EQUESTRIAN SPORTS OF UKRAINE
For over three decades, the All-Ukrainian Federation of Equestrian Sports of Ukraine has been educating athletes who glorify our state on world arenas. Over the years, generations of riders have grown up who know the price of victory and know how to fight for it.
russia's war against Ukraine changed everything. Since the beginning of full-scale aggression, dozens of equestrian complexes have been destroyed by missile strikes: animals have died, arenas have been destroyed, and breeding stock has been lost. Each such loss inevitably affects the training of Ukrainian athletes and, as a result, the future of all Ukrainian equestrian sports.
But despite the war, training does not stop for a day - Ukrainian riders continue to win prizes. In 2023, the Ukrainian National Show Jumping Team won: gold in the quarterfinals of the Nations Cup in Greece, silver in the semifinals of the Nations Cup in Austria, bronze in the final of the Nations Cup in Poland. In 2025, Ukraine also achieved a great result in the individual competition
