Carl Hester, Mary King, Emily King, Yasmin Ingham and Bob Champion are just a few of the equestrian legends signed up to speak at the 2025 National Equine Show, with many more due to be released over the coming months.
This will be the third National Equine Show and will be held at the NEC, Birmingham on 1st– 2nd March. Since the event’s launch in 2023, it’s seen consistent growth in terms of attendees, brands exhibiting, attractions and features. This year, The Inspiration Stage sponsored by Saracen Horse Feeds and the 360 Skills Theatre will share talks and insight from speakers and brands, with both expected to be busy with an incredible list of speakers due to share their knowledge with the crowds.
“We’re so excited to start sharing the speakers we have at this year’s National Equine Show,” said Liz Ormesher, Event Director. “Being an equestrian myself, I can’t wait to see these speakers- true legends in our sport with so much to knowledge and incredible stories!”
One legend is Mary King, who will be taking to the stage with her daughter Emily. Both Kings are known for their prowess eventing with Mary also representing Great Britain at the Olympics six times and winning Badminton and Burghley Horse Trials. “I’m so looking forward to coming to the National Equine Show this year with Emily,” said Mary. “Being interviewed together and then doing a Meet and Greet with everyone should be amazing. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone there!”
Another eventing star due to join host Rosie Turner on The Inspiration Stage sponsored by Saracen Horse Feeds is Yasmin Ingham. Yasmin has had some incredible achievements to date including being part of the gold medal team at CHIO Aachen in 2023, third in Kentucky 5* in 2024, and reigning World Champion. She’s also a member of the current British Equestrian World Class Podium Team. “I’m really looking forward to attending the National Equine Show for the first time in March,” said Yasmin. “I will be doing a talk on stage and will be open to all your questions. With so many top riders and brands attending, it’s promising to be an exciting event!”
Ticket sales have been incredibly strong for the show with early bird selling out in record time. Tickets are available for £15 per day or £20 for a weekend pass, with Meet & Greet Guaranteed Access Tickets available for £40 a day.
