AQHA classes, APHA classes and the NSBA Young Horse Cup – this year’s International Danish Paint Horse Championship offers a wide variety of classes. We got in touch with Dóra Göcze, Jeanne Olsen, Kirsten Callesen and Kirstine Kaanbjerg Jensen who are four of the faces behind the show. Check out the article to find out all about this great show and what it has to offer!
Es ist das Highlight der Schweizer Westernsportszene: die Schweizer Meisterschaft. Denn es geht nicht nur um die begehrten Titel, sondern die Show steht vor allem für Vielfalt. Starten können Mitglieder von sechs Verbänden: ApHCS, FM Western, SAWH, SPHA, SQHA, SWRA. Wir beantworten die wichtigsten Fragen rund um das Turnier.
Yes, some people might not need to read this as they do not have to worry whether to go to a horse show or on vacation, they can do both. This article is for those people who calculate each horse show through and wonder where they might save a euro or two. There are numerous articles on this topic, just google it, so this one is an article that is simply based on my own experience, because I am lacking a lot of talents, but I do know how to show horses on a budget.
And the winner is… from Switzerland! Diesen Satz hört man auf großen Turnieren in allen Verbänden immer wieder – denn die Schweizer Westernreitszene ist im Vergleich zum deutschen Sport klein, aber voll von talentierten Reiterinnen und Reitern. Wir haben mit vier davon gesprochen und gefragt, was sie an ihrer Szene schätzen, was ihnen im Sport wichtig ist und welche Ziele sie noch haben – vor allem mit Blick auf die anstehenden Schweizer Meisterschaften.
Es wird bunt: Zum ersten Mal haben wir im Amateur-Portrait eine APHA-Reiterin. Zoe Cosic erzählt von ihrer Erfolgsstute Stella Simon, dem kürzlich geborenen Fohlen und spricht darüber, was ihr an der APHA-Szene besonders gut gefällt – und was nicht.

Some of you might have seen it on social media already: We welcomed a new team member! Oïa is a 2022 AQHA filly and Caro’s new four-legged partner. We asked Caro about her plans and why she got another horse.
Which hats do you wear? Which brand of boots? Where do you buy show clothing? We received messages with these questions a lot, especially from newcomers. Usually, they also want to know some brands or addresses where to get pieces for their first show outfit. In this article, we’d like to explain what we wear and how to create a neat outfit, especially if you are not super rich. We will mention some brands, but only because we actually wear them, not because we want to advertise them.
The candids were taken by Lea Henzgen, Louana Trutmann and Sandra Görtz – thank you!
