For any athlete, participating in the

Olympic Games is certainly the

most impressive experience in his

career. No other sports event gets

the attention of so many people in

the whole world. Around the globe,

thousands of millions of people feel

with him when he succeeds or fails.

Whoever wins a medal, maybe even

a gold medal, in Olympic Games

goes down in sports history.

Also for the discipline performed by

the athlete, the Olympic Games en-

joy highest priority as the achieved

results can influence the image and

popularity of sport disciplines and

even of whole nations for years.

Of course this is also the case for

Germany and its horse sport. With

around 1.6 million riders and more

than one million horses, equestri-

an sport is one of the most popu-

lar sports in Germany. With a total

turnover of far more than five million

thousand Euro and approximately

300,000 jobs related to them, horses

have an enormous economic weight

in our country. On the balance sheet

of all Olympic Games, Germany is

the most successful horse sport na-

tion of the world and German-bred

horses have won most of the me-

dals. In the light of this, the Olympic

Games are of immeasurable value

for Germany as a horse sport nation.

Without doubt all the ones con-

cerned, be it athletes, trainer,

horse owners or other attendants

are under enormous pressure and

bear considerable responsibility

for themselves, the horse and the

image of the sport. In our society

which is so much focused on suc-

cess, all too often we forget what

an enormous effort it means just to

qualify for the Olympic Games, not

to mention to give a successful per-

formance at the Games. Therefore

my wish is that the whole German

country stands behind our riders

Breido Graf zu RantzauPresident of the German Equestrian Federation

during the Olympic Games, is hap-

py with their hopefully lot of good

results and feels understanding and

sympathy with them if the desired

success is not realised.

My particular thanks go to the many

people in voluntary and official

functions who support our riders

and horses in London. I am equally

grateful to all sponsors and patrons

who foster the German horse sport

at the Olympic Games with their en-

gagement. I expect all competitors

to always act fair towards their hor-

ses and their contenders, as this at-

titude is vital for our sport, and wish

them the success they strive for.

PORTRAIT OF THE MAIN SPONSOR AGCO FENDT

AGCO’s premium brand Fendt has

extended its commitment as main

sponsor of the German Equestrian

Team for the Olympic disciplines

until 2014. “The German riders

form one of the most successful

international teams in international

competition and have always been

a guarantee for medals”, explained

Martin Richenhagen, AGCO Chair-

man, President and Chief Executive

Officer, “We are proud to continue

our commitment with this outstan-

ding team.”

agricultural machinery at the world‘s

biggest international equestrian tour-

nament, the CHIO Aachen. In 2012

the Summer Games in London will

be the most important event for the

German Equestrian Team.

“Fendt is a worldwide leading high-

tech brand for tractors and the

German riders lead in international

competitions – that is an ideal com-

bination,” said Martin Richenhagen.

As the main sponsor, the traditional

brand Fendt, which has three loca-

tions in Germany, will finance part of

the equipment and act as the official

tractor partner of the German Olym-

pic Committee for Equestrian Sports

(DOKR) at the Training Center in Wa-

rendorf. Among other things, all the

clothing of the German riders will car-

ry the Fendt logo. With the continued

sponsorship of the German Equipe,

the agricultural equipment company

signalizes its long-term commitment

to German equestrian sports. The

head of the German team, Reinhard

Wendt, explained: “We are pleased

to continue the very successful coo-

peration with Fendt and are grateful

for the confidence that Fendt, as our

main sponsor, has shown in us. We

will be worthy international repre-

sentatives for Fendt and Germany.”

AGCO/Fendt will remain the main

sponsor of the German Equestrian

Team and will contribute signifi-

cantly towards helping the German

Equestrian Federation (FN) and the

German Olympic Committee for

Equestrian Sports (DOKR) meet the

financial and organizational chal-

lenges of this top-level sport in the

best way possible. AGCO/Fendt was

also the main sponsor of the German

Equestrian Team at the last World

Equestrian Games in Kentucky and

is the official product partner for

Dressage is one of the

most successful sports

in German equestrian-

ism. The aim of every

form of equestrian training is the de-

velopment of harmony between rid-

er and horse; dressage is more than

just the execution and presentation

of movements and figures. The tests

are aimed at training the horse gym-

nastically and to develop it correctly.

