April 2017: NRHA USA bestätigt Lyon als Austragungsort für
das European Derby
Die NRHA USA hat heute die Meldung von wittelsbuerger.com aus
dem März 2017 bestätigt, daß das NRHA European
Derby vom 1. - 5. November 2017 in Lyon/ Frankreich stattfindet.
Zuvor waren Sandra Quade (ReadySteadyShow, Germany), Manuel Bonzano
(23 Quarter Horses, Italy), Helmut Schulz (Westernstar HD Schulz,
Austria), Corinna Schumacher (CS Ranch, Switzerland) und Kader
Ikhllef (Parc Equestre Francilien, France) im Gespräch, nachdem
die NRHA Germany die Organisation in Kreuthkurzfristig abgesagt
hatte (mehr
dazu hier).
Damit findet kein ein großes NRHA European Event in Deutschland
statt, anders wie ursprünglich geplant ("eines
der beiden höchstdotierten Reining-Veranstaltungen Europas
in Deutschland halten", mehr dazu hier). Die NRHA European
Futurity wird in den kommenden fünf Jahren im italienischen
Cremona stattfinden, zusammen mit den NRHA European Affiliate
Championships 2018 und 2019.
Interessant dabei ist, daß der Italian Reining Horse Association
(ItRHA) damit ein mehrjähriger Kontrakt seitens der NRHA
USA eingeräumt wird. Diese "mehrjährige Vertragslaufzeit
für die Ausrichtung" war von der NRHA Germany immer
als Voraussetzung für die Asrichtung des Derbys genannt worden.
Equita Lyon, one of Europe’s premier events in the
equestrian world, is host to the 2017 edition of the NRHA European
Derby on November 1-5
Oklahoma City, April
19 – Following NRHA Germany’s decision not to host
the 2017 edition of the NRHA European Derby in Kreuth, Germany
on July 23-30, the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Executive
Committee, alongside the NRHA European Affiliate Council Executive
Board, has worked endless hours in order to best accommodate our
European members, owners and riders.
After considering the
generous availability to host and manage the event by Sandra Quade
(ReadySteadyShow, Germany), Manuel Bonzano (23 Quarter Horses,
Italy), Helmut Schulz (Westernstar HD Schulz, Austria), Corinna
Schumacher (CS Ranch, Switzerland) and Kader Ikhllef (Parc Equestre
Francilien, France) – who our heartfelt thank you goes to
– the NRHA European Council Executive Board put forth a
recommendation to the NRHA Executive Committee to move forward
with Equita Lyon being the hosting venue. The latter was approved
and, moving forward, details will be posted on the NRHA.com website.
“On behalf of
Sylvie Robert, director of equestrian events for GL events and
president of Equita – and myself – I would like you
all to know that we are very happy to organize this beautiful
event in cooperation with NRHA,” said Cristine Rigollet
of GL events Exhibitions.
“I am excited
about hosting the European Derby within Equita Lyon,” added
NRHA President, Mike Deer. “It’s an exciting new venue
and an opportunity for NRHA in Europe to expand and have an increased
presence to a new audience. I’m glad it worked out for the
show to be held in such a great venue and would personally like
to thank all those that volunteered to host the event prior to
the final decision being made.”
First held in 1995,
Equita Lyon has become one of the most prestigious events in the
equestrian world for both professionals and amateurs and provides
over 100 hours of TV coverage worldwide. All levels of riding
competitions are represented, from World Cup to club-level. The
show attracts over 150,000 visitors and the Euroexpo trade-show
boasts vendor space exceeding 130,000m².

yearly. Digital strategy is developed around this web site, as
well as on social media, and over 20 newsletters are sent annually.
Update on the NRHA
European Futurity and NRHA European Affiliate Championships:
The 2017 edition of
the NRHA European Futurity was held in Cremona, Italy. This was
the first year at this facility and proved to be very successful.
The NRHA European Council met in Cremona and approved an additional
5-year contract between the Italian Reining Horse Association
(ItRHA), who will manage the event, and CremonaFiere, the host
venue for the European Futurity. During the meeting, the Council
also approved the proposal that the NRHA European Affiliate Championships
be held in conjunction with the European Futurity in 2018 and
2019.
