The badge had an oval oakleaf wreath, and within the wreath was a mounted horseman astride a prancing horse with a Roman "R" letter in a circle at the base of the wreath.
Each of the classes may have been awarded:
- on the basis of special achievements.
- on the basis of tournament events.
- on the basis of racing events.

Also from the National Association for Breeding and Animal Inspection and Control was the German Horse Driver's Badge (Шаблон:Lang-de), which was presented for professional horse race competitions and authorized in May 1930. The badge was of the same design as the German Horseman's Badge, with the exception of the mounted horseman being replaced by a chariot driver being pulled by two horses. The badge was issued in three classes of Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The requirements were the same as for the Horseman's Badge, except for the "trotting race", replacing the racing event.
