By next summer, a modern indoor riding arena with grandstands should be ready for use by the Moritzburg State Stud. This includes jumping, riding and warm-up halls for training and further education as well as a new feed storage facility, as announced by the Ministry of Finance at the topping out ceremony on Thursday.
The Free State is investing 24 million euros in the project. This sends a clear signal for the future of the historic state, said Finance Minister Hartmut Vorjohann (CDU). The hall, built according to international standards, provides the best conditions for horses and people with 800 large seats.
According to the ministry, the hall will be built in sustainable and environmentally friendly wood hybrid construction. A photovoltaic system on the roof will provide environmentally friendly solar energy for the future stud farm. The hall will also be equipped with a so-called sand and flow system, which can be used to remove or add moisture to the sand – for the best riding surfaces.
According to the ministry, the state has invested nearly 30 million euros in the renovation of the stud farm since 1991, including the hall, which included a parade ground with covered stands and mobile for major events.
Horse breeding in Moritzburg stables goes back to the decision of Saxon King Anton the Good in 1828. Since then, heavy warm blood have been bred, but also riding horses.
Nationalized in 1952, breeding has been under the control of the Saxon Horse Breeding Association since 1990. The Moritzburgers are famous throughout the country for their parades. The show, which has been held since 1924, where horses and riders put on dressage and team shows, attracts tens of thousands of visitors from Germany and abroad every year.
