Nordpferd Neumünster

Nordpferd is a unique event for horse enthusiasts and has firmly established itself as the largest equestrian trade fair in Northern Germany. Since its founding in 1997, it has taken place annually each April at the historic Holstenhallen in Neumünster—one of Schleswig-Holstein’s most prominent venues, known for its excellent infrastructure for trade fairs, shows, and large-scale events.

Organized by Messe & Media Nord GmbH, an experienced provider of audience-focused formats with professional depth, Nordpferd caters not only to riders and horse owners but to anyone—whether professionally or privately—involved with or fascinated by horses. As a public event with the depth of a specialist trade fair, it brings together horse lovers, breeders, equestrian sport enthusiasts, and industry experts, offering a vibrant platform for exchange, inspiration, and knowledge sharing.

The fair's content is impressively diverse, covering everything from classic equestrian sports to horse health, proper husbandry, breeding, training, and alternative approaches to horsemanship. A wide range of exhibitors showcase carefully selected products and services tailored to the audience—such as riding gear, stable equipment, grooming products, feed, and expert consultations on care, training, and well-being.

A particular highlight is the extensive seminar and show program, held across two main areas. In the practice ring, visitors can watch engaging live demonstrations with horses, while a separate lecture hall hosts in-depth presentations that explain theoretical topics in an accessible way—from the latest findings in equine psychology to innovative training methods. The program is rounded off with top-tier show acts and performances that are both professionally impressive and emotionally captivating.

By combining expert knowledge, hands-on experiences, and a curated selection of exhibitors, Nordpferd makes a valuable contribution to the promotion and advancement of equestrian sports and the horse industry in Northern Germany. It is much more than just a trade fair—it is a lively meeting place for all those whose hearts beat for horses.

The Nordpferd takes place annually, and therefore for the 16th time previsibly in April 2026 in Neumünster.
