The Eventing Discipline Committee of the German Olympic Equestrian Committee has named its senior squads for 2025 as it looks ahead to the 2025 FEI European Championships at Blenheim as well as the next FEI World Championships on home turf at CHIO Aachen in 2026.
As German publication Buschreiter reports, two key names are off the list in 2018 World Champion Sandra Auffarth, who has expressed that she will be more heavily focusing on show jumping this year, as well as Paris Olympian Christoph Wahler with Carjatan S; Christoph has indicated he will be involved with youth coaching this year. It won’t be a year of solely coaching, though — Christoph is listed on the Performance-Oriented Development Squad with D’Accord FRH.
The Squads for 2025 are as follows:
