58th North German Pony Market Hunteburg 2026

Largest Pony and Animal Market in Northern Germany

The North German Pony Market Hunteburg has developed since its first edition into one of the most important pony and animal markets in Northern Germany. The 58th edition in 2026 confirms its unbroken tradition and attractiveness for exhibitors and visitors from all over Lower Saxony and beyond.

Three Days with Over 25,000 sqm of Market Space

The 2026 edition runs from Friday, October 9th, to Sunday, October 11th. The market area covers more than 25,000 square meters — both under tents and outdoors. This makes the Pony Market one of the largest markets in the region in terms of area.

Over 160 Exhibitors

More than 160 exhibitors present their goods: equestrian equipment, stable supplies, feed, animal feed, animal care products, farm clothing, tools, household goods, and a wide range of market wares. The market thus combines a focus on equestrian sports and agriculture with a classic flea market character.

Large Animal Market on Saturday

The highlight is the large animal market on Saturday: horses, ponies, donkeys, and sheep are traded, presented, and showcased. Breeders, dealers, and enthusiasts come from all over Northern Germany to Hunteburg — the market day is an essential element of the North German horse trading tradition.

Folk Festival Character

In parallel to the market, showmen, carousels, food stalls, and a festival tent offer a classic folk festival atmosphere. This makes the Pony Market interesting not only for trade visitors but also a family highlight. Bratwurst, fries, candied almonds, potato pancakes, and beer characterize the culinary scene.

Hunteburg — Known Beyond the Region

The Hunteburg district in the municipality of Bohmte has become known throughout Germany through the Pony Market. What began as a farmers' market in the 20th century has developed into an event with supra-regional appeal — and is the economic and cultural highlight of the Hunteburg year.
