Nice double vaults. Height, straight legs, good technique. This is a World Dzhigitovka champion . It’s not hard to climb around a horse, land heavy, have bend legs and messy techniques and call yourself a pro trick rider. What’s skilful is clean work, years of training to achieve the highest standards. This is what we aim for here and admire greatly.

Such a cool photo. jumping and vaulting at the same time. And his legs are still pretty straight 🤘. Carnaval is such a good jumping horse and prefers to be left alone to jump so tricks suit him well. When you have the right team you can really make the dream work and create great shows with new elements and clean good technique. Fedor is one of the best young trick riders I’ve ever met and super talented. Thanks again to for supporting these horses in looking and feeling good to perform their best!

Liverpool International Horse Show. What a show. We brought together the best team of International riders top of their game with riders from Germany, Russia, Australia and the UK. This consisted of a World Dzhigitovka championship- and a silver medalist from Germany . Plus other world championship competitors including 2 bronze female medalists. We brought new tricks not seen in the UK and really upped the standards performing with clean, correct techniques as expected from world class performers. Just loved this show. Thanks to everyone that supported us and helped us achieve this.

Just scrolling through our photo albums and it’s lovely to go back and see what we got up to in our shows. Great trick by Boris on Carnaval over the Jump. This was a few years ago now but still a fab image. We have been a bit quiet on social media here but we have been busy with other elements of our business such as filming and photoshoots and also courses at

Getting awards at The World Dzhigitovka championships! Its nice to get official placings. It has come to our attention that people are claiming to be National Dzhigitovka champions without ever entering a National Dzhigitovka championship or being placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in a World Dzhigitovka championship either? It is unfair to competitors that have worked hard for their placings worldwide in competitions and have attended competitions for that placing. We have a list of placings in all competitions held internationally since 2016 and their is no record of their official placing as the champion. The winners so far at the world championships have only been awarded to Russian riders and well done to them and in the UK the highest score was by a female rider. We cannot stop people making up claims of champion status but we can inform. Thanks for reading from The British Equestrian Dzhigitovka Association. If you’d like to enter. National Dzhigitovka championship we will hold the next one May 2023 at Bury Farm Equestrian Village. Sadly due to the current situation between Russia and Ukraine we had to cancel our event. We wish peace to all. See you next year.
