TSCHIO AACHEN
World Equestrian Festival

May 22nd - 24th, 2026

Boyd Exell just doesn’t stop winning. The last gold rosettes also went to Australia – in the Prize of Event Rent GmbH, the Prize of Family Richard Talbot and sensationally enough also in the Baron und Baronin von Buchholtz Nations' Cup.

The spectators celebrated the rider that had won over their hearts and who is now also the winner of the Lindt-Prize 2025, the Belgian show-jumper Justin Verboomen and his stallion, Zonik Plus, the dressage discovery of the year. Since the CHIO Aachen at the latest.

It is not always the biggest classes that write the most emotional stories. Yuri Mansur (BRA) notched up a very special victory in the Mystic Rose Preis.

Last year second place, today the victory! Tony Stormanns, 17 years old, wins the Final of the NetAachen-Prize.

The team really were a perfect match! If one had been able to place bets on who was going to win the MERKUR CASINO-Cup 2025, a lot of people would have probably betted on “Team Yellow” comprising of Calvin Böckmann, Richard Vogel and Michael Brauchle.

The equestrian sport has many faces, tells fascinating stories and arouses big emotions. This once again became clear on Saturday evening during the award ceremony of the “Silver Camera”, when the best horse photo of the year was honoured.

First victory at the CHIO Aachen and a new personal best – Semmieke Rothenberger won’t forget the Grand Prix Freestyle 2025 in the iWest-Prize in the Dressage Stadium at the Soers for the rest of her life.

Dutch victory in the WOTAX-Prize, the Intermédiaire I on Saturday evening. The World Championships bronze medallist, Dinja van Liere, presented her aspiring youngstar, Mauro Turfhorst, in whom she places big hopes for the future. Today, he collected his first gold rosette at the CHIO Aachen.
