At its meeting on 25 September 2025 in Aachen, the Executive Committee of ECAHO reviewed two cases concerning recent shows:
Azez Arabian Show (22–25 August 2025):
Due to serious violations of ECAHO rules, including failure to
communicate reclassification of the event to exhibitors, the
organiser has been banned from organising any ECAHO-affiliated events for
two years.
Manda Arabian Horse Show (9–14 July 2025):
Following a serious safety incident involving a judge, the
organiser has been banned from organising any ECAHO-affiliated events for
three years.
These measures have been taken to protect the integrity of ECAHO events and to ensure the safety and fair treatment of officials, exhibitors, and participants.
