NRHA EUROPEAN FUTURITY SLATED
FOR MARCH IN GERMANY:
December 24, 2008 – Thanks to the support of the European community and generous sponsors from North America and abroad, the 2009 National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) European Futurity will be held March 23-29 in Kreuth, Germany. Earlier this year it was announced that the 2009 NRHA European Futurity was postponed due to complications with the original facility. However; after many meetings, hard work and sponsorship commitments, a new location has been secured. Up-to-date conditions, entry details and facility information for the inaugural event will be available soon at www.nrha.com.
The NRHA European Futurity will be "Open to the World" and will showcase four-year-old Reining horses and riders competing for close to three hundred thousand dollars in prize money. Riders can show their three-year-olds in other futurities, and then they can compete in the NRHA European Futurity in early spring of the following year when they are four year olds. It will host a full slate of Open and Non Pro competition, be NRHA-approved and run under NRHA rules.
"Thanks to many generous Reining supporters, the first-ever NRHA European Futurity will now become a reality in 2009. This is an amazing step for Reining's expansion across the globe and we are excited to provide a world-class competition for exhibitors and spectators," said Dan Wall NRHA Executive Director.
