European Veterans Set to Shine Again in Italy This June

The European Equestrian Federation (EEF) is delighted to spotlight the return of the FEI Jumping European Championship for Veterans, taking place from 11 to 15 June 2025 at the renowned Riviera Resort in San Giovanni in Marignano, Italy.

This eagerly anticipated event marks the second consecutive year that this beautiful Adriatic venue plays host to Europe’s Veteran Jumping athletes, following a successful edition in 2024.

Organised by the Riviera Resort Organising Committee with the support of the Italian Equestrian Federation (FISE), this Championship continues to grow in stature and atmosphere, bringing together experienced riders from across the continent in an elite celebration of equestrian sport. The Championship invites athletes aged 45 and over from across the continent, representing 47 European nations, to compete in a unique and spirited celebration of experience, sportsmanship, and elite equestrianism. With a warm and professional welcome promised by the organisers, competitors and spectators alike can expect a top-level competition in a world-class facility.

This year’s event will feature the "Master of Europe Ambassadors" Team Competition, a spirited event for Veteran riders jumping at 110–115 cm, run under FEI Jumping Rules.  This exciting addition brings a unique team dynamic to the programme, enhancing camaraderie and cross-nation collaboration. It also highlights the skill and dedication of experienced riders, offering a compelling complement to the Jumping competitions and enriching the Championships for both fans and participants within the equestrian community.

The EEF encourages all invited Federations to take part and support their Veteran athletes on this unique international stage. With definite entries closing on 4 June 2025, the EEF urges members of the European community to visit the official event site and the FEI Jumping European Veterans page for more details.

We look forward to another exceptional edition of this Championship, seeing many of our member nations represented once again in Italy this summer, celebrating experience, sportsmanship and the enduring spirit of competition.
