For the International Arena Horse Show Frankfurt, tournament director Matthias Rath has announced several new features this year: The indoor derby will become a real all-round event. The world\u2019s best all-round rider has already announced his participation. The top 12 dressage final will once again be held in Frankfurt, this time under the name Dreame Top 12 Dressage Final and for the first time with team world champion and individual bronze medalist Katharina Hemmer. And for the tenth anniversary of the purple horse, the ambassador of the IFRF, the charity team around Ann Kathrin and Liselott Marie Linsenhoff has come up with exciting innovations.

Olympic champion Michael Jung is set to take to the starting line<\/strong>
The 2026 indoor multi-sport test from last year will be transformed into a real indoor multi-sport event on Friday evening: USG Indoor Multi-sport presented by Equistro. \u201eThe test is much more focused on versatility than in 2025; it will be significantly higher and more difficult, which is why we have now also included an international multi-sport course director for this.\u201c The course director is the German Pony Multi-sport coach, R\u00fcdiger Rau, who has been responsible for the indoor courses at Stuttgart Multi-sport since 2002. On a large screen, the multi-sport expert explained in detail how he designed the course for the fair hall, how the gate is integrated, and how the obstacles in the training area are planned. Rau is pleased about another opportunity to present the versatile sport on a large festival hall stage and announced with great anticipation: \u201eOne rider has already confirmed his participation, and that rider is none other than the three-time Olympic champion Michael Jung \u2013 there is no better one.\u201c
\u00a0
Winner of the Derby in the Opera House<\/strong>
As in the past year, Olaf Petersen Jr. designed the courses for the eight international dressage competitions: \u201eWe and, above all, the riders were incredibly happy with the courses,\u201c emphasizes Rath. \u201eBoth in Frankfurt and in Hamburg \u2013 we definitely want to maintain the cooperation.\u201c
For the second time, Frederic Tillmann will take to the starting line; for the first time as the winner of the German Derby in Hamburg. \u201eGetting into the Festhalle is like entering a large opera hall,\u201c explains the spring rider enthusiastically. He will bring two or three horses with him to Frankfurt. \u201eI\u2019ve had some injury problems with my horses, but I\u2019ll definitely bring two with me. And my son has even offered to lend me his European champion for Frankfurt.\u201c His son Lennard has become the team European champion for juniors this year, so Veltiner, his Bayern horse, could be seen in the \u201eFrankfurter Opernsaal\u201c under father Frederic. Of course, the Derby winner has a big goal: to perform as well as possible at the Grand Prix of Hesse on Sunday, presented by Deutsche Verm\u00f6gensberatung AG.\u00a0
As in the past year, in 2026 the HR television will broadcast the Grand Prix live from 15:30 to 17:30, and all the tests will also be broadcast.\u00a0ClipMyHorse.tv<\/a>\u00a0to be seen.\u00a0

The trigger moment<\/strong>
The DVAG final day begins with the 20th final of the Youth Horse Grand Prix, the Louisdor Prize, before the best riders in the world present themselves in the dressage of the Dream Top 12 Dressage Finals. \u2018It\u2019s just incredibly fun to compete against the best in the world,\u201e is pleased Katharina Hemmer. \u201cAachen has already given a good taste of this this year. There aren\u2019t many tournaments where the world\u2019s top riders get together like this. It\u2019s something very special.\u201e She is aware that it could be a \u201cpinch moment\u201e when she rides with top star Denoix PCH in the dressage. The music had made the sensitive fox a little too emotional in the past. \u201cI like to let his music from A-ha play during the walk-over preparation, quite relaxed, and then we\u2019ll go to one or two halls with a good music system to practice so that he can hopefully show his best in Frankfurt.\u201e
\u00a0
Partnership and performance density<\/strong>
For the 35th time, the final of the N\u00dcRNBERGER Burg Cup will be celebrated in Frankfurt on Saturday; never before has the level of competition been as high and intense as this year: All twelve finalists qualified with scores that are no more than 2.5 percentage points apart. \u201eAs a company, we stand for reliability and have built a tradition with the N\u00dcRNBERGER Burg Cup over 35 years \u2013 horse racing has become part of our DNA,\u201c emphasizes Andr\u00e9 Omar Abu Insneineh (Head of Exclusive Sales, N\u00dcRNBERGER Versicherung). \u201eWe also see horse racing as a business success for us, and that success is not driven by short-termism but by a partnership that has grown over decades and that we continue to build and develop.\u201c
\u00a0
250,000 for the region<\/strong>
The International Fairgrounds Equestrian Tournament Frankfurt has been offering more than \u201cjust top-class horse sports\u201d for many years. It is also about values, tradition and the idea of people who are not doing so well or who are facing special challenges. Since 2016, the Purple Horse has been the ambassador of the tournament\u2019s charity initiatives. \u201cOver the last ten years, we have been able to collect approximately 250,000 euros for the region here,\u201c summarizes Liselott Marie Linsenhoff, \u201eand we naturally hope that the number will double again in the next ten years. Let\u2019s see how we can arrange that. This year, the horse will be auctioned off for the first time via an American auction. We always say: Every euro counts! In line with this, every euro can make a difference and the Purple Horse follows the last bid home. In that sense, it can end up anywhere, even in a riding club, for example.\u201c In addition, for the first time this year, lilac colored anklets will be available at the stand of the Linsenhoff Foundation, whose proceeds will also benefit the selected charity projects.\u00a0
