The concept
The Riding Cup, made simple
The Riding Cup is an international inter-club tournament played over 4 rounds, hosted whenever you like between September and June — a 10-month window. Take part in one or more disciplines among show jumping, dressage, Equifun and hunter, and in each discipline pick the size that fits your arenas.
A size that fits you
In each discipline, select the dimension that fits your arenas: every club competes according to its own facilities.
Prizes to be won
Your riders can win their share of thousands of euros in prizes, shipped once the tournament ends.
About
The creator of Equi-rider
Riding centre manager and founder
As the manager of a riding centre, I created Equi-rider with one simple belief: every club, whatever its size, deserves to give its riders the thrill of a real international competition — without leaving its own arena. With our courses set up or our set tests ridden and a simple phone to film, your riders are measured against the world under one identical judging standard. This is the educational project I keep growing with you, round after round.
Four disciplines on the programme
Pick a discipline to see its concept and its tests.
The concept
Show jumping
A course of fences to clear without faults inside the time allowed. The club builds the official track supplied by Equi-rider, with heights matched to each rider category.
The course plan
The course plan reaches you 3 days before your show date. Depending on your arena size, you compete against clubs with comparable facilities.
Arena sizes offered
- 40 × 20 m
- 60 × 20 m
- 65 × 25 m
- 55 × 35 m
- 70 × 35 m
The tests
- Poles on the ground, then 30 to 120 cm in 10 cm steps
- Poles on the ground and 30 cm: preparatory classes with set tasks (4 penalties for a missed task or displaced equipment)
- 40 and 50 cm: grand prix table with deferred time
- 60 to 90 cm: grand prix table with deferred time, a combination possible depending on the arena chosen
- 100 to 120 cm: grand prix table with deferred time, a second combination and possibly a water tray under a fence
Scoring and rules
- Deferred-time Grand Prix scoring from 40 cm upwards
- Difficulties and combinations adapted to the selected height and arena size
How to film
Stand outside on a long side or at a clear corner. Film in landscape and follow the pair while keeping the fences, start and finish in frame.
