EMIRATES ARABIAN HORSE GLOBAL CUP
Australasian Championship
Proudly hosted in joint collaboration with
the Emirates Arabian Horse Society (EAHS)
To be held in conjunction with the
2025 Australasian Arabian International Championships
Friday 31st January & Saturday 1st February at Willinga Park
​
We are humbled and honoured to partner once again with both the Emirates Arabian Horse Society and ECAHO to host the Emirates Arabian Horse Global Cup - Australasian Championship (EAHGC-AC). This innovative, truly global recognition programme is designed to both promote small breeders worldwide and to reward owners and breeders in all regions worldwide with prize money totalling €1,250,000 annually. The EAHGC is comprised of ten prestigious events each calendar year, including three shows in Europe, four events in the Middle East & North Africa, and one each in North America & South America, as well as our very own show here in Australasia.
​
According the rules outlined by the EAHS, the vast majority of our owners and breeders in Australia and New Zealand will qualify to compete and win prize money as small-medium sized breeders with their purebred Arabian breeding stock. Entries for the EAHGC for all horses owned by certified small-medium sized breeders will open soon. Prize money will be paid directly by the EAHS to all owners of horses placed first through fifth in all twelve (12) EAHGC qualifying classes for purebred Arabian yearling fillies and colts (two splits according to birthdate for both genders), junior fillies and colts (two year olds and three year olds), as well as senior mares and stallions (two splits according to age for both genders). ​
