118th Dobrock Tournament 2026 — Equestrian Tournament

118 Years of Equestrian Tournament at Dobrock

The Dobrock Tournament in Wingst is one of Germany's oldest and most traditional equestrian events. The 2026 edition is the 118th — a continuity that is unparalleled in German equestrian sport. The organizer is the Reitverein Dobrock Wingst, and the venue is the Dobrock riding facility in the Cuxland municipality of Wingst.

Four Days of Tournament — August 13th to 16th, 2026

The 2026 tournament runs from Thursday, August 13th to Sunday, August 16th, 2026. Four days of a packed competition schedule in two disciplines — dressage and show jumping — at national and international level.

CSN/CDN — Show Jumping and Dressage

The Dobrock Tournament is designated as CSN/CDN: national and international show jumping competitions (CSN) as well as dressage tests (CDN). With around 3,000 starts over the four tournament days, it is a logistical and sporting scale that few tournaments in Germany achieve.

German Championships Frequent Guests

The importance of the tournament is also reflected in its recognition by the governing bodies: German Championships are regularly held at Dobrock. The high standard of the competitions and the infrastructure of the riding facility have earned the tournament this status.

Dobrock Riding Facility — Modern Infrastructure

The facility in Wingst has several jumping arenas, dressage arenas, warm-up areas, stable tents, and grandstands. The grounds at the foot of the Wingst ridge (Dobrock) offer a scenically attractive backdrop — unusual for the otherwise flat Cuxland marshland.

Wingst — Ridge in the Cuxland

Wingst is one of the most scenically attractive places in the Cuxhaven district. The ridge with the Dobrock observation tower, the wildlife park, and the forests stands out clearly from the surrounding marshland. Equestrian sport has developed its own tradition here — the Dobrock Tournament is its most visible expression.
