After this year's successful comeback, equestrian sports fans already have something to look forward to: From August 5 to 9, 2026, the world's best five-, six-, and seven-year-old dressage horses will once again gather in Verden to compete for the world championship title.

Verden thus remains a special place for the international promotion of young dressage horses. The pilot project began here in 1997, opening the way to great careers for many horses and riders.

The atmosphere in Verden is unique. When horses and riders enter the arena, sporting ambition and genuine passion merge to create a special experience. Breeders, trainers, and horse enthusiasts from all over the world come together to witness talent and development up close. Preparations for 2026 are already underway.

Note: Access to the event grounds is only possible via Gate D.
