Dressage Championship of the Slovak Republic

On August 10-11, 2024, the Slovak Dressage Championship was held at the Topoľčianky National Stud Farm. Of the four announced categories, three were opened based on the fulfilment of the qualification criteria for the riding pairs - the children's category, younger juniors and older juniors. Unfortunately, the young rider category did not open due to the lack of the minimum number of participants.

The event schedule included open competitions at levels from A to TT, including tasks for pony riders and young horses. Almost 80 riding pairs gathered here, which resulted in 185 starts during both competition days. Foreign riders also supported the event with their participation, mainly from neighbouring Bohemia and also from Germany. The judging panel was also composed of international judging personalities. The main judge was the local Nadežda Ivaničová, the other members were Silvia Poláková (SVK) and Zoltán Prutkay (HUN). For the first time, the international FEI 4* judge Slawomir Pietrzak (POL) was welcomed to Topoľčianky, and from the Czech Republic, Mrs. Kamila Vaňková had her first judging appearance. Ivana Dedinská-Maderová (SVK) was called to the role of steward.
