On Friday, October 16, (inter)national show jumping and the absolute top of Frisian harness sport will together form the backdrop for an evening full of sport, tradition, and experience. With the spectacular Frisian Eleven Cities Jumping and a program packed with national championships and prestigious classes, the Frisian Evening powered by Robben Metaalrecycling Groep promises to be another highlight of Indoor Friesland.
The evening opens with the Frisian Eleven Cities Jumping , back by popular demand!, in which (inter)national show jumpers and female riders compete against each other in a spectacular class that has become inextricably linked to Indoor Friesland. The combination of top-level sport, speed, a very special course, and an atmospheric ambiance makes this competition once again an impressive start to the Frisian Evening.
Only the very best Friesian stallions come to present themselves during the Championship for Stallions in the Sjees. The class brings together power, presence, and tradition in an exciting battle that gets the crowd on their feet every year. Which Friesian stallion will take home the top honors this year?
This event is all about the perfect partnership between two top-class harness horses. The riders will do everything they can to secure the title.
A number of strong champions from last season will determine who can call themselves the absolute top team of the 2026 season.
The Dutch harness horse is the embodiment of strength, elegance, and character. With their impressive build, proud posture, and upward, energetic trot, these horses manage to enchant the audience time and again. Their beauty goes hand in hand with an honest and willing temperament, allowing them to perform in the arena with visible pleasure and intelligence. During Indoor Friesland, the very best harness horses present themselves at their finest, from experienced champions to ambitious young riders who have made a name for themselves this past season. For these young talents, it is an honor to ride in the grand arena of the WTC Expo.
And the finest moment of the evening? The Northern Harness Horse Championship featuring the best harness horses from the Northern Netherlands. The result is determined 50% by the jury and 50% by the applause meter, so the audience plays a major role in determining the absolute winner of this prestigious championship.
