On Sunday, December 28, once the CSIW5 KBC Bank & Insurance class wraps up, the Nekkerhal will shift into full party mode. The legendary “Fancy Dress” show class has become a real crowd favourite at Jumping Mechelen, and this year’s edition comes with a playful “Swingpaleis” twist, featuring a surprising appearance by the Belgian draft horse. The audience will be split into two sides, each cheering for their own team, filling the arena with energy, music and laughter.

From December 26 to 30, the Nekkerhal will once again be the heart of Belgian equestrian sport. For five days, Jumping Mechelen will bring together world-class competition and unforgettable moments.

This unique class promises edge-of-your-seat excitement as Belgium’s European Championship gold medallists, Gilles Thomas, Thibeau Spits, Nicola Philippaerts and Pieter Devos, first ride their own horses before switching onto each other’s.
