CHIO AACHEN
World Equestrian Festival

June 25th - July 4th 2021

Plenty of horsepower, a Swedish Instagram star and basketball in the indoor riding area

The Aachen Youngstars is being postponed until spring 2021. The current situation has made no other decision possible.

The presenter Annica Hansen didn’t not what amazed her most: The shoes of the Formula 1 reporter and regular guest at the CHIO Aachen Kai Ebel (purple with a white skull and crossbones), the unexpected talents of the YouTubers Marina and Julia (“Marina and the Ponies”) or the luxurious life of some famous horse oldies. The answer awaits you on Sunday evening in the CHIO Aachen Magazin.

They are among the most promising young show jumpers: Six top talents are currently training in Aachen, the Excellence Programme of the CHIO Aachen CAMPUS has got underway.

Learning a great deal about horses, sitting in the saddle oneself and getting to know the famous CHIO Aachen showgrounds – that’s what the “CHIO Aachen Kids Camp” from October 19th-23rd, offers. It is still possible to register.

100 percent CHIO, 100 percent online, 100 percent free: In future there is going to be one whole hour of pure CHIO Aachen once a month on the website, YouTube and Facebook. The digital CHIO Aachen Magazin is becoming an evergreen.

The victory in the Allianz Prize at the “Aachen International Jumping” was a Dutch/Brazilian co-production. Because the winner, Maikel van der Vleuten, received the decisive tip from the Brazilian rider, Marlon Modolo Zanotelli. Henrik von Eckermann from Sweden came second, ahead of Julien Epaillard from France.

The world show jumping elite is participating at the Aachen International Jumping. In addition to the top international stars, 25 of the best young riders (aged up to 21 years) also competed in the Deutsche Bank Stadium, where the dressage riders are at home during the legendary CHIO Aachen. Before the concluding class, the Allianz Prize, we spoke with the Show Director, Frank Kemperman.
