Nissan Easter Festival to thrill horse lovers
The 2018 Nissan Easter Festival will showcase top riding in a host of disciplines.
The ninth edition of the Nissan Easter Festival will see competitors from Zimbabwe, Botswana, Swaziland, Zambia and Namibia challenging South Africans in a host of disciplines including showing, equitation, gymkhana, dressage and showjumping.
It’s a fun-filled festival not to be missed by riders, owners and supporters.
Even those who’ve not yet witnessed the grace and power of the horse are invited to attend the free for all 10-day competition taking place at Kyalami Equestrian Park from March 24 to April 2.
Show director Heather Mpofu said there’s something for everyone – even if you don’t know your horse sport.
“There’s the hugely popular Nissan Six Bar event, as well as the Nissan celebrity fancy dress on Easter Sunday which are personal favourites of mine,” said Mpofu.
“There’s also working hunter classes, equitation, showing, and for the first time ever gymkhana games for the children.

The Nissan Kiddies area will also be an action-packed fun zone for kids over the Easter weekend of Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
