Sweden International Horse Show
Sweden International Horse Show takes place Dec 3 - 6, 2026 in Stockholm, Sweden. The dress code is Smart casual in the stands; hospitality boxes lean dressier. Serious outerwear for the walk from the commuter train in December darkness. Typical cost ranges from 250 to 1100 EUR per person.
The Nordics' biggest indoor equestrian show, staged at the 50,000-seat Strawberry Arena in Solna over four December days. The programme mixes world-class show jumping and dressage with four-in-hand driving, Icelandic horse tolt and crowd-pleasing entertainment classes, wrapped around a large trade fair. It functions as Sweden's national horse gathering as much as a sporting fixture, with a festive early-December crowd that fills the arena floor between sessions.
