Horse sport is one of the most popular leisure activities in Germans: Over 80% of the riders state that they are very enthusiastic about exercising active disciplines such as dressage and jumping. Equestrian sport has a long tradition in Germany, which goes back to the military character in the 20th century. Today, however, access for amateurs is a matter of course.

a star in the equestrian sports sky

The importance of horse sport in Germany is undeniable. With around 7,000 riding and driving clubs, the FN (Fédération Equestre Nationale) is the largest equestrian sports association worldwide. The various disciplines, from dressage to exciting competitions such as the derby and costume jumping, show diversity and enormous interest in equestrian sports. The competition will also be great this year, because among the participants are medalists of the state championships, including Anna Wejda, who won the title in the women's class on her horse Cellestra last year.

The Stettiner Haff is not only a meeting point for riders and horse lovers, but also a place where people of all ages are found to experience the fascination of equestrian sports up close.
