EURO PAINT 2026: Europe's biggest Paint Horse spectacle returns to Kreuth
Between East Bavarian Hall and the spacious outdoor areas, the event atmosphere intensifies: At the European Paint Horse Championship 2026 (EURO PAINT), international elite meets a family community. Ten days of western riding sports, fine showmanship, and a real event experience await in Rieden-Kreuth.
Top-Level Western Riding Sports
EURO PAINT combines professional organization, precise event planning, and clear target audience communication: Open, amateur, and youth classes, futurity and maturity tests, as well as chrome-cash formats ensure a vibrant atmosphere for the audience. The APHA Zone 12 character and PHCG expertise create a framework where timing, process, and participant care are on point.
Sporting Variety that Excites
From trail to western pleasure to ranch disciplines: The arena of the East Bavarian Hall (80 x 40 m) offers perfect sightlines, and the riding arenas and stabling facilities have short distances. The result: smooth processes, palpable tension, and strong moments for spectators and teams.
Big Stage: East Bavarian Hall & Tournament Center
More than 4,000 parking spaces, short distances to hotels and catering, up to 4,500 fixed seats – the East Bavarian Equestrian and Tournament Center is suited for large events. The infrastructure supports performance in the arena as well as the experience in the stands.
Experience Meets Authority
The organizer is the Paint Horse Club Germany e.V. (PHCG) within the APHA Zone 12 framework. Press and ranking reports from the American Paint Horse Association underline the importance of EURO PAINT as a top show outside the USA. This lends the event radiance and reliability.
Visitor Services
Spacious parking areas directly at the venue, on-site catering, clear wayfinding – the event management is prepared for a smooth visitor experience. Information on entry, daily programs, and associated events will be kept up to date at the show office and online.
Conclusion
Ten days of pure Paint Horse feeling: strong rides, great emotions, community vibes. EURO PAINT 2026 delivers the full event experience in Kreuth – ideal for families, western fans, and sports lovers. Being there live is worthwhile.
