Since the last edition, the skill sets and standards among riders, drivers and horses alike have increased remarkably, and the judges were noticeably impressed. And on-site, it was up to Coordinator-In-Chief Roland Morat to ensure that everything ran smoothly and on schedule, while Walter Oberhofer, with the assistance of Luca Marini, provided a cheerful commentary as Master of Ceremonies.Īll in all, it was a major celebration for the Haflinger community around the world – finally an opportunity to meet again, exchange ideas, compete and put on the grand stage the one thing that unites us: our great passion for the Haflinger breed.
In the run-up to the tournament, WHBSF President Lukas Scheiber and Secretary Michael Gruber, too, had put in a great deal of preparation. A tried-and-tested venue: Not least thanks to its top-level logistics and a well-rehearsed team with Johannes Mayrhofer at the helm, the organisational processes ran seamlessly throughout the entire event. This year’s edition was the seventh European Haflinger Championship, and it was the fourth time the tournament took place at the Stadl-Paura Equestrian Centre in Austria.
– With the 2021 European Haflinger Championship all wrapped up, we’re now left with countless unforgettable impressions and emotions: From the Parade of the Nations all the way to the closing ceremony, those four intense tournament days are sure to accompany both our participants and the audience for quite some time to come.Ī total of 24 Championship titles have successfully been awarded, and to say it with the words of WHBSF President Lukas Scheiber, the key is to bring breeding and sports together: “The breeders are immensely proud of the equestrian athletes, who showcased their horses in such a marvellous way.”Ī whopping 278 horses from 12 different countries competing a total of 330 times for all but 23 Championship titles – and all of it broadcast out into the entire world via live-stream, with magnificent pictures of a breed whose versatility remains practically unrivalled.
