The show is held every year in January and one of the biggest international equestrian indoor events in The Netherlands.

Nevertheless, Arts did not immediately succeed in convincing everyone, including Freddy Heineken to sponsor and Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld to be the patron of the event.

In 1961 a new hall of RAI Amsterdam was built, the show moved to the new exhibition complex at Europaplein which resulted in a bigger event with more riders and spectators.

In 2006 Jumping Amsterdam hosted the World Cup Finals for dressage, which was won by Dutch Olympic champion Anky van Grunsven.

In 2007 the event was part of the Driving World Cup circuit for only one year and was won by Dutch IJsbrand Chardon.
