In late July 2026, Germany’s junior eventing team captured gold at the European Championships in Hagen, with riders Lennard Tillmann (Veltiner) and Tony Stormanns (RMF Cinnamo) leading a squad that also included Brianne Beerbaum, Malte Merschformann and Jolie Kühner. A few days later, Calvin Böckmann became the inaugural U25 world champion in eventing in Millstreet, Ireland, delivering a flawless round on Altair de la Cense. At the Pony European Championships in Le Mans, the German pony dressage team secured its seventh consecutive team gold, scoring 224.771 points to finish ahead of Denmark and Sweden. The quartet—Lilly Kasselmann (Nasdaq FH), Lilli von Helldorff (Nabucco HW), Victoria Winkmann (Peach), and Leni‑Sophie Gosmann (Diamantini EA WE)—delivered personal bests under coach Caroline Roost. Gosmann also earned individual gold on Diamantini EA WE, while Steffanie Victoria Horsted Dyrlund took bronze on Cosmo Callidus NRW. Additionally, the junior voltige team from VV Köln‑Dünnwald won European gold. During the opening qualifiers for the World 6‑Year‑Old and 5‑Year‑Old Dressage Championships, German riders showed significant depth. Kira Laura Soddemann won the 5‑year‑old qualifier on Einfach Imposant B, followed by a sweep of top positions by Ellen Richter, Alina Schneider, and Alexander Yde Helgstrand. In the 6‑year‑old category, Denmark’s Bettina Jæger led the standings, with German riders including Isabell Werth and Linda Weiß also competing. By late August, German youth riders maintained momentum at the European Eventing Championships in Segersjö, Sweden. Following the dressage phase, the German Junior team held the top position, with Teresa Leowald leading the individual standings. In the Young Rider category, Germany also led the team standings, with Carl Voigt and Mathies Rüder holding a narrow margin in the individual rankings. Following the dressage phase in Segersjö, the German Junior team, led by Frank Ostholt, maintained its lead over Great Britain and Ireland.
