Kreuth, Germany – February 4, 2009 – The first-ever NRHA European Futurity & NRHA Show are making history with more than 30 sponsors pledging their support to the inaugural show scheduled for March 23-29 in Kreuth, Germany. Since the event found its home in Germany, event organizers have acquired a long list of sponsors to provide both monetary support and attractive prizes for exhibitors.
The international explosion in the number of approved shows and members set the stage for the addition of this historic event. The NRHA European Futurity & NRHA Show will help to further expand Reining with all levels of reiners in Europe as the show not only hosts the futurity competition, but also hosts a full state of ancillary classes. This event is possible thanks to generous sponsors from the United States, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Netherlands and Germany. This unique show gives the sport of Reining the opportunity to be showcased in front of audiences who may have never seen Reining in person.
Thanks again to all the sponsors and donors for making this great event possible.
