Iconic craftsmanship meets top-level international sport: For the first time this year, MEISSEN is the official sponsor of the Al Shira’aa Deutesches Spring- und Dressur-Derby in Hamburg 2026, one of the most traditional and demanding events on the international equestrian calendar.

Following its successful partnership with the International Festhallen Horse Show in Frankfurt, MEISSEN is once again setting an example for the union of athletic excellence and artistic mastery.

For many years, there has been a close connection with the Linsenhoff-Rath family and, consequently, with the tournament organizer Schafhof Connects. Together, they share a passion for equestrian sports and for creating special moments at the highest level, characterized by high standards, continuity, and perfection.

Four honorary trophies crafted from the finest porcelain in a deep, rich, radiant blue honor the outstanding achievements of the riders. The focus is on two elegant horse figurines: the “Arabian” and the legendary Grande horse.

They are awarded to the winners of the highest-level competitions and combine athletic excellence with the iconic aesthetics of Saxon porcelain art.

The following categories will be honored:

1st Place CSI4 Classic Tour Final (Arabian figure)

1st Place CDI5 Grand Prix Special (Arabian figure)

1st Place 95th German Jumping Derby (Grande figure)

1st Place CDI5 Grand Prix Freestyle (Grande figure)
