Highlights
25 stallions from the state stud

The Baroque palace as backdrop
The performances take place on the grounds in front of Moritzburg Palace, one of Saxony's most recognizable Baroque buildings. The four-towered façade stays in view throughout the whole show.
Parade of 16 historic coaches
Sixteen historic post coaches from the stud's own collection drive in procession through the grounds. They are among the oldest preserved vehicles of their kind in Germany.
What is Moritzburger Hengstparaden?
The Moritzburger Hengstparaden 2026 are a multi-date series of breed presentations, classical dressage demonstrations, and show jumping displays held at the Paradeplatz in Moritzburg, Saxony, in September 2026. The parades, organised by the Saxon state stud, are among the most established stallion shows in Germany. For anyone interested in where breeding meets performance, this event brings both together: a formal stallion inspection (Körung) alongside demonstrations of what classical training produces. The Saxon State Police Orchestra provides a live soundtrack throughout. Tickets are available on the official website, seeing all three September dates gives you a different selection of stallions each time.
