The inaugural day at Wroclaw Racecourse features international steeplechases and hurdles as well as flat races for Thoroughbred horses. After long Winter break this first big open-air even attracts thousands of people not only from Wroclaw.
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 fast growing discipline. In Wroclaw we have Working Equitation team trained by our instructor Anna Skrzypek. We aim to be main centre of Working Equitation in Poland.
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!
