Dressage World Breeding Championship for young horses
From 2025 to 2027, the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses will once again be held in the equestrian city of Verden.
In the week from August 4 to 10, 2025, the best dressage talents in the world will choose their champions at the showgrounds on Lindhooper Straße. The World Championships will thus return to their “birthplace” in Verden. The pilot project took place in Verden in 1997. They have since become the starting point for a number of international careers.
Preparations are already underway and anticipation is high. In previous years, it was above all the numerous expert spectators from all over the world that made the title fights for five to seven-year-olds a real highlight.
The World Championships for Young Dressage Horses were last held in Verden in 2021. At that time with limited spectators due to the corona pandemic.
