Motivation

For over a decade there has been no international youth jumping tournament in Switzerland during the outdoor season, although Switzerland has been one of the top nations internationally in the categories children (U14), juniors (U18) and young riders (U21). For years Olympic champion Steve Guerdat as well as European champion Martin Fuchs are representing Switzerland show jumping sport and the young Bryan Balsiger is the most successful U25 rider worldwide in 2021! Switzerland is very successful in showjumping and now we want to bring the best young riders here to compete. We aim to offer the youngsters a broad platform so they can measure themselves against international competition in front of a local audience. In addition, this gives a large group of young Swiss riders the opportunity to compete internationally or even to make their international debut.

Infrastructure

The Horse Park Zurich-Dielsdorf is one of the most modern and spacious equestrian facilities in Switzerland. In addition to a newly renovated sand show ground (5,000 m2), we have two large riding arenas (63 x 30 m and 61 x 25 m), fixed and mobile guest horse boxes, fixed toilet, administrative buildings, and plenty of space for vans, trucks, and visitors.

How to find us

Arrival by public transport

The easiest way to get to the tournament site by public transport is to take the train to the “Dielsdorf” stop. From there, the tournament site can be reached on foot in about 15 minutes. 

Trains run every half hour to and from Zurich main station.

Arrival by car

Dielsdorf is not far north of Zurich and easily accessible from the Regensdorf motorway exit from the west and Bülach-West from south and east. In addition, Zurich Airport is only 12 km away from the show ground.

Volunteers

Our tournament lives from the commitment of its helpers. That is why we are always looking for hard-working helpers. 

In addition to free food, all helpers are tempted by great clothing items from our presenting partner Tommy Hilfiger Equestrian, which we give as a thank you for supporting us all around the show ground and the stables.
