Show Information


Welcome to No Stress Equine Events at Sparsholt College!

We’re delighted to have you join us at this fantastic venue. Our events run across three rings:

  • Two Dressage arenas

  • One Showjumping arena

We provide a large flatwork warm-up arena and a designated jumping warm-up area within the showjumping arena. To ensure safety and avoid overcrowding, we allow three riders at a time into the jumping warm-up.

Please Note: Arenas can be subject to change.

Dressage Information:

  • Individual Dressage tests are held in the indoor arena.

  • Combined Training Dressage takes place in the outdoor arena located by the lorry park.

Showjumping Information:
Expect a flowing course of 10 jumps.

  • Cross poles only are used in the 30–40cm class.

  • Fillers and oxers begin from the 60–70cm classes and upwards.

Sparsholt is a lovely venue and we’re lucky to have a delicious food van on-site—perfect for a post-ride treat or to keep spectators well-fed!

 

We hope you have a fun, safe, and enjoyable day with us!
