Horses at the European Team Cups 2011
Mar 28, 2011
As earlier announced the European Amateur Team Cup and the European Youth Team Cup will for the first time take place in parallel at the same time namely in Lier, Belgium July 16-17. 2011.
Our members have taken this very positively and there seem to be a big and increased interest in participating.
The fact that everything takes place at one venue has created a question from a couple of countries. The question is as follows: Can one horse be used both by a country's youth team as well as the amateur team during the same weekend?
The answer to that is a clear no. FEQHA and AQHA have agreed that due to a mutual wish of securing horse welfare a horse can only be used by one team during the entire event. Team horses must already participate in at least 3 disciplines and some horses will participate in 5-6 disciplines during the team cup and added to that many will also participate in 1 or more disciplines at the FEQHA International Challenge on Friday 15.
We are very much looking forward to giving all participating horses the best opportunities to show the best of their capabilities and this will be done by letting them be concentrated on one team per horse.
