Erwitte, 30 April 2026 – Schäffer Maschinenfabrik is strengthening its position in the equestrian and agriculture sector by launching a strategic partnership with the world’s most successful dressage rider and entrepreneur, Isabell Werth. The partnership aims to demonstrate the performance and versatility of modern loaders and telescopic wheel loaders in real-life conditions.
Isabell Werth operates her own training and competition stables, which specialise in training dressage horses to compete at the highest level. She is currently expanding her facility by investing in modern office units, an EU-approved stud farm, as well as increased stable and training capacities for breeding horses and sport horses. The stables, which were originally her parents’ farm, are undergoing strategic development and offer ideal conditions for the highly professional equestrian sport.
For several years, a Schäffer loader 2028 has supported everyday operations at the facility, particularly the management of animal feed and bedding material as well as transport duties around the stud, and has proven itself to be a reliable, compact and economical solution. A visit to the company facility in Erwitte allowed Isabell Werth and her son Frederik to discover the high quality and comprehensive vertical range of manufacture of the Schäffer loaders for themselves. During personal discussions, both family-owned companies very quickly reached an agreement regarding a long-term partnership.
As part of the partnership, her fleet of machines will now expand to include a telescopic wheel loader 4670 T equipped with numerous attachments. The machine will be used in particular in the new parts of the business currently under construction. Here, the telescopic wheel loader’s lifting height, reach and versatility, in particular, will help optimise work processes, such as handling forage crops and bedding material, carrying out logistical tasks around the stables and facility and maintaining the grounds.
“I firmly believe that the Schäffer telescopic wheel loader 4670 T is an important machine that will make a valuable contribution to the successful implementation of our new breeding concept”, says Isabell Werth. “Our Schäffer loader 2028 is in daily use and has proven itself to be exceptionally reliable and versatile.”
“We are delighted that Isabell Werth will be using the machines in everyday operations and documenting their application in real-life scenarios as a brand ambassador as part of our partnership”, adds Schäffer Managing Director, Rüdiger Schäffer. “The partnership allows us to highlight practical application scenarios from a professionally run equestrian business and give users specific guidance in their investment decisions.”
Isabell Werth and Rüdiger Schäffer celebrate the launch of their partnership with the handover of the telescopic wheel loader 4670 T. Also in attendance were the stable dogs, who are very much part of everyday life on the stud, along with the new machine.
