Voices on the spoga horse TOP INNOVATIONS

"Innovations in our industry are the basis for an ever better coexistence between horse and rider. It makes living together with our horses easier. Our horses live longer and healthier lives when we expand our know-how and translate it into products and applications. Great innovations that focus on the welfare of horses are an important sign of respect towards these magnificent animals."
- Arnd Wiegler, Managing Director of Equiva

"Innovations make everyday life easier and promote further development. In my view, they can also be a special feature or a new service and do not necessarily have to be implemented in the form of a product. At Fundis Reitsport GmbH, we also want to be pioneers and are constantly optimizing our online store and our product range. As part of this jury, I am looking forward to evaluating new and good ideas that advance the equestrian world online and offline."
- Stefan Fundis, founder and managing director of Fundis Reitsport GmbH
