Hanover. As the name "Passion Horse" suggests, the horse fair in the capital of Lower Saxony is all about emotions for horse lovers. PASSION PFERD is more than just a trade fair about horses. Professionals and horse enthusiasts alike will find a showcase for the market, a festival, and a professional conference, as well as a family event and a source of inspiration. This trade fair offers everything for horses and their owners: state-of-the-art equipment, stable technology, transporters, riding apparel, and accessories – but what makes the event so unique is its multifaceted show and entertainment program. Here, international stars of the scene, up-and-coming talents, and experts come together. Visitors are encouraged to marvel, laugh, discuss, and dream.
