Military Boekelo-Enschede returns from Thursday 1 to Sunday 4 October 2026 in Boekelo, a village in the municipality of Enschede in Twente. The event is a CCI4* international eventing competition, in which horse and rider contest three disciplines: dressage, cross-country and show jumping. By the organiser’s own figures the event draws approximately 60,000 spectators and runs on more than 1,400 volunteers.
Why it matters
Boekelo is the Netherlands’ annual fixture at eventing’s international four-star level. For spectators it is a rare domestic chance to watch top-level cross-country, ridden over open terrain rather than in a stadium.
Practical information
The event is ticketed, with sales through the organiser’s website, military-boekelo.nl. Ticket prices and the day-by-day competition schedule were not confirmed from official pages at the time of writing; check the organiser’s site before planning a visit.
