30 Aug Hagen is calling: Covalliero Dressage Days from 26-29 September
(Hagen a.T.W.) In a summer that has brought new dressage highs with the Olympic Games in Paris, Hof Kasselmann is ready to close out the European outdoor season in September with a show featuring four international tours plus national classes.
Branded as the ‘Covalliero Dressage Days’ and scheduled from 26 – 29 September the event follows in the footsteps of last year’s highly successful CDI Hagen. More than 100 riders used the 2023 event to give some of their up-and-coming young horses their first international starts, while others presented their top horses one more time before the winter season. Hagen is always a favourite with riders, no matter what time of year. The venue guarantees perfect footing across all arenas thanks to the Kasselmann family’s ‘High Score Performance Ground’ system, a friendly atmosphere and optimum conditions for horses, riders, owners and grooms.
This year’s schedule features a CDI4*, CDI3*, CDI1* and CDIU25 alongside several national-level competitions, including an Inter II, short-Grand Prix and Amateur Prix St Georges. Top level judges such as Katrina Wüst, Raphael Saleh (FRA) or Magnus Ringmark (SWE) have been invited. “The CDI Hagen is the last highlight in the European outdoor calendar,” explains organiser Francois Kasselmann. “Thanks to our diverse competition programme, we can cater to the professionals, but also provide amateur and young riders with a great experience at the end of the season.”
