The Horse Show
Every year, the Saignelégier Horse Show "Marché-Concours" brings together more than 40,000 people who come to enjoy a programme that is as rich as it is varied and makes horses the star of the show the whole weekend long. Horse demonstrations, foal presentations, numerous races, a horse show presented by the guest of honour and a huge parade with over 400 horses all set the pace for the programme of events. You will also find stands and entertainment for children on-site.
The Horse Week
Several activities are held the week prior to the Marché-Concours. The foal competitions, racing demos and musical entertainment are part of the programme of events happening in several localities of the Franches-Montagnes district: St-Brais, Montfaucon and Saignelégier. It’s what we call " The Horse Week". Visitors will also have the chance to attend Roman chariot race training sessions in anticipation of the Horse Show’s top event. Admission is unrestricted and free-of-charge.
Tickets for the Horse Show can be booked at the Jura Tourism office in Saignelégier or online via our ticket booking system.
