Premiere at PARTNER PFERD 2025 – our new X-Trail!
On an area of 300 square metres in exhibition hall 3 an adventure playground for all four- und two-legged friends will be created, right next to the popular Action Ring! A packed programme awaits you here on all four exhibition days. In the extreme trail the relationship between horse and human is strengthened, trust and a bond are built and the partnership of both is brought to a whole new level – a win-win situation for horse and rider!
Extreme Trail – A short explanation:
An extreme trail is all about precise riding in natural terrain or in a course with obstacles that are modelled after nature. Trust and communication between horse and rider is right at the centre of it all – good groundwork is the requirement so the horse can independently find a way through the trail.
Renowned trainers are going to show exactly that in live exercises and all visitors are invited to experience the trail themselves in guided walkthroughs.
The X-Trail is realised in cooperation with the association Pferde(er)leben-natürlich aktiv from the Erzgebirge.
Their motto: “We do not aim for ‘faster, higher, better‘– but for a sound and constructive training. Human and horse are supposed to have fun with their joint and realistic training so they are able to master difficult situations together in the future.”
Which benefits does the extreme trail provide in the everyday live with horses?
- Promotion of balance, sure-footedness, precision, rideability, coordination, gymnastics
- Building trust
- Ideal training for confidence and serenity
- Trains attention
- Improves sensitivity of horse and rider
- Balancing out the daily competition routine for sport horses
- Schools true “reliance horses”
Among others, we are looking forward to welcome:
Popular trainers
Personalities like Kerstin Rester, the team of Gut Hammberberg, Katja Schnabel or Josef Kmoch present their work at the natural obstacles and demonstrate various possibilities of working with the extreme trail
A special diversity of horses
No matter if Icelandic, Fjord Horse, Shire Horse or Shetland Pony, in our X-Trail they all can show what they are made of. If it is a western, show jumping or leisure horse, they are all having fun here!
You will find a detailed schedule here, expected to be available from December.
