From October 7th to 9th, 2022, the German Championships 2022 in Tent Pegging took place in Krügersdorf, Brandenburg. All disciplines of the sport were ridden. Christian Dietzel took first place with 78.5 points, Steffen Kukral reached second place with 75.5 points and Katja Wilczek took third place with 64.5 points. The tournament served to determine the ranking of the German riders and thus the starting position for international competitions. While Christian Dietzel was able to defend his title as German Champion, the Oder Spree Tentpegger team managed to become German Champion in the team classification again, as they did in 2021.

From November 30 to December 7, 2021, an international friendly tournament in tent pegging was held in the Sultanate of Oman in the city of Duqm. Angela Breme, Christian Dietzel and Jenny Horvath started successfully for Germany. Trainer and manager was Steffen Kukral. There they met the teams from Iraq, Jordan, Canada, Kuwait, Malaysia, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, USA and United Arab Emirates.

During the 6th International Open German Cavalry Championship, the ranking of the German tent pegging riders was ascertained conclusively. Due to the pandemic this year only national teams participated from September 10 till 12 in Crawinkel. The Oder-Spree-Tentpegger (OST) did win the team classification. Tentpegging Germany (TPG) is home to the German Champion – rider Christian Dietzel.

Teams from the Netherlands, Germany and the European Tent Pegging Association competed in an international tournament in Muiderberg near Amsterdam.

German riders started for the German Tent Pegging Union (GTPU) or the European Tent Pegging Association (ETPA) and were very successful: Christian Dietzel (ETPA, rank 3), Jenny Horvath (GTPU, rank 4), Lea Frings (ETPA, 6), Kim Möbus (GTPU, 7), Frank Seidel (GTPU, 8) and Jason Drobek GTPU, 12).
