Equestrianism has a high value in Aachen. The CHIO Aachen, also called the World Equestrian Festival, brings international equestrian athletes to Aachen every year. The HSZ also has its own annual equestrian event, the Concours Hippique Universitaire (CHU). So the HSZ and the student equestrian group Aachen are well prepared to host the DHM.

The DHM will take place in the Albert-Vahle-Hall on the grounds of the CHIO. There, the participating teams and individual competitors will compete against each other in the dressage arena on the first day, October 21. On October 22, the show jumpers will demonstrate their skills in a challenging obstacle course. Then on Sunday, October 23, the final rounds will take place and the first German University Champions in three years will finally be allowed to climb the winner's podium.

Admission is free and all those interested in equestrian sports are sincerely invited to watch the DHM Reiten 2022 as spectators.
