Equestrian sports in Germany
Get those horses saddled and you’re off to the races!
German Equestrian Association
As far as the German Equestrian Association (FN) is concerned, there really is nothing so good for the inside of a man as the outside of a horse. As the umbrella association for all horse breeders, riders, drivers and vaulters, it organizes more than 725,000 members. The association has been representing the interests of horse and rider since 1905 - promoting young talent and the Olympics, involved in horse breeding and animal protection.

German Polo Association
The sport of polo is as much a part of the British royal family as Queen Elisabeth. In Germany, this fast-paced game of “hockey on horseback” is also becoming increasingly popular. The German Polo Association (DPV) has been promoting this discipline since 1972. As the national gaming organization, the DPV makes sure that the game is played by the rules and represents the interests of its members.
