More about Equimur 2025
The equine morphology competition features over 300 Spanish thoroughbreds on display and while this is the main event, the "sideshows" are arguably more eye-catching!
Also appearing is Santi Serra, perhaps the finest horse whisperer in the world, who will be taking part in the shows on the Saturday and Sunday, and there is also a pony jump show.
At the same time a host of workshops and informative talks for professionals and the public are offered alongside food and shopping areas and much more!
This is the second most important annual horse show in Spain, and animals are brought to Torre Pacheco from all over the country for the weekend.
The daily shows are a spectacle of acrobatic riding, cowboy skills, dressage, trap driving and even equestrian flamenco dancing, and tickets for these events are purchased separately from the admission to the general showground.
