The Desert International Horse Park – DIHP 2026

Thermal Desert International Horse Park, with nearly 1.6 million square feet of space dedicated to competitions and horse riding, the Desert International Horse Park is one of the largest equestrian centers in North America. Offering 18 weeks of world-class competitions from October to March, this center welcomes thousands of riders, their horses, families, and friends every year for several months. Competitors from around the world travel to Thermal, California, not only to participate in competitions, but also to enjoy all that the desert has to offer.

Surrounded by the beauty of picturesque mountains, Desert International Horse Park is located near Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, La Quinta, Coachella, and other unique places to discover. The region is renowned for its resort lifestyle, with a selection of fine dining, art and film festivals, golf and tennis, outdoor adventures, and a wonderfully warm and dry climate during the winter months. As the Greater Palm Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau proclaims, you can come #findyouroasis in the desert!
