The spirit of the Kaiserzeit Era cavalry still lives on today at Boxberg- for the past three years, the Deutsche Kavallerieverband e.V. has sponsored a cavalry competition at Boxberg drawing competitors from as far away as the United States. The competition consists of a series of individual and group events that test one's ability to function as cavalry. From the looks of the tests, they appear to be pretty rigorous and would definitely be a challenge to almost any rider. People represent a particular cavalry regiment and as you can see form the pictures below, it can be quite a mixed bag.

| As you can see here, there's a mix of uniforms ranging from Prussian Dragoons, Kuirassiers, and Uhlans to Bavarian Uhlans. Unfortunately, there are no Chevaulegers. |
