Longines Balve Optimum

The Longines Balve Optimum is one of the most traditional and at the same time most modern highlights in the international equestrian sport calendar. Every year, top riders from show jumping, dressage and para-dressage - including top athletes from all over the world - come together in the picturesque castle and tournament grounds in Balve to compete at the highest international level.





The event combines sporting excellence with a festival atmosphere: thrilling competitions, emotional finals and the German Show Jumping and Dressage Championships are just as much a part of the program as a diverse supporting program with entertainment, culinary delights and special experiences for the whole family.





The Longines Balve Optimum stands for tradition, elegance and enthusiasm - a magnet for equestrian sport fans and the public who want to experience first-class sport in an inspiring atmosphere.
