by Simone Leo z photos by Doris Dobetsberger During the first weekend of May, Wels once again was transformed into an equine capital. The event in Wels is definitely the most significant show in this part of Europe, beginning the season of European shows of the highest rank. TuttoArabi was present as the Media Partner of the event and sponsor. We never miss Wels show, first of all for the great and continuos job Mrs. Anne Heiloo and Susanne Werth are doing for it. They work without breaks during the year to let the people enjoy this event with a perfect organization. We really have to give a big applause to the show s main organizers Mrs. Anne Heiloo, the President of the Austrian Arab Horse Society (VVÖ) and the Vice-President, Mrs. Susanne Werth, who have dealt with this task very well. The show, as always, took place on the premises of the Pferd Wels Fair. 90 horses were entered and the quality was great. We had the chance to see during the weekend the Austrian National Show and the International Ecaho B Show. We have to say that compared to the last year, the quality of horses participating to the Austrian National Championships increased a lot. This year in the International Show AHO gave prize money as sponsor of the event encouranging the Austrian breeders to dedicate more investments on breedings. For the International show each class and championship had different sponsors. The show was fantastic and the tribunes were full. Many visitors, breeders and vips from worldwide arrived to see one of the best shows of the year. To let the people being more interested in both shows, Mrs. Anne Heiloo had the smart idea to mix the classes between National and International. The event was also in livestream through the Arabian Essence web tv. The speaker for the occasion was Jaroslav Lacina, the President of Ecaho. The group of judges did a very good job. The show was judged by Gianmarco Aragno (Italy), Cedas Bakker (Holland ), Claudia Darius (Germany), Koenrad Detailleur (Belgium), Bruce McCrea (Saudi Arabia), Marianne Tengstedt (Denmark). As the probationary judge Sami Ben Saad (Saudi Arabia). As Ringmasters Peter Urzsovitsch and in the pre-ring Peter Hegemann (Germany) and Wolfang Auer (Austria). The Disciplinary Committee did a great job as well thanks to the cooperation of Dr. Nils Ismer (Germany), Barbara Pfistner (Switzerland) and Isabella Auer (Austria). Also this year, as usual, many countries participated with enthusiasm in this show that is always fair and impartial as much as very well organized. In the next pages enjoy all the pictures took by Doris Dobetsberger with all the medals of National and International show and the owners and breeders details. Wels was the last show where Erwin Escher was in the show ring. He was in Wels for the last 25 years. We will miss him in the show ring. He was a longtime part of it all over the world. This time of year in the spring and in this part of Europe, we have one important show: Wels, a sort of warm-up arena before the autumn title shows. That s why it would be good for breeders to come, especially with their young horses, to gain experience in the arena in one of the most exicting shows of the year. q Erwin was a member of our show in Wels for 25 years. First under the organisation of Ferdinand Huemer and the last 4 years under the organisation of the Arabian Horse Society. We will miss him and all the friends of the Arabian Horses will miss Erwin in the show ring. He just was there with the Show Program in his Jeans pocket and his Camera. Unfortunately his last Show was Wels therefore he always will have a special place in our Wels show and specially in my heart. Thank you Erwin for all these beautifull pictures you made. His wife Annette will always be welcome in Wels and I hope she will have the power to stay with us as the companion and wife in memory of a special friend and a great Arab Horse lover and Photograph. Anne Heiloo Wels show was unfortunately the last show of one of our long time collaborators and friends: Erwin Escher. He passed away suddenly on Friday 13th May in the age of 57 years. We spent many shows together enjoying them all the time. With his wife Annette, they created a fantastic team work perfectly balanced. Everybody knows their farm in Germany, Gestuet Rothenberg, one of the most famous straight Egyptian farms in the world. We really hope that all the Arabian friends will not leave Annette alone and will visit her from time to time. Due to the unexpected event, we will not publish Erwin s pictures in the article. Erwin was a smart person, a loyal friend with a great sense of humor and a professional collaborator who will always remain in our hearts forever. Simone Leo www.tuttoarabi.com - TUTTO ARABI 53
