NRHA European Futurity 2010

Press Pelease January 14, 2010


Tomorrow first deadline for NRHA European Futurity 2010!
Kreuth (Germany), March 7-13, 2010

Tomorrow (Friday, January 15) is the first entry deadline for the 2010 NRHA European Futurity. The mega reining event is scheduled for March 7 to 13, 2010 at the Kreuth facility in Germany. Until January 15, all 4-year-old reining horses can be entered for the $ 251,000 added NRHA European Futurity. Later entries are accepted as well but then a late fee is added (the amount of which depends on when the horse is entered).

Top class reiners of all levels are expected for this show. Intil the beginning of the event, we will present international reiners of various levels and the horses they will be riding at Kreuth. We start with NRHA World Champion Open Rudi Kronsteiner (Austria).

Kronsteiner facility with eight horses in the Futurity classes
Rudi Kronsteiner will take eight horses to Kreuth to start in the NRHA European Futurity classes. He himself will show three horses in Open Level 4, among them his 2009 NRHA Breeders Futurity Champion Spook A Little (by Smart Spook, owned by Tanja Mahnke). The other two are Hot Spicy Whiz (by Holly Golly Whiz) and Hesa Smokin Wimpy (by Wimpys Little Step).

Kronsteiner’s Co-Trainers Max Weisser and Lukas Brucek and will show one horse each in Level 1 and 2 Open. Then there will be Manuel Cortesi, Italy, who will ride three horses in the Non Pro Futurity. The young Italian who won team silver at the FEI European Reining Championship Young Riders, came to RK Performance Horses two weeks ago to train for the show.

Free Entry for Visitors!
The NRHA European Futurity starts with the first Go round on Sunday, March 7, the finals following on March 12 and 13. During the other days, there will be a number of other attractive NRHA classes. For visitors (10,000 watched the European Futurity in 2009), this show is a real festival of reining – especially as entry is free at all days.

Trainers and Breeders’ Point in the Festhalle
When top reining horses and trainers from all over the world meet for the 2010 NRHA European Futurity, this is also a perfect platform for marketing. For 2010, the show management of the NRHA European Futurity created a meeting point for breeders and trainers in the beautiful Festhalle Rieden which is right beside the Ostbayernhalle in Kreuth. Here trainers and breeders find the perfect surroundings to present themselves and their ranches. A 3 x 3 m booth including business card advertisement in the NRHA European Futurity booklet is only EUR 500 (plus VAT). Larger spaces are available as well.
