Today there was the first Nations Cup during the European Championship of American Quarter Horses. It proved to be a superb idea of the showmanagement and the FEQHA: the audience cheered their favourite nations and competitors. “Even working here (as a ringsteward) was a wonderful thing,“ said CZQHA president Jitka Kynclova enthusiastically.
Seven nations had chosen their teams ‚out of the spur of the moment’ at Kreuth: Austria, Germany, Switzerlang, Great Britain, France, Belgium and Italy. And each team had to compete in four disciplines: Trail, Reining, Western Pleasure and Western Horsemanship. In the end the winner was Germany scoring a total of 41 points. Their Imagimotion and Alexandra Jagfeld won the Trail and Whenyourhotyourhot and Maike Schauch won the Pleasure. In Horsemanship they tied with Italy which received the silver medal (33 points) and in Reining with Belgium that scored 25 points altogether. The bronze medal was won by Austria.
„We would not have believed that the competitors would like our idea that much,“ said Showmanager Rainer Maierhofer. „It’s fun that counts here, not competition as itself.“
Still we saw remarkable rides. And the nations reacted very enthusiastically, organizing flags from nowhere and realizing ideas of their own.
