Special Opportunity for Lead Rein and First Ridden Riders

Young dressage riders will be given a very special stage at CDI Achleiten (23–26 July 2026): On Sunday, 26 July 2026, at 3:00 p.m., riders competing in the Lead Rein Class and First Ridden Class will have the opportunity to take part in the international dressage event set in the picturesque grounds of Schloss Achleiten. The number of entries is limited and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

The initiative aims to give the youngest equestrians the chance to experience the atmosphere of an international dressage competition at one of Austria’s most beautiful dressage venues.

“Supporting young riders is something that is particularly close to our hearts. Those first competition experiences often stay with riders for a lifetime. I’m delighted that, at CDI Achleiten next week, we can offer them the opportunity to gain valuable experience and enjoy the unique atmosphere of this international event,” said multiple Olympian and event organiser Victoria Max-Theurer.

Entries are now open. For further information regarding eligibility and registration, please contact OOEPS Pony Squad Coordinator Gaby Auinger via email at pferdehof.mangstl@gmail.com or by phone at +43 664 141 36 58.
