Upcoming Trade Shows Wels, Austria for Animals & Pets
Pferd Wels 2025, Wels, Austria
29 May - 1 Jun 2025
When it comes to animal husbandry in Wels, there’s one entity to keep in mind – Pferd Wels. It’s the prized trade fair for horses and riding. For over thirty years, this pinnacle event in the Austrian equestrian calendar draws national and international exhibitors, breeders, trainers, experts and fans to Wels in celebration of horse breeds, health, and equestrian products. Austria has long abandoned horse breeding for the needs of farming, instead considering horses as pets and sports animals.
Pferd Wels showcases riding clothes, saddles, nutritional items and even accessories for dogs as the pet industry in Wels has received a massive boom. The trade fair is known for its horse shows, the national show jumping competition, training sessions and equestrian sports demonstrations. Pferd Wels serves as an educational platform, offering insights into horse care, breeding, riding techniques and various aspects of equestrian sports.
The National Show Jumping Tournament CSN-A is a highlight of the fair, which brings in the big bulk of visitors, who want to see impressive sportsmanship. The tournament, designed by Franz Madl and his team, ensures the smooth running of the competition, guaranteeing top-level sports at the highest level. Another major sporting event is the vaulting showcase, which is also one of the most impressive and difficult of equestrian sports as it requires perfect coordination between rider and horse. Saturdays are typically reserved for Austrian vaulters to demonstrate their skills in a series of individual and group vaulting competitions from classes A to M.
In 2023, Pferd Wels opened its doors for young show jumpers and dressage horses for the first time in its history. At the AWÖ Horses of the Future, Austrian breeders, who have made a mark in the industry, presented a collection of noble young horses – all available for purchase.
