AMERICANA
06: Top Sport & Top Entertainment
AMERICANA
ofers a rich variety of show and entertainment – no wonder it’s
Europe’s number 1 western events. Nowhere elese in Europe you
can find that mixture of top sport and country flair at such a
level. Visiotos are especially looking forward to the evening
shows – their tickets should be booked well in advance. If there
are tickets for the evening shows left, you’ll get them at the
box office.
There
will be the „Run of the Stars. - Reining at its best!“ (Thursday,
September 7), the „Cow Horse Festival“ (September 8) and the
„Cutting Spectacular“ ( September 9), all shows starting at 8
p.m., lasting about three hours and presenting different show
programme each day.
Of
course, there will be an attractive show programme during the
day as well with competition starting at 8 a.m.
EUR 32,000.---Reining
It’s
hard to choose between the great variety of competitions. But
of course, there are a few very spezial highlights. Just think
of the EUR 32,000.-- added Reining NRHA Bronze Trophy Open. That
huge amount of prize money attracts more and more international
riders and also influences considerably the NRHA standings. The
date is also very special this year, as Americana directly follows
the World Equestrian Games, and WEG competitors will meet again
in Augsburg. Also they will compete against younger horses as
well, like Master Snappe“. The 4-year-old stallion recently won
the NRHA Derby giving a marvellous presentation. Kelly Zweifel,
who trained and showed him in the U.S., will show him in Augsburg
„poster star 2006 “ Markus Schoepfer
One
of the most spectacular classes is the Reined Cow Horse Futurity
which consists of three parts: Reining, Cutting and a Working
Cowhorse. The finals will be during the evening show on September
8. A favourite is Markus Schoepfer (ITA) who won this event last
year and is this year’s Americana poster star.
Spectacular Cutting at a high class Level
Cutting
has alwys been a very important part of Americana.). Und auch
hier ist wichtigste Entscheidung in einer Abendshow zu sehen,
wenn die Reiter am 9. September beim „Cutting Specacular“ zum
Finale in der offenen Klasse antreten.
EUR 5000,-- Trail
There
is a purse of EUR 5.000.-- added for the „Americana World Open
Trail all ages“ – which should be the largest purse so far for
a trail in Europe. Another class worth looking at is the Superhorse
which combines elements of four disciplines and is organized the
regional Bavarian part of the Erste Westernreiter Union Deutschland
(EWU).
Breedings of top sires for sale on auction
During
Americana, 20 breedings to famous sires will be sold on auction

the regular fee. The auction is scheduled for September 9, starting
