It formed part of the 2013 FEI ECCO European Championships; other disciplines included were Showjumping and Para-Dressage. Germany, the historically dominant nation in European and World dressage, regained its European team title, which it had lost to Great Britain in 2011. The Netherlands edged out the British team, for whom Olympic team champion Laura Tomlinson was a late withdrawal, for the silver team medal. The individual competitions were dominated by the British double Olympic champion Charlotte Dujardin, riding Valegro, winning her first European titles and edging out 2011 double individual champion Adelinde Cornelissen. Dujardin set a new Championship record in the Individual Freestyle or Kr with the second highest score ever recorded in the discipline. The 2013 event was the 26th edition of the European Dressage Championships. Parallel to the senior European Championships, a Youth Horse Show for riders up to 25 years of age was also held.
