Great Autumn Riding Tournament Lindhorst – 100 Years RFV

A Hundred Years of Equestrian Sport in Lindhorst

The Rural Riding and Driving Club Lindhorst and surrounding area was founded in 1926, making it the oldest riding club in the Schaumburg district. Over the past 100 years, the club has fostered numerous generations of equestrian athletes, built its own riding facilities, trained show jumping and dressage horses, and established itself as a firm fixture in Lower Saxony's tournament scene. The 2026 anniversary tournament is an occasion to celebrate the club's past, present, and future together.

Three Days of Equestrian Sport

The autumn riding tournament runs from Friday to Sunday. The program includes show jumping competitions of various classes, dressage competitions, and rider games. Athletes from Lower Saxony, Hesse, and North Rhine-Westphalia will compete against each other. The competition classes range from beginner and youth classes to advanced classes with point scales.

Club's Own Facility

The RFV Lindhorst riding facility features a spacious show jumping arena, a dressage arena, an indoor riding hall, and warm-up areas. Grandstands and spectator areas will be expanded for the tournament. A festival tent with catering, a market area for equestrian equipment suppliers, and stalls for regional horse businesses will be set up on the club grounds.

Anniversary with a Celebration Evening

In addition to the sports program, special highlights are planned for the 100th anniversary celebration: a reception for distinguished guests, honors for long-standing members, a celebratory speech, the club chronicle, and a festive evening with a live band and dancing. The club invites friendly clubs, member families, and citizens of the Lindhorst municipality to celebrate together.
