Equestrian tournaments held in Büchenbach-Ottersdorf and Münster

Various equestrian events are taking place in Germany, ranging from youth training to major international competitions. At the Reichhart Ranch in Büchenbach-Ottersdorf, a Western riding tournament for riders under 19 is scheduled for September 5. The event includes training sessions, reining demonstrations, and competitions designed to introduce families to the sport.

In Münster, a large-scale tournament is underway at the Schloss, featuring international riders such as Ingrid Klimke and Markus Ehning. The program includes high-level competitions like the Grand Prix Kür and the Grand Prix of Münster. While the event offers free access to the grounds, it has faced criticism regarding its sponsor, Al Shira'aa, due to human rights concerns in the United Arab Emirates. Additionally, animal welfare organizations have scheduled demonstrations to protest the use of animals in competitive sports.
