Meet the 2021 European Haflinger Champions!

30/08/2021 – With the 2021 European Haflinger Championship all wrapped up, we’re now left with countless unforgettable impressions and emotions: From the Parade of the Nations all the way to the closing ceremony, those four intense tournament days are sure to accompany both our participants and the audience for quite some time to come. 

A total of 24 Championship titles have successfully been awarded, and to say it with the words of WHBSF President Lukas Scheiber, the key is to bring breeding and sports together: “The breeders are immensely proud of the equestrian athletes, who showcased their horses in such a marvellous way.”

A whopping 278 horses from 12 different countries competing a total of 330 times for all but 23 Championship titles – and all of it broadcast out into the entire world via live-stream, with magnificent pictures of a breed whose versatility remains practically unrivalled. 

This year’s edition was the seventh European Haflinger Championship, and it was the fourth time the tournament took place at the Stadl-Paura Equestrian Centre in Austria. A tried-and-tested venue: Not least thanks to its top-level logistics and a well-rehearsed team with Johannes Mayrhofer at the helm, the organisational processes ran seamlessly throughout the entire event. In the run-up to the tournament, WHBSF President Lukas Scheiber and Secretary Michael Gruber, too, had put in a great deal of preparation. And on-site, it was up to Coordinator-In-Chief Roland Morat to ensure that everything ran smoothly and on schedule, while Walter Oberhofer, with the assistance of Luca Marini, provided a cheerful commentary as Master of Ceremonies.

All in all, it was a major celebration for the Haflinger community around the world – finally an opportunity to meet again, exchange ideas, compete and put on the grand stage the one thing that unites us: our great passion for the Haflinger breed. 

Since the last edition, the skill sets and standards among riders, drivers and horses alike have increased remarkably, and the judges were noticeably impressed. The overall profile of the event has also gone up significantly – a development made especially evident by the fact that only FEI judges and stewards were on duty this time round.

2021 European Haflinger Championship

27/02/2020 – The EUCH takes place every three years. The last edition, held in 2018 in the Austrian town of Stadl Paura, saw 329 Haflingers and 399 horse fans from 12 countries take part in a total of 12 disciplines. And the next one is just around the corner: From 25 to 28 August 2021 at the Stadl-Paura Equestrian Sports Centre, it's curtains up for our sporty Haflingers and athletes from all over Europe!


2003 Stadl Paura (A), 2006 Munich Riem (D), 2009 Merano/Meran (I), 2012 Stadl Paura (A), 2015 Vermezzo Milan (I), 2018 Stadl Paura (A), 2021 Stadl Paura (A)

The success of the European Haflinger Championship has managed to top even the most optimistic expectations of initiator Roland Spitzer. He was the first to talk about the idea of an international Haflinger sports contest. Today, the World Haflinger Breeding and Sports Federation (WHBSF) has taken on the organisation in order to fully secure the future of the initiative.
