Quotes from the stars

“For us, being able to put on such a big show evening at EQUITANA means leaving our own comfort zone. Riding in front of thousands of people is one thing. But speaking and riding in front of thousands of spectators is something else entirely.”

Jessica von Bredow-Werndl
Team World Champion Dressage Rider

“A training evening in this dimension is also something completely new for me. I still remember exactly how I was at EQUITANA for the first time as a little boy. It was very exciting and we gathered so many impressions that we all fell asleep on the bus on the way back.”

Ludger Beerbaum
five-time Olympic show jumping champion

“Top-level, amateur and leisure sports are just as much at home at EQUITANA as the various riding styles. What unites us all is the love of horses. That's why I would like to see everyone accepting each other more. That is the challenge for the next few years.”

Isabell Werth
most successful dressage rider of all time

“EQUITANA is a successful mix where everyone finds something for themselves. That's what I particularly like about this concept. This bringing together of different interests and disciplines is unique and ensures that everyone feels comfortable at the fair.”

Reitmeisterin Ingrid Klimke
Two-time Olympic team eventing champion

“The special thing about the fair for me is the diversity. I think it's great that all breeds and riding styles come together here. It's great to discover the numerous innovations. I always meet lots of people, so coming to Essen is a bit like a holiday - an educational holiday.”

Uta Gräf
Book author and Grand Prix trainer

“My first impression of the fair is that everything is huge. The diversity is unbelievable. It's just really great.”

Simone Blum
World Champion Showjumping
