EURO PAINT 2027
The European Paint Horse Championships EURO PAINT are the largest Paint Horse show outside the USA – eight days of top-level competition, outstanding horses, familiar faces and exhibitors from across Europe.
If you know EURO PAINT, you know it’s more than just another show on the calendar.

Securing an 11-day window in Kreuth’s busy event calendar took some serious juggling – but we made it happen:
EURO PAINT 2027 will take place August 28 – September 4, 2027, at Gut Matheshof in Rieden/Kreuth, Germany.

We’re looking forward to Kreuth, the horses, the competition and another unforgettable EURO PAINT – Be part of it.

Die European Paint Horse Championships EURO PAINT sind die größte Paint Horse Show außerhalb der USA – acht Tage Spitzensport, außergewöhnliche Pferde, bekannte Gesichter und Teilnehmer aus ganz Europa.
Wer die EURO PAINT kennt, weiß: Diese Show ist mehr als nur ein weiterer Show-Termin im Kalender.

Einen 11-Tage-Zeitraum im dicht belegten Veranstaltungskalender von Kreuth zu sichern, war diesmal echte Terminakrobatik – aber es ist geschafft:

EURO PAINT 2027 findet vom 28. August bis 4. September 2027 auf Gut Matheshof in Rieden/Kreuth statt.

Wir freuen uns auf Kreuth. Auf die Pferde. Auf den Sport. Und auf eine Woche EURO PAINT mit euch! Be part of it.

💕 THANK YOU TO OUR HORSE DONORS

Winning the silver medal at the 2026 APHA Youth World Games would not have been possible without the horse owners who generously provided their horses for this very special international competition.

At the Youth World Games, riders and horses meet for the first time at the event. In a very short amount of time, they have to get to know each other, adjust to one another, and come together as a team before entering the competition. The Youth World Games simply would not be possible in this format without the owners who place their trust in these young riders and generously lend them their horses.
