Elite mare show in Rastede: highlight of Oldenburg horse breeding!

Dates are of great importance in horse breeding, and on July 24, 2025 it will be that time again: The elite mare show as part of the Oldenburg state tournament in Rastede is coming up. reitturniere.de has announced that the catalog for the event is now available online. The best young mares from Oldenburg breeding are presented here, and this is by no means a small thing, but rather the breeding highlight of the year.

The elite mare show not only attracts breeders but also horse lovers from the region. The best mares are honored in a festive setting. This year, spectators can look forward to a special event in the castle park in Rastede, while the Oldenburg champion mare will be crowned at the Brillantring. To take part, the mares must meet certain criteria and have previously been recommended in mare performance tests, as oldenburger-pferde.com reports.

A festival for horse lovers

But the elite mare show is only the highlight. The Oldenburg state tournament also offers the state championships. These select the best young horses in various age groups, with titles being awarded in the categories of 3- and 4-year-old riding horses, 5- and 6-year-old dressage horses and 4- to 6-year-old show jumping horses. The tests also serve as qualifications for the upcoming Federal Championships in Warendorf. As rimondo.com shows, these competitions are also a selection platform for the Oldenburg Elite Auction in October.

This year, particular attention is being paid to the newly introduced HLP classification tests, which are part of the tournament program. Here stallions have the opportunity to collect points for entry into the Stallion Book I through their sporting achievements. This speaks for the high quality and commitment of the Oldenburg Horse Breeding Association.

The stars of the event

Of course the mares are the focus of the event. Among the outstanding horses, some of the best are presented, including mares such as 'Adriana S Callaho's Benicio', a dark chestnut from 2021, and 'Edwina Gold', a bay from 2020 who boasts an excellent pedigree, including Best of Gold and Sandro Hit. 'Amazing Figuera' and 'Blind Date A.W' are also proudly presented by the breeders, with many of these mares standing out in sport due to their excellent qualities.

To make it even more exciting for the spectators, the OS mares' free jumping will be broadcast on a large screen, making the experience even more intense for those present.