Through training, the rider obtains

a horse who reacts submissively to

the aids – the rider’s weight, legs

and reins. A correctly-trained horse

is the best possible basis for safe-

ty in equestrianism. Dressage also

increases the performance capabili-

ties of the horse. It serves, ultimate-

ly, to maintain the horse’s health

since, through correct training, the

strength of the horse will be built

up and its joints will be made more

flexible. No matter which equestrian

discipline one specialises in, without

dressage it is impossible. It is the ba-

sis for all other equestrian activities:

for the happy hacker, who rides up

and down hills with a balanced seat;

for the endurance rider, who needs

to ensure the health of their horse

so that it can cover 100-mile rides in

natural balance whilst conserving en-

ergy; and for the showjumper, who

can only get through all the turns

in a course and cover the distances

between jumps with a well-ridden,

gymnasticised horse with a sound

dressage training.

Competitive sport in Germany is di-

vided into the following classes: E

(Preliminary/Training Level), A (Nov-

ice/First Level), L (Elementary-Medi-

um/Second Level), M (Advanced Me-

dium/Third Level) and S (Advanced/

Fourth Level). The most difficult

classes are the top dressage tests

(Grand Prix & Grand Prix Special)

which are ridden at European and

World Championships as well as at

the Olympic Games. These tests,

which are drawn up by the Interna-

tional Equestrian Federation (FEI),

are ridden in a 20x60 arena and con-

sist of approximately 35 movements,

which must be memorised.

DRESSAGE

Dressage tests consist of a certain

number of movements which follow

a specific order or, in a Freestyle, can

be carried out in a freely-chosen or-

der to a musical composition. The

horse moves in the basic paces of

walk, trot and canter on straight or

curved lines, forwards, sideways or

even backwards. At the higher levels

of dressage, more difficult move-

ments are introduced (collected and

extended paces, half-passes, pas-

sage, piaffe, pirouettes, flying chang-

es, and so forth).

The Olympic tests are evaluated by

a group of seven judges and one

supervisor, all placed in different

positions, which form a jury, judging

on a scale which ranges from zero

points (‘not executed’) to ten points

(‘excellent’) for each movement. The

impulsion and the quality of the pac-

es, the horse’s looseness (relaxation

and suppleness), throughness and

submission, as well as the rider’s

seat and effectiveness in the use of

the aids are all evaluated. Marks are

deducted in the event of tests not

being ridden correctly (if movements

are forgotten). The guidebook to the

tests explains what is required of the

rider and the horse in each dressage

test.

this time results in time faults. Pen-

alty points are also given for refusals

or ‘dangerous riding’. Horse or rider

falls result in elimination.

The jumping phase, which is usually

preceded by a veterinary check test-

ing the condition of the horses, fol-

lows the common rules of jumping.

Here too, penalty points are accu-

mulated for knockdowns, falls and

refusals as well as for exceeding the

allocated time. The overall winner

is the combination with the fewest

penalties.

Two facts make the Olympic Games

extraordinary: the number of team

members and the second jumping

competition to determine the indi-

vidual medals. In no other Eventing

championship the team is com-

posed of five rider/horse combi-

nations, the three best of them to

count.

EVENTING

Eventing, an Olympic

discipline since 1912,

is the ‘multiple com-

petition’ of the eques-

trian disciplines. An eventing com-

petition consists of dressage, cross

country and jumping phases. The

official international term for event-

ing is Concours Complet (CC).

Dressage is ridden individually and

is always the opening event of an

eventing competition. It is judged in

the same way as a standard dres-

sage test; however, the final result

is converted into penalties. This

forms the basis for the subsequent

scoring.

