Your Horse Live

At Your Horse Live you can watch leading riders work in the main arena, pick up training ideas in a second arena and shop for your horse in one day out at NAEC Stoneleigh in Warwickshire. The 2026 show ran from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 November across Halls 1, 2 and 3, and dates for the next one have not been announced yet. Its organiser, the team behind Your Horse magazine at Kelsey Media, bills it as the UK’s biggest equestrian shopping show, with more than 200 trade stands.

How a show day worked in 2026

In 2026 gates opened to VIP and Standard Plus ticket holders at 8.30am and to Standard ticket holders at 9am, and the show closed for everyone at 5.30pm. Standard tickets bought at the gate gave entry from 9.30am, and the organiser warns that strong advance sales can mean no gate sales at all, so check the show website and social channels a few days before you travel.

Choose the ticket that gets you a seat

• VIP reserves a numbered seat in the WeatherBeeta Main Arena all day on the day you book.
• Standard Plus guarantees a main arena seat for either the morning or afternoon session; both feature the same riders.
• Standard gives main arena access on a first come, first served basis.

Under 3s go free, and children aged 3 to 15 need a child ticket. Registered disabled visitors can bring a carer free, with proof such as a Personal Independence Payment letter, a Blue Badge or a Freedom Pass, and a limited number of wheelchair spaces with a carer seat can be booked with Standard Plus or VIP tickets.

Watch leading riders in the WeatherBeeta Main Arena

The 2026 main arena line-up included dressage riders Anna Ross and Becky Moody, eventers Oliver Townend and Ros Canter, showjumper Geoff Billington, liberty trainer Ben Atkinson, and Simon Grieve with Sam Dracott and Meg Elphick. Serena Kullich rode bridleless showjumping, and grassroots riders competed in the SEIB Search for a Star Championships.

Take home practical ideas from Arena Two

Arena Two returned in 2026 with How to Yard talks, meet and greets and pole and grid work. Nina Gill of Fancy Footwork Equestrian showed simple pole exercises you can try at home. Ben Atkinson explained his BAM training method, Nicole Sherwood gave an introduction to Western riding, and three show turnout sessions covered a native pony, a traditional cob and a top-to-toe finish from Katie and Chris Jerram-Hunnable.

On the Shut Up and Ride Podcast Stage, supported by Animal Friends Pet Insurance, hosts Simon Grieve, Ben Atkinson and journalist Jenny Rudall talked with guests from riding and beyond. You can also visit the Heavy Horse Village, a Rescue Village and breed displays.

Shop from more than 200 stands

The published exhibitor list includes LeMieux, WeatherBeeta, Harry Hall, Dengie, Spillers and Baileys Horse Feed, alongside World Horse Welfare, Redwings Horse Sanctuary, Blue Cross, Retraining of Racehorses and the Farriers Registration Council. There is no cash point on site, and each trader decides whether to take cash or card. Two Shop and Drop points let you leave your shopping during the day. If you follow the equestrian show calendar, the Westpoint Equine Fair follows on 5 December 2026 and The National Equine Show opens at NEC Birmingham on 27 February 2027.

Getting to Stoneleigh Park

If you drive, follow the AA signs for Your Horse Live once you see them rather than your sat nav. Most parking is on grass, so wear suitable footwear, and a shuttle bus links Car Park 3 with the show. Blue Badge holders park on hard standing near the main entrance. The show is mainly indoors, on tarmac that is uneven in places. NAEC Stoneleigh publishes rail and bus details. Other events at the venue include The Movers & Storers Show on 17 November 2026 and Race Retro from 19 February 2027, and you can browse more shows in Kenilworth.
