Schade & Partner’s “Healthy Posture, Healthy Horses” Stable Competition to Be Held at the “Passion Pferd” Trade Show in Hanover in the Future

This competition is no walk in the park: The slogan chosen more than 20 years ago—“Healthy Posture, Healthy Horses”—has lost none of its significance in terms of its programmatic approach. Stall size, pasture areas, and exercise—of course, these standards are part of the evaluation criteria. But the competition requires far more comprehensive documentation: What does the vaccination management look like? How is the feed sourced? What measures are taken for parasite prevention? What is the status of storage facilities? Is the operation well-positioned in terms of pasture management?

Competition to Be Held at the Passion Pferd Trade Show in Hanover in the Future

The competition organized by the consulting firm Schade & Partner now has a new home: The Passion Pferd trade show, which takes place on the first weekend of December at the Hanover Exhibition Center, has entered into a partnership with Schade & Partner. According to a press release, the goal is to support “equine businesses even more effectively” and strengthen “their long-term viability.” The symposium “HEALTHY POSTURE – HEALTHY HORSES” will take place on December 3, 2026, as part of the PASSION PFERD trade show.

Partnership Aims to Support Equine Businesses in Meeting Challenges

The goal of the agreed-upon partnership: to provide equine businesses with the best possible support in overcoming current and future challenges. These businesses are a vital component of the equine industry. And the challenges they face are becoming increasingly complex. Efficient business management under increasing cost pressure, ever-stricter requirements for horse welfare, customers whose expectations and wishes are rising—all the way to the further development of services or the establishment of new structures. “Knowledge, exchange, and practical insights in one place where the entire industry comes together”—that is the goal of the collaboration.

The well-established one-day conference, featuring expert presentations and panel discussions alongside the competition for equine businesses—whose motto has always been, “THE FUTURE BELONGS TO HIGH-QUALITY BUSINESSES”—and the presentation and recognition of the award-winning businesses—will take place as usual. This will provide an opportunity to learn about successful concepts and real-world best practices and to take home inspiration for your own projects.
