete the day's program, a day of elegance and memorable meetings in a unique setting.

Starting with this edition, spectators can opt for access to covered stands with secured seating, stands that surround the main arena. Also, the facilities of the VIP area will be massively expanded by doubling the terrace area and increasing the number of boxes that can accommodate groups of friends or partners.

Part of the funds raised through the sale of tickets are directed towards the restoration of the Cantacuzino Domain and the consolidation of the Little Trianon Palace, which requires urgent interventions.
