It all started with an FEI Eventing World Cup competition in 2003; since then riders from over 40 countries have been competing at the Morawa Hippodrome, Strzegom in Poland several times a year.
The venue now hosts multiple international competitions annually and 2023 sees an action-packed calendar including a leg of the FEI Nations Cup and the Strzegom Autumn Show, returning to the calendar after a four-year absence
It starts with the Strzegom Spring Open I, from 30th March – 2nd April which will run four international short format classes from 2* to 4*, as national competitions. The Spring Open II will run from 20th – 24th April, with long format and short format from 2* to 4* and a CCI2P-S for Ponies.
For many riders, this will be the first four-star event of the year and the cross-country courses will be designed in such a way that the riders will have a chance to introduce their horses to the season says course designer Marcin Konarski
“In April in Strzegom, the parameters of cross-country obstacles always correspond to the level of the competition, while the technical combinations are definitely easier than those during the Nations Cup in June. Thanks to the favourable weather in winter, we were able to perform earthworks in several places, which will allow us to build more interesting tasks there. All the routes are already carefully designed, and we are now placing the obstacles for the first competition.”
The Strzegom Summer Tour, recommended for horse-and-rider combinations debuting at a higher level, will take place at the beginning of August providing short format national and international classes from CCI1* to CCI4*
In September, the Strzegom Autumn Show will include four short-format international competitions while the season finale will be the Strzegom October Festival alongside the European Youth Eventing Masters tournament in mid-October.
