Federal Four Fighting

The German four-fighters' price (Bundesvierkampf), which takes place annually in April at different venues in the Federal Republic of Germany, is a prize for junior four-fighters up to and including 18 years of age. In the years below it went out as follows. It is aimed at A-level.

In the national four-way fight, the team in the riding disciplines only compete with two horses. For this purpose, two horses from other teams will be drawn. The previously selected foreign rider must adjust to the other horse within approx. Five minutes and then introduce it to the respective riding disciplines (dressage / jumping). This is to determine how the participants get along with strange horses right away.

In the federal junior fourfight, which is carried out together for the federal fourfighting, everyone competes with his horse in dressage and jumping. Participants are admitted who will not be older than 14 years in the current year. This competition takes place at the E level.

Various state associations conduct a state inspection in advance. The participants are then prepared by the respective national trainers.
