Unique Setting at Castle Achleiten

For decades the CDI Achleiten has been a premier destination for international dressage sport. Set in alpine surroundings with the historic castle in the backdrop, the event offers outstanding competition conditions, world-class footing and facilities, and exceptional hospitality.

Achleiten is located with cities Linz, Salzburg, and Munich in its radius and offers an amazing retreat and destination to combine top sport with lifestyle. 

The Max-Theurer family is known for setting high standards of welfare and well-being for all horses and will ensure competitors have a memorable experience at this 3* CDI.

In addition the show offers the opportunity for young horses to have their first exposure in an international arena in a quiet, low-pressure setting as CDI-YH classes will be held for 5-, 6-, and 7-year olds.

Riders will get the opportunity to compete in front of an experienced panel of judges including 5* judges Thomas Lang (AUT), Mariette Sanders-van Gansewinkel (NED), Christof Umbach (LUX), Evi Eisenhardt (GER), Clive Halsall (GBR). The ground jury is completed by Portuguese 3* judge Miguel Goncalves.
