A World Cup tournament in Equestrian Sport with a prize fund of BGN 100,000 will be held on May 23-26 at the Frigopan Equestrian Center near Plovdiv.

The two-star show jumping competition is a qualification for the Olympics in Paris. The tournament is for children, juniors, girls, men and women, and nearly 120 riders from Ukraine, Turkiye, Greece, Romania, and Bulgaria will take part. 

An official 4,350 square metre plaza, meeting the highest European standards, will await the riders throughout the competition. The last day will see the Grand Prix for men and women on a jumper course with a height of 155 cm, which will be the largest prize fund and will bring points for the ranking and the upcoming Olympics in France. The conditions for horses and riders at the Frigopan base are more than excellent and spectators will be able to watch the events live without paying an entry fee. 

The World Cup starts on May 23 at 9:00 am, and this will be the start time for the first trials on the programme each day.

Many guests from abroad are also expected to attend the event and see the masterful riding of the competitors in the various age groups and trials.
