From 25 to 30 August 2026, Warendorf will once again be the centre of attention for the best young horses and ponies bred in Germany. At the Al Shira’aa National Championships, champions in the various age groups will be crowned in the disciplines of dressage, show jumping, riding horses and eventing. Every year, the event serves as a key meeting place for breeders, riders, horse owners and equestrian enthusiasts from all over the world.

The Holsteiner Verband will also be there once again and warmly invites all breeders, riders and friends of the Holsteiner horse to come along.

Holsteiner stand right by the show jumping arena
The Holsteiner stand is situated right at the entrance to the show jumping arena, offering the best view of the potential champions. Over a cup of coffee, there’ll be time for good conversations about breeding and sport. Experienced staff from the fields of breeding, stallion management and marketing will be on hand to answer questions, provide information and engage in personal discussions.

· On Friday, 28 August, at 5.00 pm, Managing Directors Felix Flinzer and Arne van Heel will be available for a discussion session centred on Keaton, to answer questions and engage in personal conversation.

· On Saturday 29 August at 3.00 pm, Breeding Director Stephan Haarhoff will also be hosting a discussion session. Take the opportunity to find out more about the latest developments in Holsteiner breeding and to speak directly with the Breeding Director!
