When I first envisioned the Danube Champions Tour, I dreamt of creating more than just a series of competitions. I dreamt of building a community where passion for equestrian sport flourishes, where dreams are nurtured, and where every rider and horse, from seasoned champions to young talents, finds a place to shine.

Since our inception in 2021, Riders & Dreams has been committed to excellence and innovation. It is our unwavering dedication that has transformed this dream into a reality, growing with each passing season and attracting the best from around the globe to our prestigious events. Each show is not merely a competition but a celebration of the bond between rider and horse, a testament to their hard work, resilience, and unwavering spirit.

Our journey has been nothing short of remarkable. The X-Bionic Sphere, with its state-of-the-art facilities and breathtaking surroundings, has become synonymous with world-class equestrian events. It is a venue that not only meets but exceeds the highest standards, providing the perfect backdrop for our ambitious vision.

Looking ahead to 2025, I am thrilled and deeply honored that we will be hosting the FEI Dressage European Championships for Seniors. This opportunity is a profound recognition of our dedication and a chance to showcase the pinnacle of dressage excellence. It is a testament to the tireless efforts of our team, the trust of our participants, and the unwavering support of our community.

I invite you all to join us in this extraordinary journey. Whether you are a rider, a supporter, or an enthusiast, your presence and passion fuel our mission. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of equestrian sport.

With heartfelt gratitude and excitement for the future,
