New hygiene concept in the Krefeld horse sports center: safe for animals!

The concerns about the spread of the horse height have led to strict security measures in the horse sports center in Krefeld. On April 10, 2025, it became known that disinfection chains were set up in the center to protect the health of the horses. Visitors are now obliged to disinfect their hands and shoes and appear in freshly washed clothing in order to minimize the risk of infection. These measures are part of a comprehensive protection concept that also prescribes the use of own cleaning brushes for every horse.

The operator of the horse sports center, Birgitte Dreßen, commented on the economic consequences of these strict regulations. Customers could turn their backs on the center, she says, while at the same time emphasizing the need for the measures to ensure the safety of the animals. The health risks required quick and determined actions.

additional restrictions

For people who spend on a holiday farm during school -free time, special rules apply. They are excluded from riding lessons for 14 days. External participants must not take part in the riding badge courses that are only reserved for internal participants. Riding were also temporarily canceled, which significantly limits the offer in the horse port center.

The RA examination in the horse port center was successfully held on April 5, 2025. The event was directed by the judges Mr. Scheidt and Mr. Jahn, whereby the thanks for the successful implementation also gave the helpers and parents who supported the event. This examination represents an important part of the training offer and underlines the commitment of the center for the promotion of horse sports.

contact and office hours

The horse sports center recommends using a contact form if you have inquiries to ensure prompt processing. Personal visits are possible during office hours, which are set from Tuesday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Ms. Sandra Samtleben is the contact person in the office. For telephone concerns, the center can be reached at 02154/8959275 or mobile at 01754127704.

The upcoming events, such as the tournament advertisement for the WBO on 26-27. October 2024, are subject to the current security requirements that will continue to influence planning. The situation remains tense, while those responsible do everything they can to protect the health of the horses and the rider, such as RP-Online reported.
