Our mission

Maarsbergen Horse Trials promotes the development of eventing in the Netherlands and Europe.

Maarsbergen Horse Trials encourages the growth of competing combinations and is committed to the welfare of the horse. Building educational courses improves the riding skills of the rider and strengthens the bond of trust between horse and rider. The atmosphere of an international top-level event enriches the experience of the rider and their support team. Using the latest safety and health measures develops the knowledge of riders, officials and organisers and safeguards the welfare of the horse.
