The Princess’s Cup Thailand 2024, now in its 10th edition, is held under the concept “Building the Bond Between Horse & Rider. Discover the Joy of Horse Connection.” It aims to promote equestrian sports and seek national representative athletes to compete at the international level.
Several activities are also held alongside the equestrian events, such as dog contests, a Dog Fun Run program, a bazaar of products, and a flea market with food trucks and street food.
Interested persons are welcome to join the fun at the Princess’s Cup Thailand 2024 at the Royal Stable Unit (BTS Sanam Pao station) in Bangkok, and the Thai Polo & Equestrian Club, Pattaya, Chonburi. The event is taking place until 15 December, at both locations. Attendance at the event is free of charge. (PRD)
