The Spanish riders finalize their preparation for the European Championship at the CSI Maeza

CSI Maeza 2025 will once again be a key meeting point for the elite of national equestrian sport and for young promising riders.

As in previous years, the Asturian event will recognize local talent with two special trophies: the Mancomunidad de la Sidra Trophy, which awards the best Spanish rider in the Maeza Grand Prix, and the Sariego City Council Trophy, aimed at recognizing the best U25 rider in the entire competition.
