German youth equestrian successes 2026

Entities: Le Mans · Leni‑Sophie Gosmann · Denmark · Marion Fohrer · Warendorf

Overview

In late July 2026 Germany’s junior eventing team won gold at the European Championships in Hagen, and Calvin Böckmann became the inaugural U25 world champion in Ireland. A few days later the German pony dressage squad secured its seventh consecutive team gold at the Pony European Championships in Le Mans, with Leni‑Sophie Gosmann delivering a personal best. The following week Germany completed a clean sweep at the youth FEI Dressage European Championships in Le Mans, winning both the team pony title and individual gold with Gosmann on Diamantini EA WE, while the junior voltige team from VV Köln‑Dünnwald claimed European gold.

On 2 August, the German pony team added two individual medals at the same Le Mans championships: Gosmann took silver (78.845 %) and Steffanie Victoria Horsted Dyrlund earned bronze, with several teammates finishing in the top ten. In parallel, the DSP Summer Festival in Darmstadt‑Kranichstein highlighted Bavarian breeding success as the three‑year‑old palomino stallion Best Friends Dchibo captured the DSP champion title with an 8.14 score, while Golden Shadow placed fourth.

These results underscore the depth and continuity of Germany’s youth equestrian program across eventing, dressage, voltige and breeding initiatives.
