SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITES
The NZ National Show Jumping & Show Hunter Championships is an award‑winning, nationally recognised equestrian event. Conceived in Canterbury in 1996, the show has proudly remained in the heart of the Mainland ever since, growing into one of New Zealand’s most prestigious and anticipated equestrian fixtures.
As one of the South Island’s largest jumping events, the Championships are hosted annually at the picturesque, Equestrian Sports New Zealand–owned Dunstan National Equestrian Centre at McLeans Island, Christchurch. Situated on the doorstep of the South Island’s biggest city, the
venue offers exceptional accessibility for competitors, supporters, sponsors, and spectators, ensuring strong attendance and engagement year after year.
The Championships have been repeatedly honoured by Equestrian Sports New Zealand:
Jumping Show of the Year – 2023, 2021 & 2019
Show Hunter Show of the Year – 2025, 2024, 2023, 2021 & 2019
Across four days of exciting competition, the Championships celebrate the full spectrum of the sport — from the smallest and cutest pony combinations in Show Hunter to elite horse‑and‑rider partnerships competing in the Premier Show Jumping class.
This breadth attracts a wide cross‑section of riders, families, professionals, and long‑time supporters, creating a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere that resonates strongly with
audiences nationwide.
