Aachen, Germany
CHIO Aachen is the official tournament of the Federal Republic of Germany, renowned for hosting the World Equestrian Festival. With a history dating back to 1898, the event features Nations' Prizes in various disciplines including show-jumping, dressage, eventing, four-in-hand driving, and vaulting. Drawing over 350,000 spectators annually to the traditional show grounds in the Aachen Soers, it stands as a significant and time-honored event in equestrian sports.
Not limited to just hosting events, CHIO Aachen also serves as a unique competence centre for equestrian sport. The establishment of CHIO Aachen CAMPUS exemplifies its commitment to the sport by consolidating a wide range of equestrian sport projects and initiatives. This campus is envisioned to operate throughout the year, contributing not only to the sport but also to the development of Aachen into a year-round hub for international equestrian sports - emphasising its ambition to operate 365 days a year.
As a German company, the contributions of CHIO Aachen to the sport and the region are noteworthy and have the potential to influence the future of equestrian sports on a global scale.
