THE ERCHA/NRCHA AUTUMN SHOW IS A SUCCESS!

“With twice as many entries compared to last year, the 2019 edition of the ERCHA/NRHA Autumn Show is already a success!” said Otto De Fazio, vice president of the European Reined Cow Horse Association (ERCHA). Held at the Palacittà Travagliato Cavalli arena, the event open to 4- and 5-year-old horses shown two-handed in a snaffle bit or hackamore, offered three days of intense competition. The highlight was, of course, the Autumn Show along with the ancillary NRCHA approved classes, ERCHA and Regional classes and the determination of who would bring home the ERCHA year-end titles.

The Morocco Royal Tour ended with a double Italian triumph in the Grand Prix of His Majesty Mohammed VI. Roberto Turchetto wins, thirty-two small hundredths faster, in front of "veteran" Natale Chiaudani after a tough battle. A final apotheosis, especially if you are Italian, but also for this magnificent circuit that finds its conclusion in front of a large public.
