TSCHIO AACHEN
World Equestrian Festival

May 22nd - 24th, 2026

The Allianz Arena in Munich has long since been a landmark of international football. Now, a second sports venue in Germany will bear the name Allianz: Allianz and the CHIO Aachen are opening a new chapter in their long-standing partnership with the new Allianz Park in Aachen, which they are presenting as the centrepiece of a shared vision for the future of equestrian sport in Aachen. The focus of the cooperation is the clear commitment to shared values, social responsibility and sustainable development.

With the sensational winner of the Lindt-Prize, Justin Verboomen, and an extensive review of the CHIO Aachen 2025.

He is considered to be a calm and perfectionist, but at the same time a very multifaceted type: Frederic Wandres is not only the Olympic Team Champion, he is also the newly crowned European Champion. In the new episode of the CHIO Aachen Podcast, the successful dressage rider talks about why he gets the best ideas when sweeping up, what interests him apart from riding and how he got out of the big void after winning the gold medal in Paris.

Second place in the Prize of Family Richard Talbot at the CHIO Aachen 2025 proves it once again: Mareike Meier is one of the world's top four-in-hand drivers. The discipline remains extremely male-dominated. But the 39-year-old tried it out at some point, enjoyed it and then ‘just did it’. In the latest episode of the CHIO Aachen podcast, she reveals her recipe for success, gives insights into the extraordinary atmosphere in the drivers' paddock and talks about how she balances this demanding sport with her family life.

Rolex Grand Prix in Geneva? Martin Fuchs has already won it twice. Spruce Meadows – also crossed off the list. But he has tried winning the Rolex Grand Prix of Aachen so many times in the past and never succeeded – until today.

Boyd Exell just doesn’t stop winning. The last gold rosettes also went to Australia – in the Prize of Event Rent GmbH, the Prize of Family Richard Talbot and sensationally enough also in the Baron und Baronin von Buchholtz Nations' Cup.

The spectators celebrated the rider that had won over their hearts and who is now also the winner of the Lindt-Prize 2025, the Belgian show-jumper Justin Verboomen and his stallion, Zonik Plus, the dressage discovery of the year. Since the CHIO Aachen at the latest.

It is not always the biggest classes that write the most emotional stories. Yuri Mansur (BRA) notched up a very special victory in the Mystic Rose Preis.
