Riesenbeck, the home-base of Barcelona 1992 Olympic individual champion Ludger Beerbaum, has been named as host of the European Jumping Championships with competition scheduled for between August 30 and September 4.

Hagen has been named as host of the 2021 European Dressage Championships, between September 7 and 12.

Both locations were chosen by the FEI Board with final confirmation needed from local organisers.

It was agreed that if either venue is unable to host the bid process will not be re-opened, in light of the coronavirus pandemic that has pushed the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games into next year.

The FEI had previously ruled that no European Championships in Olympic and Paralympic disciplines should be held in 2021, but were persuaded to change their stance by the European Equestrian Federation (EEF) and a number of national bodies.

There will be no European Eventing Championships next year, however, as the only hosts to express interest later withdrew from the process.

The European Para Dressage Championships will also not take place to allow riders to focus on Tokyo 2020.

Next year's Olympics are now scheduled to be held from July 23 to August 8, followed by the Paralympics from August 24 to September 5.

"We are very happy to have great venues at Riesenbeck and Hagen available to host the European Championships in jumping and dressage next year and we look forward to receiving the final confirmation from the two organisers for these Championships to go ahead," said FEI President Ingmar De Vos.

"These Championships have really been a great example of the FEI, EEF, the German National Federation, the two organisers and everyone else involved working together to accommodate the wishes of the European National Federations and the athletes' community to have these Championships next year. 

"I am particularly grateful for the valuable work done by the FEI Technical Committees and calendar task forces."
