WORLD EQUESTRIAN FESTIVAL
CHIO Aachen

Breath-taking landscapes, rich tradition, high-speed trains, temples and pop culture: Japan has many facets. A great deal of which can be experienced at the World Equestrian Festival, CHIO Aachen 2020 – especially during the Opening Ceremony on the evening of June 2nd, 2020.

A visually stunning review of the CHIO Aachen 2019, equestrian athletes and their soul mates, the Rolex Grand Prix winners Kent Farringtion and his gazelle as well as many other topics. All information about the current issue!

The “Horse & Symphony” concert is the impressive opening to the largest and most famous equestrian sport event in the world – the CHIO Aachen. A spectacular equine show programme is accompanied live by the Aachen Symphony Orchestra under the direction of the General Music Director, Christopher Ward. Due to the high demand for tickets, the organisers have decided to offer an additional venue date in 2020 as well.

The Course Designer, Frank Rothenberger, said it before the jump-off of the Rolex Grand Prix at the CHIO Aachen 2019: Kent Farrington is one of the fastest riders in the world. The words of the master of the obstacles proved to prophetic.

Felix Haßmann and the SAP-Prize, that’s a good combination! In 2017, the 33-year-old already came second in the competition, this time he crossed the finish line first, both times with his speedy partner, SL Brazonado.

The Dutch four-in-hand drivers and the DHL Nations Cup at the CHIO Aachen, go together like a horse and carriage. For the twelfth time in a row the Oranje drivers won the team classification.

There is no better compliment that the show-jumper for the USA, Beezie Madden, could make a horse than comparing it with her Olympic gold medal-winning horse, Authentic. They are big hoof steps, that Madden’s KWPN-bred gelding, Garant, are to follow in. He took the first step today in the Sparkassen-Youngsters-Cup.
