with qualifiers for the Bundeschampionat of 5- and 6-year-old German dressage horses and dressage ponies, as well as selection trials for the Bundeschampionat of 3- and 4-year-old German riding horses and ponies

From 30 June to 5 July 2026, the Oldenburg State Championships will take place in Höven for the very first time. The facilities of Reiterverein Höven provide ideal conditions for championships, breeding events and gatherings centred around sport and breeding.

The programme includes the Oldenburg Championships for riding horses, dressage horses and show jumping horses, selection trials for the Bundeschampionat of young dressage horses and ponies, as well as HLP evaluation classes for four- to six-year-old riding horse stallions in dressage and show jumping.

One of the highlights is the Elite Mare Show of the Oldenburg associations, featuring the traditional presentation of the coveted Brilliantring. The programme is complemented by a foal auction with around 20 carefully selected quality foals.

In close cooperation with Reiterverein Höven, a high-quality platform for equestrian sport, breeding and exchange is being created. We look forward to welcoming breeders, riders, partners, and national and international guests alike
