It is home to the Living Museum of the Horses with the Great Stables built by the Princes of Condé and is the stunning destination for passionate of horses, famous for its horse racing track, the Chantilly Racecourse, where prestigious races are held for the prix du Jockey Club and the prix de Diane. The Castle of Chantilly is well-known for the Library of the Petit Château which contains over 1500 manuscripts and 17,500 printed volumes, and for Museum Condé, inside the Castle, the second Museum of France by importance after Louvre, where is possible to admire a fantastic collection of Renaissance s paintings among which three Raffaello s, three Beato Angelico, three Delacroix, four Watteau and five Poussin.

Here for the second year, the amazing showground just in front of the Great Stables and the whole organization of this 2 days long show on open air - which Tutto Arabi has sponsored - has been lighted up by the Organizing Commitee - warmly thanks to HRH Prince Abdulaziz Bin Ahmed Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud as Chairman, Mr. Essam Abdulla as Show Director and Mr. Ahmed Abdelzarek and Dr. Mohamed Machmoum as Members.

2 owned by a European breeder (the Horse has never been sold or leased), be registered in a studbook recognized by WAHO, has not been neither a Gold, Silver or Bronze Champion in any Title Show nor a Gold Champion in any A-Show during 2012, 2013 or 2014, nor a Gold Champion at the Breeders European Championship in Chantilly 2013 (only exception for yearling horses become junior or junior horses become senior). The scoring system required separate assessments for Type, Head and Neck, Body and Topline, Legs, Movement. Only for Head and Neck and Legs, separate judges marks was given - first one for Head and one for Neck, then one for Front Legs and one for Hind Legs - and the final score was the average of the partial marks given. Chantilly Breeders European Championship has been giving the great opportunity for European Breeders to show themselves and their competitive skills. Price money is given equally to the top five qualified horses in each class (1000 euro each) and the Gold, Silver and Bronze Champions were awarded with 10, 5 and 3 thousand euro. Plus two Special Award by euro each for the Best Breeder and the Best Handler and trophies to Best Sire, Best in Show, Best Female and Best Male. This kind of price money distribution system stimulates the partecipation not only of the biggest breeders in Europe, but even of the smallers who really have their chance to compete and win. After having admired 134 horses entered and divided in 12 Classes, we let you discover the 7 exciting Champioships (for the first time AHO has the idea to organize the Junior Female Championships, just to give space to the breeders to take their chance), here below in the final Champions and Special Awards photographs. Enjoy and see you next year with the Chantilly Championship! q TUTTO ARABI 101
