Climate Change in Equestrian Sports
With a Master's degree in Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability (M.Sc.) with a focus on sustainability and climate change, as well as experience in the use of digital technologies in a scientific context, I bring in-depth, interdisciplinary knowledge. As an expert at the interface of climate science, innovation, and equestrian sports, I combine academic expertise with my many years of experience in equestrian sports.
As a climate resilience consultant in equestrian sports, I support companies, riders, trainers, and event organizers in preparing for the consequences of climate change in a timely manner. Together, we develop strategic solutions and sustainable concepts that protect horses, people, and the entire sport in the long term and make it fit for the future.
01
Climate change affects equestrian sports on many levels. Extreme weather events such as heat, heavy rain, and storms endanger horse husbandry, training, infrastructure, and events. At the same time, new health risks arise that impair the performance of horses and humans.
Resources such as feed, water, and energy are also becoming scarcer, while quality assurance in feeding and procurement is becoming increasingly important. Farms are facing rising costs and regulatory pressure, while sponsors and society are placing higher expectations on animal welfare, transparency, and sustainability. Tournaments and events, in particular, must adapt, from heat-related plans to green event standards.
The future viability of the industry lies in adaptation and innovation: only with strategic concepts, new technologies and climate-resilient routines can equestrian sport be protected and further developed in the long term.

Target group & Benefits
My services are aimed at everyone involved in equestrian sports, from riders, trainers, and grooms to breeders, veterinarians, farriers, and facility managers, as well as owners, sponsors, facility operators, and tournament organizers. They all face the same challenge of making equestrian sports healthy, safe, and sustainable.
The benefit lies in a holistic approach. Through proactive action and early risk analyses, health risks for horses and humans can be minimized, working and training conditions made safer, and long-term performance maintained. At the same time, financial risks, rising operating costs, and regulatory pressure can be managed through clear strategies and efficient planning.
New technologies, up-to-date knowledge, and consciously adapted routines open up opportunities to strategically build climate resilience in equestrian sports. This way, companies, events, and individuals benefit equally through increased safety, stability, and future prospects for horses, people, and the sport as a whole.

Offering
I support companies, riders, event organizers, and all stakeholders in equestrian sports with a holistic consulting approach. My focus is on risk analyses to identify climate impacts early on, as well as emissions and climate impact assessments that provide a sound basis for decision-making. Building on this, I develop strategic concepts and action plans that make companies and events climate-resilient and future-proof.
Through workshops and training courses, I impart practical knowledge and help teams consciously implement new routines, technologies, and behaviors. This not only creates sustainable structures but also provides concrete scope for action to regulate costs, minimize risks, and secure equestrian sport in the long term.
Shaping the future of equestrian sport with resilience and sustainability.