Traditionally, the second phase

of an eventing competition is the

cross country over natural obstacles

of varying forms on a cross country

course. The course is to be complet-

ed within a certain time; exceeding

JUMPING

Classes are ridden over a course of

jumps. In individual and team com-

petitions, they can be carried out

over several rounds and, if neces-

sary – if two or more combinations

have successfully completed the

course without any faults, i.e. they

had a ‘clear round’ – a jump-off

against the clock may be required

to determine the winner. The rider

with the lowest number of penal-

ties is the winner. The course con-

sists, at international competitions,

of approximately 15 jumps of up to

1.6 metres in height and 2 metres

in length. An open water jump of

up to 4.75 metres in length is also

one of the obstacles which must be

successfully negotiated. The length

of a course ranges from 600 to 700

metres. Faults are accumulated for

knockdowns, refusals, falls and for

exceeding the allocated time.

Jumping is an Olympic

discipline since 1912.

The first ‘competitive

jumping’ over one or

several artificial jumps started in

1900. The object of the discipline is

to complete a course of jumps with-

out knocking any down as quickly

as possible. Jumping is charac-

terised by rapidity, technique and

courage. It is an extremely popular

sport in Germany, being a discipline

in which the country has enjoyed

extraordinary success. The specific

test in jumping is to ride a horse to

the jump in such a way that the an-

imal can produce an optimal flight

over the obstacle. The rider needs

plenty of skill, balance, feel for

rhythm and accuracy in the use of

the aids to ride the horse over the

jumps successfully. Jumping clas-

ses are offered, both nationally and

internationally, on a scale of E (for

beginners) to S (advanced) with up

to five stars, with the stars deter-

mining the difficulty of each class

(S* is easier than S**).

World Championships were held in

Kentucky. Therefore, equestrianism

is a role model and ground-breaker

for the integration of para-sports.

Grade I is reserved to the most

severely disabled riders. The ath-

letes are mostly wheelchair-bound,

either with a low balance or with

restricted arm or leg functionality.

Athletes with no balance, but with

good arm functionality are also per-

mitted to start in this category. Tests

are ridden in walk and trot; Grade I

is subdivided into Ia (only walk may

be ridden) and Ib (walk and trot are

permitted).

In Grade II, wheelchair-bound rid-

ers with severe impairment in leg

functionality and/or balance, but

with a good to lightly-impaired

arm functionality may participate.

Athletes without the movement

functionality of one limb are also

permitted to start in this category.

The test consists of walk and trot

sequences and, if desired, of certain

canter movements in the freestyle.

PARA-DRESSAGE

Para-Equestr ian ism

should not be confused

with horse therapy or

therapeutic riding. The

German Curatorship for Therapeu-

tic Riding (DKThR) e.V., which is an

auxiliary association of the German

Riding Federation (FN) e.V., cares

for and organises para-equestrian

sports. Special aids (such as, for

example, adapted saddles) make

riding accessible for people with

serious physical as well as mental

disabilities.

Disabled riders are classified in

five different grades from Ia to IV;

the allocation of the grade depends

on the severity of the disability and

therefore ensures a fair competi-

tion. The Ia Grade is reserved for

the most severely impaired, while

Grade IV is for the least impaired.

Each grade has its own tests.

In 2006 Para-Equestrian joined the

ranks of the other seven disciplines

and became the eighth discipline of

the FEI. For the first time combined

Grade III is the most highly repre-

sented competitive class in Germa-

ny. Athletes can generally walk with-

out support. They have disabilities

either in one limb, moderate disa-

bilities in both arms and both legs,

or severe impairments in the arms.

Athletes who are classified as blind

(B1) can also participate in this class,

as can those who have had one leg

amputated. The tests consist of

walk, trot and canter sequences.

The demands are similar to those in

Novice to Elementary classes (First/

Second Level) in able-bodied sport.

In Grade IV, riders participate in tests

similar to those up to Medium (Third

Level) dressage in able-bodied com-

petitions. Athletes have a disability

in only one or two limbs, or have

limitations in their vision. The tests

consist of walk, trot and canter se-

quences whereas the Freestyle can

include most dressage movements

such as, for example, tempi chang-

es.

