May 2025 for the 17th edition of the Equestrian Festival Baborówko, one of the most important events in the calendar of international eventing competitions in the world. Traditionally, Baborówko will become the arena for the competition of top riders, offering a high sporting level and an exceptional atmosphere. Among others, the Olympian from Switzerland, Felix Vogg, has already confirmed his participation in the event.
The Baborówko Equestrian Festival will take place at the Baborówko Equestrian Centre near Poznań from 22 to 25 May. This year, the organisers have prepared competitions of the following ranks: CCI4*-S, CCI4*-L, CCI3*-S, CCI2*-S (with a special prize money for the best 6-year-olds), CCI1-Intro and a novelty in the programme - CNC100 of national rank. A record prize pool of more than €70,000 awaits the competitors, making this year's edition one of the 10 most financially attractive in the world.
Competitors can look forward to a high level cross-country course, which will be tailored to the rank of the individual competitions. The author of the cross-country course is the Technical Delegate of the Olympic Games in Paris, Marcin Konarski. For the first time in Baborówko, Stuart Buntine from Great Britain will attend as a Technical Delegate.
There are two modern arenas with an ebb and flow system and an extensive green area ideally suited for cross-country trials. However, it is not only the excellent infrastructure that creates the success of this event, which is attended every year by the greatest stars of eventing, such as Ingrid Klimke, Michael Jung, Lara de Liedekerke or Julia Krajewski. The Equestrian Festival Baborówko means incomparable cheering from fans from all over Poland and abroad and, above all, a unique family atmosphere. Since 2024, the evening of nations has become a new tradition of the event, which is a unique opportunity to integrate and get to know the culture of riders from all over the world.
The entry panel is open until 30 April 2025. Entries for the CNC100 national competition are accepted via the Live Jumping platform.
