I Joined Germany’s 100-Year Stallion Parade!

A century of tradition. Thousands of spectators. One extraordinary invitation! I joined the 100th anniversary of the Marbach Stallion Parade (Hengstparade) at Germany’s oldest state stud, a place my Quest to ride every horse breed brought me a few years ago. Marbach’s history goes back more than 500 years. In this special film, join me as I participate in the parade, see hundreds of horses perform, including the Black Forest horses and the Silver Herd of Arabian mares, and join me for a ride on a rare Altwürttemberger! 🏆 Official Selection — 2026 Equus Film Festival!
