Just two combinations delivered a clear round on RB Sellars Cross Country Day at the Adelaide International CC15* 👏
Congratulations to @jeffree_eventing and Sam Woods!
A true testament to the skill, partnership and bravery required to tackle one of the world’s great 5* tracks and maybe a nod to the challenging course that our 5* designer Mike Etherington-Smith built! ✨

One of our favourite additions to the 2026 Adelaide Equestrian Festival was the @k1wines by Geoff Hardy Cellar Door 🍷✨
With premium viewing right on the edge of the arena in a relaxed Festival atmosphere, it quickly became a favourite place to soak up the action across the four days - and even get a wave from the top riders!
If you joined us in the K1 Cellar Door this year, we’d love to hear - what did you think? 👇

Did you know every rider who completes Adelaide receives a commemorative completion pin? ✨
The colour and number of stars reflect the level of class achieved, making each one a true badge of honour. Here, Sam Woods receives his Adelaide International CCI5* pin, one that will no doubt take pride of place on his jacket. 🐎👏

The @thatcherscider Island was the place to be on Cross Country Day 🍻🐎
With one of the best vantage points on course, it offered front-row views of all the action - galloping hooves, big splashes and everything in between.
If you were lucky enough to get a ticket, see if you can spy yourself in our snaps. 📸

Did you catch @georgethefarmerau at the Festival? 🚜🌾
There was plenty of dancing, singing, and a whole lot of learning as George brought farming to life for our younger Festival fans (and the young at heart!). 🕺
It was a fun, interactive way to connect with life on the land—and a big hit with Festival goers! 🙌

Getting our horses home safely is no small task-and this year, transporting our New Zealand horses to Adelaide (and back again) was a huge undertaking. 🐎✈️
That’s where our sponsors @flyirt play a crucial role.
From managing complex logistics to ensuring every horse travels safely and comfortably, their expertise in international equine transport is what helps make the Adelaide Equestrian Festival a truly world-class event.
It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes work that often goes unseen but makes all the difference. 💙

What a year at the Adelaide Equestrian Festival. ✨
From the very first horse on course to the final salute, 2026 delivered something truly special and it simply wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible people behind it.
To our organising committee, our sponsors and partners, our volunteers, our riders and their teams and most importantly… to our spectators - thank you! More than 38,000 of you joined us across four unforgettable days and your support, enthusiasm and love for the Festival is what makes the atmosphere so electric year after year. 💫
We are incredibly proud to stage this event in the heart of our beautiful city. To be able to run a world-class 5★ event right here in Adelaide is something truly special, and it wouldn’t be possible without the support of the @cityofadelaide and the @southaustralia Tourism Commission. Thank you for backing our vision and helping us showcase South Australia on a global stage. 🌏

Behind every jump, every turn, and every perfectly presented course is an incredible amount of work that happens long before the first horse leaves the start box.
A huge thank you to @kubotaaus for playing such a vital role behind the scenes at the Adelaide Equestrian Festival. Our build team are so appreciative of their equipment and support that make setting up the event site and bringing our Cross Country course to life possible. 🚜
Building a world-class course in the heart of the city is no small feat and we’re so grateful to have Kubota as part of the team helping us deliver a 5★ experience year after year.

Sure, all eyes are generally on the arena Show Jumping Day, but our cameras are firmly focused on the @leader_equine Kiss and Cry!
Deep breaths, celebrations, tears, groans, and hugs, it all happens here! 👏
