New Date for the 2026 Oldenburg Stallion Licensing

Breeding

Oldenburg

The Oldenburg Horse Breeding Association is rescheduling its licensing event. Originally planned for November 12–14, 2026, the event will now take place in Vechta from November 23–25, 2026.

This rescheduling creates a more compact sequence of licensing events in northern Germany. This makes travel planning easier, particularly for international clients and guests, and offers them the opportunity to attend several major licensing and breeding events within a few days.

In addition, the stallions will have extra time between the preliminary selection and the licensing to continue developing and be optimally prepared for the licensing. In doing so, the Oldenburg Horse Breeding Association is consciously ensuring that the licensing season is planned in a way that is as horse-friendly as possible.

For many years, the Oldenburg licensing has been a major gathering place for breeders, athletes, and horse enthusiasts from Germany and abroad, bringing the international horse breeding world together in Vechta.

The program for the Oldenburg Stallion Days also promises three varied and high-caliber days at the Oldenburg Horse Center in Vechta.
