Hanover - Renowned experts and trainers will be providing the latest findings and insights into their work and handling of horses at PASSION PFERD from 5 to 8 December, with animal welfare always at the centre of the action. They will provide visitors with valuable information, explain their concepts in detail and answer individual questions. In total, PASSION PFERD offers more than 400 informative and instructive programme highlights, flanked by a shopping and consulting offer from over 500 exhibitors from all areas of the industry.

Among others, Bernd Hackl will be there. For the well-known TV star (‘Die Pferdeprofis’, ‘Yiehaa!’), problem horse solver and young horse trainer, fair and trustworthy treatment of horses is also a top priority. His horsemanship demonstration is entitled ‘The path from young horse to reliable riding horse’.

‘Free communication with horses‘ is the title of Julia Libertyhorses’ lesson. Julia actually comes from a dressage riding background, but discovered her love of western riding when she was just twelve years old. ‘I've always been fascinated by the lightness of western horses.’

Kenzie Dysli and Laury Tisseur will also be represented at PASSION PFERD and will provide visitors with details of their training philosophies to turn a horse into a strong, motivated partner with whom training together is not only physically valuable, but also fun!

Richard Hinrichs is one of the best-known representatives of baroque riding. In the action ring, the President of the Federal Association for Classical-Baroque Riding will introduce this traditional riding style to visitors and provide exciting insights that go far beyond the piaffe.

Christoph Hess is a judge, trainer and training ambassador for the German Equestrian Federation FN. And he is a horse person through and through and has made it his life's work to spread German equestrian teaching worldwide. His particular focus is on the harmony between horse and rider. His contribution: ‘Horse-friendly riding for leisure and competition’.

For Lisa and Matthes Röckener, too, horses are not sports equipment, but can become the best of friends as long as horse and rider work together and setbacks are used positively. However, performance should not have a negative connotation. Their work on and with the horse is based on harmonious co-operation. They show how this works in their lessons at PASSION PFERD.

Julia Krajewski, master of equine management, trainer and Olympic eventing champion, is all about versatile training opportunities. She will also be sharing her knowledge and passion at PASSION PFERD, just like the Hanover Equestrian Sports Association, which will be sending four high-calibre experts into the action ring at the event: Philipp Hess, Lars Hansen, Kathrin Eschenhorst and Waltraud Böhmke.

The ‘PASSION PFERD FESTIVAL for the equestrian world of tomorrow’ on 7 + 8 December is also one of the highlights of the trade fair. In the ‘H'UP’, one of the coolest locations on the entire exhibition centre, everything will revolve around the future of the equestrian world: with exciting experts and stars from the industry, talks, impulses, workshops and lots of fun. The festival is part of the trade fair and included in the admission price!
