Trails designed for winners
There are not many European events, that reflect such a top level of sport and horses in all the AQHA disciplines, not only reining and cutting classes. The level of Pleasure, Hunter and Trail classes is almost legendary. And the classes are big, like the Senior Trail with 40 horses. The trail patterns of the European Championship are designed by Ann Dennis (U.S.A.) this year, Ann has designed trails for top U.S. events like the Palomino World Show for 15 years now. Last year, she became Pacific Coast QHA Traildesigner of the Year. Ann Dennis is in Kreuth herself and will take care of the paid warm up that are offered every day in the evening. Entries for paid warms ups are possible at the show office in Kreuth, starting on Friday. Trailpatterns are already available at www.ecqh.eu.
First Week-end starts with Halter and Cattle Shows
The first week-end is dedicated to the halter and cattle shows. Especially the cowhorse shows should be great to watch as there are several renowned competitors like multiple European Champion Philipp-Martin Haug.
