Now in the fifth year of its partnership with Toyota South Africa Motors, the festival has continued to grow in both scale and popularity, drawing riders of all ages and expanding public interest in the sport.
Kyalami Park Club event director Heather Mpofu said the partnership had helped turn the event into a major showcase for equestrian sport while welcoming new audiences.
“This partnership has helped us grow the sport and create an extravaganza that not only showcases equestrian sport at the highest level on the continent, but also warmly welcomes new audiences to experience all that the sport and its community have to offer,” said Mpofu.
She added that this year’s event promises strong competition, quality prizes and high energy, especially in the top classes where riders will be eager to make an early impact in the season.

The festival will also continue to support development through the KPC Academy, which currently assists 15 riders with entry support and learning opportunities across the sport.
Toyota South Africa Motors vice-president of marketing Glenn Crompton said the festival had become a world-class platform that nurtured talent and delivered memorable experiences for spectators.
Entry is free, making the festival an ideal Easter outing for families and friends.
The course will be designed by seasoned builder Ryan Sander, who will undoubtedly pose challenging fences and distances, yet also reward exceptional execution in the two-round Grand Prix.
