NRHA EUROPEAN FUTURITY UPDATE (02.03.2010 by Christa Morris)
14 Nations Competing at the 2010 NRHA European Futurity & NRHA Show
Free Admission for Visitors – NRHA Offers Free Livestream
The 2010 National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) European Futurity & NRHA Show will kick off in just a few days. Europe’s top Reining show is scheduled for March 7-13, 2010 at the Kreuth facility in Germany. Tough riders and horses from 14 nations will compete for a total purse in excess of $281,000 – for more added money than any other NRHA show held outside of the U.S.A.
The NRHA European Futurity promises to bring top-notch trainers and non pros from all over the world riding the finest four-year-old reining horses. 14 countries will battle for bragging rights in Kreuth, not only to have champions hailing from their country, but also to say those champions were bred in their homeland. In 2009, both the NRHA European Open Level 4 Champion and Level 4 Non Pro Champion were bred in Europe: Sail On Top Whizard by The Netherland’s Monray Quarter Horses and Level 4 Non Pro Champion RS Linkwood Jac by Italy’s Claudio Risso and Roberta’s Stable. Both nations look for the repeat in 2010.
Visitors can look forward to FREE ADMISSION to all seven days of exciting and fascinating Reining action from the Open and Non Pro Futurity to ancillary classes. More than 4,500 visitors watched the finals last year, and visitors are encouraged to come early to get a prime seat in Ostbayernhalle. Below is a list of highlights of interest for spectators.
March 7 and 8 – NRHA European Futurity Open and Non Pro go rounds
