For centuries, Germany has been an expert in horse sport and horse breeding. Today, about 1.2 million people in Germany participate in the equestrian sport regularly and 1.1 million horses and ponies are located in the country. The German Equestrian Federation (FN) is the largest equestrian association in the world and the only one to unite eight equestrian disciplines, as well as a breeding system under one roof. Its members include nearly 7,600 public riding and driving clubs in Germany with about 690,000 members. Additionally, 25 warmblood breeding associations with more than 50.000 breeders and nearly 4,000 private and commercial riding stables and facilities are part of the FN. More than 300,000 horses for sport and breeding and 83,000 competition riders are registered at the FN. No other country has won more medals at Olympic Games and World Championships than Germany and no other country has had as many successful horses competing – horses that were bred and born in Germany. With its one hundred years of experience, the most modern knowledge and science, the passion of riders, instructors and breeders, combined with the structure of the German FN and the close connection to the German horse industry, the FN will be a strong partner for you in any questions about horse sport and breeding.
