AHO World Cup & AHO Breeders’ Championship Europe 2016 in the Capital of Horses – Hippodrome de Chantilly
August sees the fourth edition of the Arabian Horse Organization (AHO) Breeders’ Championship Europe and the second edition of the AHO World Cup take place in Chantilly. Held between 4-7 August, the shows will take place between the exquisite Chateau de Chantilly and the beautiful Grand Stables, built in the 18th century by the grandson of Louis XIV. Chantilly has a long cultural history with the most beautiful conquest of man, and the venue is perfectly fitting to the Arabian horse’s beauty and elegance. The AHO is very proud to host this prestigious event in such an ideal venue and at the same time, be a part of the Equestrian calendar in Chantilly along with the Prix du Jockey Club, the Prix de Diane, the Longines Global Champions Tour and major Polo Events.
