100 Years of Stallion Parade — A Grand Anniversary
The first Neustadt Stallion Parade was held in 1926—originally as an advertising and sales show for the then Royal Prussian State Stud. One hundred years later, the parade has become one of the best-known equestrian events in Central Europe, with a loyal regular audience from all over Germany and Europe. The 2026 anniversary edition will be celebrated accordingly.
Three Saturdays in September 2026
As always, the parades take place on three Saturdays in September—in 2026 on September 12th, 19th, and 26th, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM each day (admission from 10:00 AM). The grounds open three hours before the start—plenty of time for a picnic, stable tours, and exploring the historic stud ensemble.
The Programme
Four hours of programme in 25 scenes showcase the full diversity of the Brandenburg State Stud:
Fanfares and Opening
The ceremonial opening is marked by fanfares with historical trumpet and timpani sounds—a tradition that has heralded the programme for over a century.
Show Jumping and Dressage Demonstrations
International show jumpers and dressage riders demonstrate top performance on Neustadt stallions. The show jumpers tackle obstacles up to 1.40 m, while the dressage horses present movements up to the Grand Prix level.
Historical Uniforms of Prussian Regiments
Riders in authentic uniforms of various Prussian regiments—Garde du Corps, Zieten Hussars, Dragoons, Uhlans—present historical riding culture. Brilliant show performances that highlight Neustadt's close connection to Prussian riding tradition.
Roman Chariot Finale
The dramatic climax is the Roman Chariot Finale: riders stand upright on two horses galloping side-by-side—a breathtaking demonstration of horse control and riding artistry.
The Brandenburg State Stud
The stud farm in Neustadt (Dosse), located in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district, is one of Germany's most important horse breeding centres. Founded in 1788 by Frederick William II, it originally served to breed military horses for the Prussian army. Today, it primarily breeds Brandenburg Warmbloods. The entire area, including stables, riding halls, the palace, and the park, is a protected monument.
Stallion Parade Neustadt — edition 2026
In its anniversary year, the Brandenburg State Stud celebrates 100 years of the Stallion Parade with a programme presented three times. Each of the three Saturdays offers the full show: fanfares to open, international show jumping and dressage acts, exhibition rides in the uniforms of the Garde du Corps, Zieten Hussars, Dragoons, and Uhlans, carriage parades, and the Roman chariot finale. Around 15,000 visitors per day are expected. Tickets are available in advance from several vendors (berlin.de/en/tickets, adticket.de, rausgegangen.de) and are highly sought after—early booking is recommended.
