Following strict COVID and EHV-1 protocols, Europe’s first major event counts over 650 horses accompanied by enthusiastic riders, owners, and staff. “Our compliments go to Giancarlo Doardo’s Tfy for the strength and tenacity in organizing this competition during a year as difficult as the one we are living in. With pride we salute the new edition of the IRHA and NRHA European Futurity,” said Roberto Biloni, president of CremonaFiere. “The realization of this event is the result of a joint effort between the local community, the city council administration, together with CremonaFiere, IRHA, NRHA, and FISE demonstrating the fact that even in the most difficult moments, the best results are achieved by unity. This edition will make history thanks to a group of professionals from the industry, along with equestrian professionals, that were not intimidated by this historical moment but continued on their path with competence, persistence, and courage. Well done and, above all, enjoy the ride!”
