The San Francisco Peninsula Chapter of the California Dressage Society is presenting an exciting Dressage Masterclass with Patrik Kittel at The Horse Park at Woodside on September 13-14, 2025.
Patrik has represented Sweden internationally across his 25-year career in dressage competition, winning the 2024 FEI Dressage World Cup, the 2025 Swedish Dressage Championship, and the 2025 Fairness & Harmony Preis at Jumping Amsterdam, the latter chosen by a vote of spectators in the stands and online for the most harmonious rider.
Patrik competed for Sweden in the 2008, 2012, and 2024 Olympic Games, and brought home bronze from the 2011 (freestyle), 2017 (team), and 2019 (team) European Championships. Following the 2024 Paris Olympics, Patrick was appointed one of seven athlete representatives from various sports on the Active Committee of the Swedish Olympic Committee.
Patrik is looking forward to sharing the knowledge that made him an international champion. “After 25 years in top sport, my goal is to give as much as I can from my tool box to each and everyone who comes to this Masterclass, so they can take home tools to help develop their horses.”
Principles and Practices, Young Horses through Grand Prix
During the Masterclass, Patrik will be working with a stellar lineup of specially invited horses and riders at all levels from young horses to Grand Prix. Working with Patrik, the exceptional demo riders will demonstrate the humane principles and lifelong practices that are the basis for harmonious performance in dressage sport.
Spectators will be able to participate throughout the Masterclass in Q&A sessions dedicated to training young horses, medium level, small tour, and FEI levels. At the Saturday afternoon “Cocktails & Conversation” VIP ticket holders will have the opportunity to mix and mingle with Patrik, demo riders, and other spectators.
Tickets Are Available Only Online Ahead of the Masterclass
VIP tickets offer prime luxury seating on The Horse Park’s raised berm under the shade tent, with excellent viewing and exclusive hospitality, including breakfast, snacks, gourmet lunch, and beverages. General admission ticket holders may purchase food and beverage onsite. Sponsorship opportunities are available, as are vendor spaces.
Because venue regulations strictly limit the number of spectators, ticket purchases are advisable as early as possible. Tickets are available only online, at www.sfpmasterclass.org for both VIP and general admission.
