National Championships

We are delighted to announce that  the

2026 National Veteran Championships will  be held at:

​

Arena UK, Lincolnshire on

4th - 6th September 2026

​

The National Veteran Championship is the largest Veteran Equine Event in the UK and is host to the prestigious end of season Supreme Finals and the much acclaimed Veteran of the Year.

The show is hosted over 3 days and has over 150 classes (showing, dressage, jumping and fun classes), most of which are open to both members and non-members with no qualification necessary. We are also hosting the final HOYS Veteran qualifier of the season.

When classes become full, you can go onto the waiting list for that class – simply enter class 1000 ‘wait list’  and enter class number(s) into the notes box.   

Please let us know (by email ideally) should you wish to withdraw from any of the classes you have entered, so your space can be freed up.  See schedule for details of refund policy.
