A Very Special Win: Franziska Götz is the Int. DQHA Champion Amateur Showmanship
Winning the first title at a big show sure is something special – and Franziska Götz’s win in the Amateur Showmanship at the Q22 with her mare Kings Finest Joy was no exception. What makes this win even more special is the fact that a few weeks prior to the show it wasn’t even clear whether Franziska could ride or show at all.
How do Amateur Riders Prepare for the Q22?
Recently, a follower asked us how Amateur riders prepare for the Q22, the International DQHA Championship. We asked seven Amateur riders who are in different stages of their Amateur career – some are showing L1 and L3, one shows EWD, some show young horses – and those are their answers.
Coming Soon: Die Schweizer Meisterschaft
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.
Klein aber fein: Die Schweizer Westernreitszene
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.

Showing a Young Horse: Which Program to Choose?
Starting a youngster, introducing a young horse to the show circuit, that is an exciting process – one that comes with many decisions. Owner and trainer have to decide which association and which futurity program they want to show the horse in. We have talked to Linda Leckebuch-Stark and Carolin Lenz about that decision and looked at two of the largest programs in Europe.
Ask The Judge!
You are new to the show industry and totally confused by everything that’s going on? You have been showing for a while but still don’t get the new scoring system? You are a DIY-rider without a trainer to ask some questions? We are here to help! Together with five DQHA Professional Horsewomen who are also judges, we have created this unique opportunity for you: Ask the judge!
