The NRHA European Affiliate Championship (EAC) competition ran July 11 – 13 in Bökeberg, Svedala, Sweden. Host affiliate, the Swedish RHA, worked diligently to get everything in place to ensure a seamless production. The event welcomed qualified riders from 14 countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland.

In addition, the Summer Slide Show that ran consecutively, featured a full slate of NRHA ancillary classes featuring a $15,000 added Open and a $7,500 added Non Pro. So, whether competitors qualified for the Championship or were looking for an NRHA-approved show with substantial payouts, there was a place for everyone to play.

NRHA Corporate Partners wholeheartedly supported this competition. Champions were awarded a package that included saddles from Pard’s Western Shop; handmade Rios of Mercedes/Anderson Bean Boots, and Classic Equine products. The champions will be the envy of many with a variety of NRHA trophies such as Lawson and Morrison bronze trophies, pewter trophies and plaques.
