EQUITANA Melbourne’s first night of entertainment will be one you’ll remember. The Grand Pavilion will be in full flight all night from 6:30pm with this high energy, fast paced and electric display of Australia’s top jumping talent.
The Knock-Out Stakes will feature Australia’s top jumping riders racing head to head in a mirrored course, two at a time. The quickest competitor will go through the next round. The knock-out style format means that eventually the two fastest riders will face-off for the final and the winner will be crowned CHAMPION.
In ‘edge of your seat’ fun, the All or Nothing Gamble, never before seen in Australia, will have prize money up for grabs and will challenge our top jumpers to their limits. The catch is, round by round, they have to risk all their prize money for the chance to play on and win more.

- Jumping Collective Masterclass featuring accomplished jumping duo Jamie Kermond and James Paterson-Robinson.
- Fast paced and electric Jumping Full Flight Night Show featuring Australia’s top jumping talent.
