The facilities of the UCJC Sports Club hosted the 30th edition of the CSNP1* Infanta Elena Pony Trophy on May 3 and 4—a staple of the national equestrian calendar that once again brought together young equestrian talents in a competitive, family-friendly, and emotionally charged atmosphere.
Over three intense days, more than 250 rider-pony pairs from across Spain competed in the tournament’s various categories, which counted toward the North to South League and the Champions Cup. Despite adverse weather conditions, the covered arena at UCJC’s Villafranca Campus ensured that all events proceeded smoothly, drawing large crowds of families and pony-riding enthusiasts.
The final day of competition, held on Sunday from early morning, crowned the winners in categories A, A2, B, B2, C, C2, D, and D2, with thrilling performances full of talent, determination, and sportsmanship. Many of the contests were decided by immediate jump-offs, where the precision and speed of the young riders made all the difference.
The Infanta Elena Trophy is an event that, year after year, blends top-level sport with the family-oriented and educational spirit that defines the entire SEK Education Group community.
