Equiros, the international exhibition dedicated to horses, equestrian sports, and everything related to horse breeding, is set to return in 2026. As a key event in Russia’s equestrian calendar, it brings together professionals and enthusiasts from across the industry. The exhibition showcases horses, ammunition, breeding equipment, and all things related to horse racing and equestrian sports.
Event Details and Venue
The exhibition is typically held at one of two locations in Moscow. Several sources point to the Sokolniki Park as the traditional venue for Equiros, known for its exhibition facilities and accessibility. A later date in the year, often around November, is associated with the Sokolniki event.
However, there is also information indicating a second event in 2026, with the 2nd International Equiros exhibition scheduled to take place from September 18-20, 2026 at the Bitsa KSK (Equestrian Centre) in Moscow. This appears to be a distinct edition, potentially offering a focus on the competitive and breeding aspects of the industry, given the venue’s equestrian focus.
Exhibition Highlights and Activities
Equiros is more than just a trade show; it is a comprehensive event that combines commerce with sport and art. The exhibition covers a wide range of equestrian interests:
- Horses and Breeding: The event showcases various breeds, as well as everything needed for breeding horses, horse racing, and sports.
- Equestrian Equipment and Ammunition: Exhibitors display ammunition, tack, and all necessary equipment for horse care and riding.
- Equestrian Sports: The exhibition features open contests in show jumping and dressage, as well as a championship of pony clubs vying for the Equiros Cup.
- Hippotherapy: A dedicated section of the exhibition focuses on hippotherapy, highlighting the therapeutic benefits of working with horses.
- Art: The event also includes an artistic dimension, with exhibitions of painting, sculpture, and graphic arts related to horses.
Organisers and Context
Equiros is organized by MVK – International Exhibition Company, part of the Hyve Group Plc. The event has been running for many years, with records of participation in Moscow dating back to at least 2006.
