Inform, experience and shop is the motto at the EQUITANA equestrian sports fair. All facets of the fascination of equestrian sports come to life here. From the latest developments and trends from all areas of the market to high-class forums, specialist lectures, exhibitions and demonstrations to breathtaking equestrian sport and enthralling show events in a class of their own. Traditionally, the German Equestrian Federation (FN), as the conceptual sponsor and partner of the fair, also provides information at its stand on topics ranging from A for training to Z for breeding. In addition, it presents a varied programme with national trainers, top riders and top instructors. The motto: Learn from the best.
FN Program
As the conceptual sponsor of Equitana, the German Equestrian Federation is represented with a top-class programme. If you're lucky, you'll even get tips from the national trainer.

Advice and information
Every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., the FN, together with the FNverlag, the German Olympic Committee for Equestrianism (DOKR) and the German Curatorship for Therapeutic Riding (DKThR), offers a comprehensive information and advice service. If you have questions on the topics of training, youth work, mass sport, competition sport, clubs and horse businesses, horse keeping, breeding or personal members - the FN staff will help you.
Registration of horses
Anyone wishing to register a horse or change ownership can do so directly on site at the fair. Simply bring your horse passport and the completed form for tournament horse registration or change of ownership application, hand it in at the FN stand and pick it up again after shopping or at the end of the day. Of course, show participants can also have a list of all their successes printed out at the stand.
