The fact that the Holstein association facility in Elmshorn is ideally suited for extensive events was proven with the first-ever licensing last winter, and will soon host the first major outdoor event of the year.
From June 13-16, 2024, friends of the Holstein horse and athletes from all directions will come together as part of the Holstein Horse Days.
There is a lot to offer spectators in Elmshorn: the state championships for four- to seven-year-old showjumping horses, five- and six-year-old dressage horses, as well as qualifications for the Federal Championships for riding horses that enrich the program alongside other top-class tests in courses and arenas up to advanced level.
