Introduction |
After a two year break, Switzerland finally had its Nationals again! Showing is actually not very popular in Switzerland and the few (but successful!) people who are regulary showing their horses visit the shows in our neighbour-countries! By the way, the population of registered Purebred Arabians is actually about 1700, and we have about 500 registered Partbred and Anglo Arabians and 300 Shagya Arabians in Switzerland. The Swiss Nationals (ECAHO-C Show) were held on september 5./6. 1998 in Dielsdorf near Zürich. The horses were judged with the 20-point systeme by the international judges Mrs Teresa de Bourbon Marquesa de Laula, Spain; Mrs Isabella Pawelec - Zawadzka, Poland; and Mr Tamas Rombauer, Hungary. The number of participants was not very high, only about 80 horses, but among them were the best Arabians we actually have in Switzerland, and this fact alone was worth the journey! Besides I had lots of fun at this show, I met dear friends and I was very pleased about the judges decisions! It was also very interesting that the riding classes had more participants per class than the show classes! All in all this show was a *Russian Affair* with a
very strong representation of Balaton's blood, by
himself as a sire and through his grand-son Kapitol (Kubinec x Nostalgia).
