All Nations Cup

Tomorrow in Aachen the first European Title show of the season will take place – the 33rd All Nations Cup. The catalogue lists 35 horses from Poland – 12 from private studs and 23 from the state studs. There is a large group of breeders and enthusiasts of the Polish horse heading to Germany, so we are counting on a huge applause for our competitors.

The event will begin tomorrow with the German National Show (September 25-26th, with Marek Trela, Poland in the jury panel) and the international competitions will begin in the afternoon with the classes of the 2 and 3 year olds. Concurrent to the classes on the weekend there will also be an All Nations Cup in dressage and show jumping. Sunday will end with the championships and the awarding of two prestigious challenge trophies – the Nations Cup and the Breeders Cup, in which our country and our horses are favorites each year. For the first time also the best geldings will be awarded and – similarly to previous years – foals from last year’s breedings (Futurity, not affiliated with ECAHO).

An interesting new feature initiated by the owners of Albaydaa Stud from Egypt will be the Jackpot, with a purse of 14,000 Euro. Registered users (both those at the show and online, registered by their passport number) will be able to vote in two competitions: to select this year’s medalists of the seven consecutive All Nations Cup championships and their favorite judges. Those that correctly select the champions will divide among themselves 2,000 Euro per championship. The results of the public’s voting will not have an influence on the judges’ decision and will be published after the end of judging. Also right after the end of the show a list of 9 favorite judges will be announced, selected through the votes of registered users. This will be treated as a suggestion for organizers when putting together a jury panel in the future. This way the Organizing Committee wants to make the Aachen show even more attractive for the public, allowing them to take active part in planning the show in the upcoming years.

The registration of users and more information about the show, as well as the live broadcast available from Friday can be found on the organizer’s website: http://www.all-nations-cup.org/
