EQUITANA Essen

18. - 24. March 2027 | World Fair of Equestrian Sports

EQUITANA is the world's leading trade fair for equestrian sports, held every two years at the exhibition center in Essen, Germany. As an international platform for the entire equestrian industry, it sets standards and offers a unique experience for professionals, horse enthusiasts, and industry experts. Its name derives from Equus, the Latin word for horse, and has long been synonymous with quality, innovation, and expertise. The event is organized by RX Deutschland GmbH, whose experience has made EQUITANA an essential meeting point for the industry.

The fair covers a wide range of topics, from equestrian sports and breeding to horse care and the latest equipment. Exhibitors showcase products and services designed to captivate horse lovers. The offerings include horse transporters, stable construction, and riding technology, as well as feed, veterinary medicine, and grooming products. Additionally, visitors can discover the latest innovations and sustainable solutions for stable and farm management.

A particular highlight is the diverse live program. Renowned trainers and international experts share their knowledge in educational training sessions. The expert congress, powered by AVANT, explores key topics such as digitalization, energy management, and modern stable concepts. Competitions and cups deliver thrilling performances that combine speed, precision, and creativity. Another highlight is the legendary Hop Top Show, which merges horsemanship, music, and lighting effects into a breathtaking spectacle.

EQUITANA attracts exhibitors from all areas of the equestrian world, including equestrian equipment suppliers, feed manufacturers, stable construction companies, tourism providers, and insurance firms. The audience is just as diverse, featuring horse owners, trainers, breeders, veterinarians, riding clubs, and stable operators, all eager to learn about the latest trends, network, and discover new products.

The modern exhibition center in Essen provides top-tier infrastructure for this major event. Its central location in the Ruhr region ensures excellent accessibility by car, train, and plane. With its unique blend of trade fair, event, and industry meeting place, EQUITANA transforms Essen into the epicenter of the global equestrian world for an entire week.
