Competition and Education at 10th Anniversary Edition of Mariakalnok Dressage Festival on 15

2025 CDI-W Mariakalnok

Dressage Center Máriakálnok is in a festive mood as it will be celebrating the 10th edition of the Máriakálnok Dressage Festival on 15 - 18 May 2025.

The CDI-W Mariakalnok combines competition with education. Not only does it stage the first Central European League World Cup qualifier of the 2025-2026 season, but this year the full competition programme is enhanced by an FEI Stewarding course and national judges course with Knut Danzberg.

With a ground jury including 5* judges Thomas Lang, Clive Halsall, Elisabeth Max-Theurer and Raphael Saleh, assisted by Orsolya Hillier, Peter Hansaghy, Sascha Schulz, Lukasz Walter, Kjell Myhre, and Lionel Du Tranoy, the CDI-W Mariakalnok will be the venue to collect scores for team consideration for this summer's European Championships in Le Mans, Kronberg, and Crozet.

In addition riders dreaming of the 2026 World Cup Finals in Fort Worth, Texas, can earn World Cup ranking points in this World Cup qualifier.

"Our show offers riders in all categories, from pony riders to senior competitors, the opportunity to ride in front of an experienced panel of judges in the best conditions," said show director Anikó Komjáthy-Losonczy.

Education and Entertainment

Two FEI courses will be held simultaneously as part of the 10th Mariakalnok Dressage Festival.

Opportunities will be provided for Dressage Stewards to transfer-up from national to international Level 1. Also a Stewards maintenance course will be organized for officials of all levels to maintain their status in the FEI system. Participants will be welcomed from all continents and will be directed by the highest level of professionals, Jacques Van Daele (BEL) and Petra Choc (AUT). Knut Danzberg will head a national judges course.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary Mariakalnok will be throwing a big riders' party on the weekend with Brasilian dancers for entertainment. The show boasts a lovely, familiar and cosy atmosphere where top dressage, education and entertainment merge.