Much emphasis is placed on correct

riding, accuracy, the riders’ aids,

the suppleness of the horse etc. in

judging the performance of all of the

Grades.

In Freestyle, it is possible to show

dressage movements from high-

er levels. However, there are cer-

tain restrictions due to safety

reasons (for example, a Grade II

rider cannot ride a pirouette, while

half-passes are permitted).

In view of how the horse moves,

anybody can recognise and judge

the influence of the rider. One will

be surprised at how quickly and

willingly the horses become used

to their riders’ ‘alternative’ aids. The

horses are ridden with skill, never

force. After all, each rider, whether

able-bodied or disabled, knows his/

her own limitations, but has learned

to tell the horse what he/she wants.

THE GERMAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE FOR EQUESTRIAN SPORT

The German Olympic Committee

for Equestrian Sport (DOKR) is a

member association of the German

Equestrian Federation (FN) and is

responsible for promotion top per-

formance sport in Germany. In addi-

tion to the four Olympic equestrian

disciplines of dressage, jumping

eventing and para-dressage, the

DOKR also supports the other four

FEI-equestrian sport disciplines of

endurance riding, carriage driving,

reining and vaulting.

The DOKR not only looks after the

top adult riders, but also the young

high-level riders in the three age cat-

egories of young riders (aged 18 to

21), juniors (aged 16 to 18) and pony

riders (up to age 16).

In addition, the DOKR is in charge of

managing and coordinating the na-

tional coaches. The national centre

for equestrian sporting excellence

in Warendorf (Bundesleistungsze-

ntrum Reiten, BLZ) plays an impor-

tant role in the DOKR’s promotion

of high-level sport. Each year, it of-

fers nearly 140 courses and training

events in which around 3.800 rid-

ers from all disciplines, with nearly

3.200 horses and ponies, participat-

ed. The national centre is also re-

sponsible for supporting and train-

ing the sports school of the federal

army in Warendorf.

EQUESTRIAN SPORT IN GERMANY

g Round about 1,240,000 men and

women in Germany (from the age of

14 upwards) ride regularly. If boys

and girls under the age of 14 are

added, there is a total number of

1,600,000 to 1,700,000 riders, driv-

ers and vaulters in Germany. This

was revealed in a market research

in charge of the German FN in 2001.

g According to the same study, at

least about 870,000 persons in Ger-

many (from the age of 14 upwards)

would like to ride. Including boys

and girls under 14, this is a total

number of about 1,100,000 poten-

tial riders. 8,740,000 men and wom-

en in Germany (from the age of 14

upwards) have a general interest in

horses and equestrian sport.

Including the young people under

the age of 14, this is a total number

of nearly 11,000,000.

g There are more than 1,000,000

horses and ponies in Germany (60

million horses world wide). Thus the

horse population in Germany has

nearly quadrupled within the last 40

years.

85848484

EQUESTRIAN SPORT IN GERMANY

Organized Equestrian Sport*

g 7,707 riding and driving clubs

have 727,980 members. With these

figures the German Equestrian Fed-

eration (Fédération Equestre Nation-

ale, FN, founded 1905) the overall

national association of equestrian

sports, is the largest equestrian as-

sociation in the world.

g About 75 % of the FN members

(547,002) are female while the male

group is much smaller with only

180,978.

g The “Deutsche Reiterliche Vereini-

gung e. V. (FN)” is the umbrella

organisation for horse sport and

breeding in Germany with 17 re-

gional, 7 affiliated and 26 breeding

organisation who are member asso-

ciations of the FN.

g Directly affiliated to the FN are

also 3,901 commercial horse cen-

tres and 55,597 personal members.

Competition Sport*

g 3,594 equestrian events with

67,750 competitions and 1,459,828

starts were run. 30,984,265 Euro

were paid in prize-money.

g The FN issued 81,471 annual rid-

ing permits and 1,308 licences for

foreign riders competing in German

national events.

g The FN issued documents for

138,326 competition horses and

2,216 FEI passports for horses com-

peting internationally.

