Forces Equine to Host Sunshine Tour Qualifiers at Hickstead in 2026

Forces Equine is delighted to share that we have been chosen to host official qualifying classes for the renowned Sunshine Tour, set to take place at Hickstead in September 2026.

This exciting addition to our calendar provides riders with a fantastic pathway to compete at one of the UK's most respected equestrian venues—an opportunity that continues to inspire so many within our community.

Held as part of the Forces Equine Games (FEG), these qualifiers are designed to be fully inclusive. Riders from all backgrounds are welcome to compete, with no requirement to be a Forces Equine member. However, members will benefit from reduced entry fees, as part of our ongoing commitment to adding value to the Forces Equine network.

Founder Debi shared her enthusiasm for the announcement:
"We're incredibly proud to be able to create this opportunity within our event. To offer competitors the chance to qualify for such a well-regarded show—especially at a venue that means so much to our members—is something very special."

The schedule will span multiple disciplines, including Dressage, Show Jumping, Showing, and Eventers Challenges, ensuring a broad and accessible programme for competitors at all levels.

With a strong focus on community, opportunity, and progression, this promises to be a highlight of the 2026 season. Whether your goal is qualification or simply to be part of a professionally delivered and welcoming event, we look forward to seeing you there.

More details will be released in the coming months via our official platforms, including www.fegames.uk and our partners at www.gratitudegames.uk.
