Germany — horse country
Practically every region offers something for riders — the density of farms, trainers, and shows is unique worldwide.
Historically, German riding is deeply rooted in the classical training doctrine: the "training scale" shapes lessons in almost every riding club and is the international reference. In dressage and jumping, Germany has ranked among the most successful nations at Olympic Games and World Championships for decades.
