“The many happy faces confirm: People want to meet and share special experiences like the PARTNER HORSE. Our silver anniversary has provided an ideal setting for this. With our varied offer, we were able to offer visitors a great variety again this year,” sums up Martin Buhl-Wagner, Managing Director of the Leipziger Messe. This is also confirmed by the high number of satisfied exhibitors – 97 percent of them have achieved their goals for PARTNER HORSES.
Trade fair offers in high demand
Whether halters, linings, bridles, crops or helmets – the PARTNER HORSE left nothing to be desired for equestrian enthusiasts, which underlined packed bags and bags. Almost 90 percent of all visitors came to the fair to buy something in the exhibition – in addition to the sporting highlights, shopping was the main motivation for visiting the PARTNER HORSE. The approximately 230 exhibitors from all trade fair halls 1 and 3 at home and abroad were also able to confirm this satisfactorily. “We were able to write orders directly at the stand and also expect an excellent post-messe business. In short: Leipzig is a traditional meeting place for equestrian sports and a must once a year. The re-participation next year is definitely set,” said Stephan Schulz from Böckmann Fahrzeugwerke GmbH.
