Hetzel Spring Masters

The show programme extends from a leading rein class for the very youngest riders to a grand prix with EUR 10,000 in prize money. Over the five-day show there are no fewer than nine 1.25m/1.35m classes and six 1.40m classes. When the team put the competition programme together they made sure it included classes for all levels of riders. In addition to classes for professional riders, the Amateur Tour offers non-professionals the opportunity to compete with their peers. There is also a Youngster Tour for young horses and an U25 Tour for the leading young riders.

This show also happens to be a selection venue for Rhenish young riders hoping to qualify for the Best of the Best competition in Warendorf, the most important national event for this rider age group besides the German Junior Rider Championships.

The shows at the Holger Hetzel Equestrian Sports Centre have been attracting a growing number of spectators and riders in recent years and some new innovations have been launched to kick of this year’s outdoor season. The already spacious outdoor arena with its state-of-the-art ebb and flow irrigation system has been widened by an additional 20 metres.

Save the date: 24 - 27 April 2025!

„I think our five-day competition programme, with classes that are tailored to professionals, amateurs and younger riders from Germany and abroad, is a great way to start the outdoor season.“
