Following the succes story of Brussels Stephex Masters in 2014, Stephan Conter, CEO of Stephex Group will host a brand-new, highly-anticipated 5* event in Knokke, Belgium, named Knokke Hippique. From 25 to 28 June, the stars of showjumping will land in Knokke and spread their time over the competition arena’s, the beach and the famous Lippenslaan. Knokke Hippique receives 5* on the international calendar, indicating the event is held at the highest level, to be compared with the Champions League of showjumping. "The interest from the top of the sport for this event is immense. We have got many applications to participate even before we even communicated on it. I believe we receive this recognition as a result of Brussels Stephex Masters, the event we are or ganizing in September for the second time." states Stephan Conter. To welcome all those riders and horses, a terrain of more than 30ha has been prepared with 2 impressive competition rings. On those arena’s riders will compete both during the day and the evening. After dusk, competitions continue with spectacular classes under floodlight. The event is held on an estate between the Natiënlaan and the Nieuwstraat, as part of a golf course to be built over the next years. The terrain of Knokke Hippique is shaped in the same golf-like style. Knokke is a special place. It is often referred to as ‘the Saint-Tropez of the North’. It is an attractor for people who enjoy the good things in life. And what is better than showjumping of the highest level?
