SARGA.CO – Amid concerns over national unrest in early September, the Shark Anantya 2025 Equestrian Championship proved to be one of the year’s most successful equestrian events. Held at Anantya Riding Club, Gunung Putri, Bogor, from September 2–7, 2025, the competition featured over 800 participant entries and nearly 300 horses from 45 stables across Java Island.
Not only did the event match last year’s success, but this year’s edition was considered to surpass the Shark Equestrian Competition 2024 in terms of both competitive quality and overall atmosphere.
Dressage to Show Jumping: A Track Full of Action
Shark Anantya 2025 featured two main disciplines: Dressage and Show Jumping, across multiple levels—from Walk Trot New Comer to Elementary Open for Dressage, and Learn to Jump 0–40 cm to Show Jumping 120 cm Open. These classes were not only a stage for seasoned athletes but also an opportunity for young, talented riders from various clubs to prove themselves.
Despite concerns about possible cancellations due to security issues, Yusmin Suwoko, Founder of Anantya Riding Club, expressed satisfaction with the successful execution.
"We just wanted to deliver our best, better than last year. Even though some stables canceled, the support from the local community allowed us to hold the event safely and comfortably," said Yusmin.
She also highlighted the importance of sponsors in making the event a success. “This year, sponsors came not only from Shark’s partners but also from Anantya members themselves. This added energy helps us continue improving the event’s quality to a higher level.”
Rahmat Natsir, Event Director and Show Jumping Course Designer, explained that the arena was designed to give riders space to experiment. "We used a course design that allows athletes to choose their best route—whether to play it safe or take shortcuts. This encourages strategy and creativity," he said.
Despite national uncertainties, the event proceeded smoothly without any major incidents—a noteworthy achievement.
