The ticket box office for the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) European Jumping and Dressage Championships 2009 will open on September 8, 2008. The event will take place in the magnificent private grounds of Windsor Castle on August 25-30, 2009.

Thirty-two nations will be invited to take part in the competition, which is the first senior combined equestrian continental championships ever to be held at the same venue. Competition starts the morning of Tuesday, August 25 with individual and team Dressage - with the Dressage final (Grand Prix freestyle to music) being held on the evening of Saturday August 29. The team Jumping final will be held on Friday August 28, with the Championships culminating on Sunday August 30 with the individual Jumping final. 

With the FEI Championships being held three years before the Olympic Games in London 2012, it is expected that the world’s top names will appear in both disciplines and the event will be a major celebration of horse sport. Already major backing has been found for the event, with a commitment by UK Sport to provide the Championships with substantial financial support. The Championships have the full support of the British Equestrian Federation (BEF) and their member bodies (BSJA and BD).
