1. Pioneering Position and In-Depth Technical Challenges

Vinpearl Equestrian Cup 2025 is the first international-class equestrian competition in the S-shaped land, attracting special attention from global experts. This event is a golden opportunity for elite Vietnamese horsemen to compete and gain experience with experienced international athletes.

The competition focuses on two main events: Show Jumping and Gymkhana. These are events that require a combination of speed, precision and subtle communication between rider and horse. Athletes will have to demonstrate their mettle when overcoming complex obstacles, where every second and every touch of the fence determines the final result. Focusing on these events emphasizes the high level of expertise and international vision that the Organizing Committee is aiming for. In particular, the presence of an international jury with extensive experience will directly evaluate the performances, ensuring professional standards and absolute fairness.

2. Three-Division System: A Playground For All Talented Knights Of All Ages

To ensure fairness in competition and create a clear development roadmap, the Vinpearl Equestrian Cup 2025 Equestrian Competition is divided into three separate groups, reflecting skill levels from basic to professional, thereby welcoming all talented riders of all ages:

Junior Division (Gymkhana Test): Tests basic horse control and agility. Includes walking a straight line according to a diagram, going over obstacles & horizontal bars placed on the ground (walk/trot), and other simple control exercises.

Amateur Division (Advanced Gymkhana Tests): Focuses on testing advanced control and agility, with tests such as slalom (crossing poles), zigzag, performing gait changes, walk/trot, circle, and other simple control exercises.

Professional Division (Pole Vaulting): Competing in the 70 - 80 cm level category, this is where riders demonstrate their top pole vaulting techniques.

Each tournament has a clear hierarchy of difficulty levels, ensuring that the total prize value of hundreds of millions of dong will be awarded appropriately for the specific efforts and achievements that the riders achieve.
