Celle Stallion Parade 2025: A festival of equestrian art and tradition!
The Celle Stallion Parade has proven to be a brilliant comeback this year after a six-year break. On the weekend from October 3rd to 5th, the parade ground took place in the historic setting of the Lower Saxony State Stud Celle the 290th anniversary was duly celebrated. Horse lovers and equestrian sports enthusiasts gathered with a rich program that spanned three days.
The opening weekend began with the characteristic chime at 1 p.m. The visitors experienced a diverse spectacle, ranging from impressive displays of riders in side saddle to impressive demonstrations with four-in-hand horses. Among the highlights were performances by Nils Karabinski, who showed with a char-à-bancs that four-horse horses also play an important role at the Celle State Stud. In addition, Jan Bogun took part and presented the stallions of the Heavy Warmblood breed with a tandem dog cart.
Tradition and innovation combined
The Lower Saxony state stud was founded in 1735 by Elector George II of Hanover and has since made a name for itself by promoting the state's breeding by providing qualified stallions. With a combination of traditional breeding and modern biotechnologies, such as artificial insemination, the state stud remains at the forefront of horse breeding.
In this year's parade, the siblings Lisa and Matthes Röckener thrilled the audience with their displays and insights into free work with their horses. The high-class presentations of the young stallions, including Tambrea, Segantini Due and Valparaiso, particularly stood out. Benjamin Franklin and Janina Tietze also showed what a 10 looks like while galloping, a real feast for the eyes of the audience.
Variety of performances
The diversity of the program was underlined by the performances in various disciplines. A dressage quadrille with 24 stallions, demonstrations with historic carriages and the “Hungarian Post” galloping showed the range of equestrian sport. The entire event was supported by an exhibition area in which dealers presented fashion, handicrafts and many products for horses and dogs.
The special atmosphere of the event attracted numerous visitors. Admission opened at 11 a.m., and the ticket prices of 50 euros for seats and 20 euros for standing room made the visit affordable for many families. Among the invited guests were wheelchair users, for whom individual placements were arranged in consultation.
With new highlights and a return to old traditions, the stallion parade once again consolidated its place in the northern German event calendar. Thanks to this successful new edition, the Celle State Stud remains an important player in German horse breeding and the equestrian community.
