Horse & Symphony

Outstanding music, a breathtaking show and beautiful horses – these are the ingredients for “Horse & Symphony” at the CHIO Aachen. The show promises to be an unforgettable experience again in 2025.

The people from Aachen and their guests from the entire region meet up at the Soers for the “Open Day”, for which there is no admission charge.

CAIT – International Traditional Carriage Driving Competition

The “International Tournament for Traditional Driving” (CAIT), which is organised by ALRV in cooperation with the German Traditional Drivers Association e.V. (DTV), is going to be a crowd-puller again this year.

On Saturday, June 28th, clad in stylish costumes the drivers will present their magnificent, historical carriages in the Kurpark Monheimsallee in Aachen, where the traditionality of the carriage, the accessories and the outfit of the drivers will be assessed by three independent groups of judges.

On Sunday, June 29th, the visitors will be able to admire the historical horses and carriages at “Soers Sunday”. After a 15 kilometre road track through the Aachen Soers and Laurensberg, the drivers will complete a combined obedience and cone-driving competition in the Driving Stadium.
