Helsinki Horse Show offers a unique combination of top-level sport, entertainment, and experiences for visitors of all ages. At the heart of the event are two competition arenas, showcasing international-level equestrian sport alongside spectacular show performances. These arenas bring together excellence, speed, and excitement in a way that captivates both dedicated enthusiasts and first-time visitors alike.
The undisputed highlight of the event is the FEI Jumping World Cup™ leg – an international top spectacle where the brightest stars of the equestrian world compete for valuable points and victory. This competition brings the absolute elite of the sport to Helsinki and offers the audience a rare opportunity to witness world-class show jumping up close.
Alongside the sport, Helsinki Horse Show also features a diverse range of program outside the arenas. The programme stage hosts engaging interviews, performances, and expert talks that offer insights into the world of horses from different perspectives. Younger visitors will enjoy the extensive hobby horse area, where they can try their skills and experience the joy of success in a fun and safe environment.
The Horse Expo, held in conjunction with the Horse Show, continues to grow every year and has become a true shopping paradise spread across the halls of the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre. A record number of exhibitors are present, including leading industry brands, Finnish and international companies, small businesses, and exciting new products. Visitors can explore everything from equipment and apparel to horse care products, feed, and lifestyle items. There’s something for everyone to discover – not just horse enthusiasts – and the area offers endless inspiration.
The extensive expo area seamlessly connects all aspects of the event: it’s easy to move from the tribunes to shopping and from the arenas to experiences. When it’s time for a break, the venue’s diverse and high-quality restaurants and cafés offer delicious food and a relaxing pause during the day.
