Leading Austrian dressage rider Victoria Max Theurer will be away from competition for a few months as she is expecting her first child; a pregnancy whose due date is expected in the autumn. Absent from the CDI scene since September 2025 and the Hagen competition where she rode Espoir de Massa, Victoria Max Theurer had given the reins of her other Grand Prix horse, Birkhof's Topas FBW, to her partner Stefan Lehfellner; a change of rider that raised some questions. The multip

For the first time in five years, a team other than Germany stood atop the podium in the opening FEI Dressage Nations Cup™ leg in Wellington (USA). The United States was best on home turf Thursday at the Global Dressage Festival, securing the victory in the final ride.  Under the guidance of Chef d'Equipe Christine Traurig, Ashley Holzer (Hawtins San Floriana), Jordan LaPlaca (Gold Play), Meagan Davis (Toronto Lightfoot), and Anna Marek (Fayvel) finished on a total score of 2

While since last weekend, between announcements of defections and catch-ups, the Fort Worth World Cup Final start list has been slowly being revealed, new names now appear and significant ones: If British's Becky Moody and her Jagerbomb are considered favorites, they won't be traveling to Texas alone, as they will be joined by Charlotte Dujardin and Alive and Kicking. Their participation is somewhat unexpected, given that they only accumulated 25 points in London and Amsterda

Since the end of his partnership with the Glock family, the Dutch rider Hans Peter Minderhoud has not appeared in competition: he last competed in Leeuwarden last October, on Small Tour level, with My Toto, a 9-year-old by Toto Jr. The former Dutch national team rider started a new mount today, for now quite unknown, in the Saint George class at a national competition held in Voorthuizen, Gelderland: Kir Royal O.

Hour after hour, the participants of the Fort Worth World Cup Final are revealed... with now the announcement of the participation of Austrian Bettina Kendlbacher. Like Moritz Treffinger, Bettina Kendlbacher did not qualify directly, as she finished 11th in the Western European League with her Broadmoars Don Alfredo AWO, thanks to the 44 points she earned at the Mariakalnok (Hungary), Lipica (Slovenia), Basel (Switzerland), and Neumünster (Germany) legs. A member of her nati

At 36, Lithuanian Justina Vanagaitė Samuile is slowly but surely writing her name in World Cup history: in 3 weeks, she will participate in the 3rd consecutive Final of her career after those she were part in 2023 in Omaha and in 2024 in Riyadh. It's still difficult to say precisely what the starting list for the Fort Worth World Cup Final will look like. As for the Eastern European league, it's not yet known whether the top-ranked pair, Poland's Sandra Sysojeva and her Maxim

13th after 's-Hertogenbosch, the young German Moritz Treffinger was theoretically ineligible for the World Cup Final in Fort Worth, Texas. However, this was without taking into account the changes recorded in recent hours by the FEI. At 22, Moritz Treffinger is already an very experienced rider: if he rides for the renowned Gestut Bonhomme, he was also the 2018 European Pony Champion, the 2025 European U25 Champion, and a three-time team gold medalist. Having finished 7th in

Real figure of dressage in America, Steffen Peters has not appeared in international competitions since the Paris Olympics, where he scored an unusual 66.491% with his Suppenkasper. Since then, the American has been forced to step away from top-level competition due to neuropathies in his feets and hands. Udon, Floriano, Grandeur, Lombardi, Prince, Ravel, Rosamunde, Wizard Banamex, Legolas : at 61 years old, the rider born in Germany is about to debut a new horse at this leve

Since yesterday afternoon, following 's-Hertogenbosch , the nine qualifiers after the final round of the Western European League are known (see HERE ). However, as mentioned previously, the starting lineup for the Texas seems to be quite different. Here's why. Fears related to air transport, stallion's managing, Aachen/Olympic qualification's goal, bad past experience, the reasons are certainly as diverse as they are personal: nevertheless, horses.nl annonced yesterday what
