The German Olympic Committee for Equestrianism

Equestrian sport is more than just a sport. Because unlike tennis or soccer, the human being is dealing with another living being. The rider bears a great responsibility, not only for himself and not only during training, but also for the keeping, feeding, health maintenance and well-being of his four-legged partner. This is exactly what makes this sport so appealing.

Equestrian sport is very time-consuming for the reasons mentioned above. Therefore, the German Olympic Committee for Equestrianism is pleased about the cooperation with the University of Münster as a partner university of top equestrian sports. The cooperation enables young top riders to bring horse, sport and studies "under one hat". This makes it possible for them to achieve top sporting performances on the one hand and to build a secure future for themselves on the other.

As a member organization of the German Equestrian Federation (FN), the DOKR, which was founded in 1913, is primarily concerned with top-level sport, in particular the organization of international tournaments and championships. In order to create optimal training conditions for the squads and talented young riders, the Federal Training Center (BLZ) was established in Warendorf in 1970.

Almost all of Germany's top riders, such as Ingrid Klimke from Münster, have trained at the BLZ, in some cases for longer periods, or are regular guests there. The facility currently comprises three indoor riding arenas, a multi-purpose arena and a lunging arena, two dressage arenas, two multi-purpose arenas and two jumping arenas each on sandy and grassy ground, a driving and eventing arena on grassy ground with various natural obstacles, a galloping track, horse walker and several stable wings with a total of 110 stalls.

One of the most important tasks of the BLZ is to offer regular training courses for members of the squad, especially for the junior squad under the guidance of the national trainers. A total of approx. 2,000 riders and approx. 4,000 horses take part in courses or training measures at the BLZ every year. In addition, there is close cooperation with the Bundeswehr Sports School, which also has excellent training facilities, and with the Warendorf Olympic Training Center.

Residenz Münster e.V.

For 70 years now, Residenz Münster has stood for dance sports in Münster. We combine the opportunity to move to music in a variety of ways: as a group in ballet, JazzDance, HipHopp and Zumba or as a couple dance in the areas of Latin and Standard. Both recreational and competitive athletes are active in our club. In our dance sports center we have optimal training possibilities for all on more than 500 square meters in two halls with a swing parquet. Therefore, as a state performance base of the North Rhine-Westphalia Dance Sports Association, we also offer cross-club training for dance athletes. Squad trainings and training workshops complement the weekly training with our numerous trainers. We are therefore pleased that our club has produced multiple world champions in Oliver and Martina Wessel-Therhorn, who is now the national standard coach, and that we currently have the best German junior couple. The Residenz Münster also hosts numerous national and international tournaments and always focuses on the optimal promotion and demand of all dance athletes.
