The dressage Center Máriakálnok is gearing up to celebrate the 10th edition of the Máriakálnok dressage Festival from May 15-18, 2025. The festival will feature the first Central European League World Cup qualifier of the 2025-2026 season, as well as educational opportunities such as an FEI Stewarding course and national judges course with Knut Danzberg.
Riders participating in the CDI-W Mariakalnok will have the chance to earn selection scores for team consideration at the European Championships in Le Mans, Kronberg, and Crozet. Additionally, riders aiming for the 2026 World Cup Finals in Fort Worth, Texas, can earn World Cup ranking points at this qualifier. The ground jury will include top judges such as Thomas Lang, Clive Halsall, and Elisabeth Max-Theurer.
As part of the 10th Mariakalnok dressage Festival, two FEI courses will be held simultaneously, offering opportunities for dressage Stewards to advance to international Level 1 and for officials of all levels to maintain their status in the FEI system. To celebrate the anniversary, a big riders’ party with Brazilian dancers will be held, creating a festive and entertaining atmosphere at the show. Entries for the event close on April 21, 2025.
