Americana, le grand salon western allemand bisannuel se tiendra à Augsburg (Bavière) du 28 août au 1^er septembre 2013. Comme chaque année des compétitions de première grandeur se dérouleront dans ce cadre. Les meilleurs cavaliers européens auront à cœur d’en découdre notamment en reining, cutting, working cow. Un événement qui vaut le voyage !

They are legends : the famous evening shows of AMERICANA are one of the major highlights for western fans all over Europe, and they will be so once more during 2013 AMERICANA (August 28 until September 1, 2013).

The Reining Festival & Cow Horse Top 6 is scheduled for Friday, August 20, and will present the $25,000 added Bronze Trophy Reining Open as well as the fencework of Europe’s top 6 Cow Horse Riders. On Thursday night, the FEI European Reining Championship (senior riders) will follow making this AMERICANA one of the major reining highlights of 2013.

The Saturday evening show Cutting Spectacular & Cow Horse Futurity includes the $ 10,800 added European Cutting Championship, the Cow Horse Futurity of the European Reined Cow Horse Association with a purse of $19,500. (Last year, this prestigious event was won by Jimmy Flores from California, in 2010 by Jörg Pasternak aboard Dirty Harry).

Besides these events, both evening shows offer first class show performance highlights – this year, from lion taming to Charlie Chaplin. AMERICANA shows are an excellent combination of spectacular show, high class sport and fun – something you will not find at any other European western event.

The AMERICANA evening shows alone are worth coming to Augsburg, but there is much more: come and enjoy Europe’s biggest trade fair of western equipment and western horses as well as the highly informative forum with famous trainers and experts.  There is no second event in Europe like that – no wonder visitors from all over the world come to Augsburg during AMERICANA.
