Highlights
Five disciplines, one venue
Show jumping, western riding, groundwork, racing, and breed showing all run at the same event. No shuttling between venues, no choosing between programmes.
470+ exhibitors
Tack, feed, breeders, vets, trainers, and more – the exhibitor list covers most corners of the equestrian world. Worth a focused plan, or just wandering.
Around 50,000 visitors
Around 50,000 people come through over four days. Plenty of room to connect with breeders, trainers, or fellow riders you wouldn't normally bump into.
Hannover Messegelände
The Hannover fairground has the space and infrastructure to handle an event this size – large halls, short walks between areas, and enough room for horses, exhibitors, and a big crowd.
Was ist PASSION PFERD?
PASSION PFERD is an equestrian trade fair and show held at Messegelände Hannover in Lower Saxony across four days in early December 2026. The event combines competitive sport, a stallion inspection (Körung), breed and young horse classes, and a wide range of demonstrations under one roof. The programme spans show jumping, western riding, groundwork, liberty work, and performance shows alongside breeding and young horse presentations, making it one of the broader horse-world gatherings in Germany in December. Hannover's long-standing reputation as a centre of horse breeding gives the event a natural home. Tickets are available through the official website.

The city has deep roots in horse breeding, particularly the Hanoverian warmblood, which gives the venue a context that goes beyond logistics.
