“Our goal is to give as many handicapped people the chance of taking part as possible,“ says NRHA Germany Vice President Paul Kratschmer. “We intend to keep fees as low as possible, so we are talking to potential sponsors at the moment.”

The Showdown Ranch is a renowned breeding and training facility at 73553 Alfdorf, Haghof. Here, riders find optimal conditions for training like a new indoor arena (30 x 60m) with excellent reining ground. For the horses, there big box stalls as well as outdoor stalls with pastures.
