Euro Paint with record number of entries

Euro Paint with record number of entries

Euro Paint 2022 is establishing itself as the largest paint show outside the USA. The already good numbers of Euro Paint 2019 were topped again this year – with 1587 APHA, 33 Walk-Trot as well as 66 Futurity/Maturity starts and a total of 447 horse-rider combinations, the 22nd APHA European Paint Horse Championships was a complete success for the European Paint Horse scene. The incomparable atmosphere of the Euro Paint, with the highlights Youth World Games, Nations Cup, Futurity/Maturity and the popular Paint People Party creates a show that is more and more appreciated by breeders, riders, owners. The international guests, Melanie Cox-Dayhuff (APHA President, Board of Directors), Dr. Billy Smith, APHA Executive Director and many more enjoyed their time at Euro Paint very much and praised the professional environment and the quality of horses and exhibitors at Euro Paint.

Our thanks go to the main sponsor of the event Atcom (www.atcomhorse.de) and to all the numerous sponsors, without whom such a big event would not be imaginable!
A special thanks goes to the owners who made their horses available for the Youth World Games. Without you the show would not have been possible!

Thank you to the entire Euro Paint team – judges, scribes, show office, doormen, arena, catering and award girls! You made the show very special!
