Equestrian sport has a large fan base worldwide, as a look at the current statistics shows. Millions of people visit racetracks and tournament venues every year, and equestrian sport has also become firmly established in Germany. Statista shows that Germany is at the top of the world rankings in dressage and jumping.

It is also impressive that the CHIO in Aachen is considered one of the largest equestrian sports tournaments in the world. This year, a large number of spectators are once again expected to enjoy the exciting competitions in dressage, jumping, driving, eventing and vaulting. The outstanding German riders include Isabell Werth, who has won eight gold medals in dressage, and Hans Günter Winkler, who has five gold medals in jumping.

But there are also trends and scandals in the international area. Equestrian sport is under pressure due to doping incidents and tightened rules, especially in show jumping. The discussion about health and fairness is at the forefront, and rule changes are on the horizon. Nevertheless, equestrian sport remains a fascinating and popular discipline that connects people of all ages.

The weekend in Kemnitz will be a real highlight for everyone who is connected to equestrian sports and the riding culture in the region. Anyone who wants to experience the captivating mix of sport and socializing should not miss the event. Further information can also be found at Rosenhof Görlitz.
