The
Championships
From

is located in the middle of the renowned Hanoverian
breeding area, is again scene of an international sport
event. On this weekend three highlights of the dressage
sport take place at the large Verden riding stadium.
The best European dressage riders will fight for championship
medals; the German professional dressage riders will
compete with each other to decide on their national
champion and among the young dressage horses the new
World Champions will be chosen. Verden made a name as
place for the European Dressage Championship already
in 1997. At that time more than 56.000 spectators followed
the event. Also in this year the city will be a dignified
place for the championships with its large riding stadium
