A festive spectacle of competitions will unfold over the next three weeks at the recently renovated indoor arena of the Olympic Equestrian Center, made possible thanks to the generous support of friends of our sport — and beautifully decorated in the true spirit of Christmas!

These are the last three competitions of the year in Jumping and Dressage. This week, from 28 to 30 November 2025, the “Filippos Enosis Ellados Christmas Cup” in Jumping will take place.

Over the following two weeks, also at the indoor arena, the final events of the season will follow: the METLEN 77th Panhellenic Competitions in Jumping and Dressage.

The Christmas Cup is a three-day competition featuring classes of different height levels, which act as qualifying and preparatory classes for the Jumping events of the upcoming Panhellenic Competitions. 

After the completion of all Jumping classes of the Panhellenic Competitions, the Christmas Cup Winners will be announced in the following categories: Young Horses 4–5, 6 & 7 years old, Children, Juniors, Ladies, Young Riders & Seniors. The titles will be awarded based on the total points accumulated by horse-and-rider pairs across the corresponding classes of both the Christmas Cup and the Hellenic Championships, according to the official scoring system.

Admission to the venue is free for the public, with classes beginning at 09:00 in the morning and finishing after 17:00. The Small Grand Prix (1.35m) is scheduled for Saturday, while on Sunday all age-related categories will take place: Children, Ladies, Juniors, Young Riders and Seniors.