85

Successes*

g At Olympic Games (1912 to 2008)

German dressage-, jumping- and

eventing riders won 81 medals: 37

gold, 19 silver and 23 bronze med-

als.

g At World Championships (since

1953) in the eight official equestri-

an disciplines (Dressage, Jumping,

Eventing, Driving, Vaulting, Endur-

ance Reining and Para-Equestrian),

German riders, drivers and vaulters

won 205 medals: 85 gold, 60 silver

and 60 bronze medals.

g At European Championships

(since 1952) in the eight official

equestrian disciplines, including

Youth Championships, the number

of medals won by German riders,

drivers and vaulters amounts to

942: 401 gold, 299 silver, 242 bronze

medals.

This record of results renders Ger-

many the most successful horse

sport nation of the world, and most

likely equestrian sport is the most

successful sports discipline in Ger-

many.

Horses - The Economic Factor

g According to a scientific survey

nearly every 3rd horse creates one

job. According to this approximately

300,000 jobs are provided by sport

and hobby as well as the breeding

and keeping of horses in Germany.

Between 7,000 and 10,000 people

earn their living by giving riding les-

sons and education of riders and

horses. The horse is direct or indi-

rect main objective of more than

10,000 companies, craftsman’s es-

tablishments and service providers

in Germany.

g Riders and horse owners spend

approx. 2,6 billion Euro per year for

recurring costs around the horse. It

is extremely difficult to estimate the

entire turn-over of equestrian sport,

however, careful projections and es-

timations put the sum at well over 5

billion Euro.

g Further facts and figures can be

found in the Annual Report of the

German National Equestrian Feder-

ation (FN) and on the website www.

pferd-aktuell.de.

GERMAN HORSE BREEDING –THE GUARANTOR FOR SUCCESS

For decades, German horse breed-

ing has made its mark on interna-

tional equestrian sport. The names

of German horses are frequently

connected with Olympic, World and

European Championship titles, suc-

cesses at prestigious Grand Prix and

at World Cup finals.

The sophisticated breeding pro-

gramme (a requirement of the an-

imal breeding legislation) of the

German Equestrian Federation and

its associated warmblood breed

associations forms the basis for

the long-term sporting success of

German horses. Even though each

breed association has its own focus

and traditions, they all have agreed

on a common breeding aim. The

breeding programme ranges from

the judgement of foals to perfor-

mance tests for stallions and mares

and includes a breeding value esti-

mation on the basis of all sport and

breeding dates.

The horses are the results of a

programme of selective breeding,

whether they be Olympic Cham-

pions or vaulting horses at the riding

club. Almost a century ago, some

German breed associations de-

manded that only performance-test-

ed stallions be used for breeding. It

took until 1980, however, until the

stallion performance test became

mandatory for all future sires. Today

there are several levels of selection

from which detailed information can

be gained about stallions, mares

and their progeny.

Facts and Figuresg In 2011, 3,642 riding horse sires

and 64,824 riding horse brood mares

were registered. A total of 29,532

riding horse foals were registered

in 2011. In addition, we recorded in

the field of riding ponies and small

horses: 4,128 sires, 24,303 brood

mares and 9,647 foals.

g At the Olympic Games in Hong

Kong in 2008, 52 out of 194 com-

peting horses were proven Ger-

man bred horses. These German

bred horses won 18 of 45 possible

medals: eight gold, four silver and

five bronze. 19 of the 47 dressage

horses in Hong Kong were of Ger-

man origin. In the Olympic Jumping

competitions that were open to 77

horses, 29 German-bred horses

competed. At the World Champion-

ships of the eight official equestrian

disciplines in Lexington/Kentucky in

2010, 143 out of a total of 696 com-

peting horses had a proven German

pedigree and won a total of 53 med-

als. Thus German studbooks are by

far the most successful ones in the

world.
