11TH TRAPANI ARABIAN HORSES CUP

The eleventh edition of the Trapani Arabian Horses Cup took place from 8th to 9th May 2021 at the "Pietra Dei Fiori" Equestrian Center in Bruca, in the municipal area of Buseto Palizzolo, not far from the Segesta Archaeological Park. The International category C (ECAHO) morphology competition got organized by the "Nuovo Gruppo Equestre Monte Erice" Association led by President Nino Culcasi under the patronage of ANICA – Italian National Association for the Arabian Horse. Again this year, the participating horses, divided into different categories and presented by their handlers, got evaluated by a selected jury who decided the best specimens of this 2021 edition, and composed of Dr. Gianmarco Aragno (Italy); Ms. Paola Bohmer (Netherlands); Mr. Hassan Al Mannai (Qatar) and Mr. Daniel Souppat (France).
The Disciplinary Commissioners of this 2021 edition were: Mr. Roberto Ceccaroni (Italy), Mr. Marco Capelli (Italy), and Dr. Vet. Giuseppe Fantauzzo (Italy). In the arena, the Ringmaster Mario Bonomi (Italy). Speaker and Secretary of the event, Ms. Vittoria Abbenate (Italy). Official photographers: Mrs. Sunny Sassudelli (Italy) and Mr. Enzo Benincasa (Italy). After the awarding ceremony, the organizer Culcasi solemnly declared that organizing the competition in the current pandemic situation was not easy.
Despite that, and without losing heart, all the insiders, including himself, went ahead with the preparations and respecting the current legislation, they set up a dignified Championship, in a structure suitable for the optimal running of the show, with seats in the stands appropriately marked and spaced according to the regulations envisaged for the conduct of outdoor events in times of pandemics. We spent two days of healthy and sporty competition - we add - with beautiful specimens admired and applauded by an audience of local families, fans from all over Italy, but also curious folks. Culcasi then thanked all the participants who attended the kermesse by renewing the appointment for the 2022 season. The final results of the 2021 Championship are listed below.
