Eleven countries were represented at the 2009 National Reining Horse Association European Affiliate Championship (EAC) held in the beautiful Bokeberg Arena, just outside Malmo, in Sweden. The countries represented include: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Norway, Poland, Sweden and The Netherlands.
The very first edition of the event was held in Egna Ora, Italy, seven years ago with 62 qualifiers in the Championships and 104 entries in the ancillary SWRHA Summer Slide NRHA-approved classes. This year, 220 qualifiers were recorded in EAC classes and more than 500 entries were seen in ancillary classes! If that were not enough, for the very first time, Finland took part in the Championships making the sport of Reining all the more global.
“I’m really happy with the way things went this year,” said the organizer of the event, Monica Widh. “We had to reschedule the program due to the high number of entries, yet everything went really smoothly. I would like to thank all those involved – they’re the ones that made this possible”.
