The Pfingstturnier (Pentecost Tournament) of the Reit- und Fahrverein Ströhen is one of the largest equestrian events in the southern district of Diepholz, attracting riders from all over Lower Saxony and numerous spectators to the grounds of the Ströhen Zoo every Pentecost weekend. Competitions range from lead-rein classes to advanced jumping (Class S) and intermediate dressage (Class M). The facility in Wagenfeld-Ströhen combines a sporting atmosphere with the familial ambiance of a rural zoo, making the tournament an event with appeal far beyond equestrian sports. From May 22nd to 24th, 2026, this traditional tournament will be held again.

Equestrian Tradition at Ströhen Zoo

The Reit- und Fahrverein Ströhen e.V. has been hosting its Pentecost Tournament for many years on the grounds of the Ströhen Zoo in Wagenfeld. The facility at Tierparkstraße 43 offers spacious warm-up and cool-down areas, a well-maintained show jumping arena, and a separate dressage arena. This makes Ströhen one of the most modern club facilities in the Diepholz district and capable of hosting demanding competitions without issue.

Competitions from Lead-Rein to Class S

The program traditionally includes competitions for young riders up to tasks for ambitious tournament athletes. Scheduled events include lead-rein classes, rider competitions, young jumping horse classes, as well as jumping competitions in Classes A, L, M, and up to Class S. In dressage, classes up to Class M are offered. This wide range allows both aspiring and top athletes to compete on the same grounds over a weekend.

Ströhen Zoo as a Special Setting

The proximity to Ströhen Zoo, one of Lower Saxony's most well-known zoos, lends the tournament a special atmosphere. Families can combine their visit to the tournament with a stroll through the zoo, making the weekend attractive for both equestrian enthusiasts and day-trippers.

Club and Commitment

Behind the tournament is the commitment of the members of the Reit- und Fahrverein Ströhen, who jointly manage the event through days of preparation. Catering, stable services, and organization are all voluntary, shaping the character of the tournament and ensuring a pleasant atmosphere.
