Subject: A Message from Arabian Futurity Europe
Dear Fellow Breeders,
We regret to inform you that Arabian Futurity Europe (AFE), following our last event, has made the difficult decision to cease its activities with immediate effect and until further notice. This includes the suspension of registration for nominations, which is currently on hold.
AFE was created out of a shared passion for the Arabian horse—a concept developed by breeders, for breeders. Over the years, we have hosted some of the world’s most renowned stallion breeding auctions and one of the few shows in Europe with generous prize money. This was made possible only through the tireless effort of our entire team.
Unfortunately, we no longer feel the same level of appreciation and support from the Arabian Horse Industry that we once enjoyed. The immense personal time and effort we have invested in AFE no longer feels valued, which has led us to reconsider the continuation of our activities. Our ongoing attempts to collaborate with owners, breeders, and trainers have not been met with the same spirit of cooperation within this increasingly self-focused community.
Nevertheless, we are grateful for the years of partnership with dedicated breeders, owners, and horse enthusiasts. Together, we created a space that made the Arabian Horse Industry more accessible and filled with opportunities for all, helping to make it less intimidating for the general public.
We sincerely thank you for your continued support and hope for a future that will allow us to rekindle the spirit of cooperation and enthusiasm that once defined AFE.
Best regards,
The Arabian Futurity Europe Team
