Cavaliada is the biggest equestrian indoor show in Poland, taking place in four major Polish cities. It includes a series of showjumping competiitions within the Central European League qualifiers for the FEI Jumping World Cup™ 2019, the Cavaliada Dressage Cup, Polish Eventing Indoor Cup, Cavaliada Futurity, and breeding events such as the free jumping championships for young horses.

The Lotto Eventing Poland Indoor Cup was won by Mateusz Kiempan and the Malopolska-bred gelding Jak Chef (Chef Supreme - Juka x Bonaparte) bred by SK Prudnik – the state studfarm – which may be considered one of Cavaliada winners in the breeding category since horses from their breeding centre were among those frequently awarded...
