About Northern Equestrian Festival
Northern Equestrian Festival is the name of our international CSIO competition, taking place May 20 - 24, 2026 – an event where top-level sport meets atmosphere, quality and hospitality in unique surroundings at Stutteri Ask and Blue Hors.
The competition brings together some of the sport's most skilled riders, strong international teams and talented combinations for days filled with excitement, speed and great moments in the show jumping arena. Spectators can look forward to intense team competition, prestigious classes and the special energy that only an international Nations Cup event can create.
Northern Equestrian Festival is more than sport. It is also a complete experience with focus on atmosphere, quality and connection – both in and outside the arena. Whether you come as an equestrian enthusiast, VIP guest or as a family looking for a special experience, the ambition is to create an event where international equestrian sport and great experiences go hand in hand.
