Classes Offered
Join us online for the EBRA Virtual Horse Show Watch Party on Saturday, December 5, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST, where we'll celebrate our exhibitors and announce results together! We can't wait to see your European Brabants, crosses, and mules in action. Good luck, have fun, and start filming!
It's completely FREE to enter! 🎉
To participate, you simply need to be an EBRA Member — you do not need to live in North America, and you don't need to own an EBRA-registered horse to become a Member.
In fact, your horse does not need to be registered with the EBRA to compete in the Virtual Horse Show.
Not a member yet? Joining is quick and easy—simply click the button below to become part of the EBRA family. We can't wait to see you and your horses in the 2026 EBRA Virtual Horse Show!
SHOWMANSHIP
In this in-hand class, the handler—not the horse—is judged. Exhibitors are evaluated on grooming, presentation, ring presence, and their ability to precisely maneuver their horse through a designated pattern.
TRAIL
Horses are evaluated on their ability to safely and confidently navigate obstacles under saddle, in hand, ground driven, or hitched. Judges score manners, willingness, responsiveness, and precise footwork rather than speed, rewarding horses that calmly and thoughtfully work through each challenge.
LOG SKIDDING
This class showcases a horse's strength, responsiveness, and teamwork as they safely pull a log through a timed obstacle course. Judges evaluate control, precision, manners, and the horse's ability to calmly navigate turns and obstacles while working in harness.
PLEASURE DRIVING
This class highlights a horse's manners, responsiveness, and suitability as a safe, enjoyable driving partner. Judges evaluate turnout, obedience, way of going, and overall presentation, rewarding horses that are calm, willing, and comfortable to drive at the walk, trot, and road trot.
TRADITIONAL BRAIDING
Celebrate the rich heritage of the European Brabant by presenting your horse in traditional Dutch and Belgian-style braids, yarn, and raffia. Judges look for creativity, craftsmanship, and overall presentation while honoring the breed's historic show traditions.
📅 Don’t forget: all submissions must be completed by November 2, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST, and our Virtual Show Watch Party will be held on December 5, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST online.
If you have any questions, need clarification, or need assistance with registration or submissions, please don’t hesitate to reach out: 📧 info@europeanbrabant.com
🐴 We are so excited to see your horses, your creativity, and your dedication to this incredible breed!
