Mediterranean town Menton hosts the prestigious A show for Arabian horses since 1991. This year edition took place last weekend. This popular show is always sponsored by the biggest Arabian horse studs of the world such as Al Kalediah, Al Shaqab, Ajman or Yeguada Ferrero. In 2007 Menton show the biggest show stars competed as well. Such big names as Pandoraah, Panarea By Palawan, Col Cora, Dakharo, Eternity Ibn Navarrone-or Marwan Al Shaqab’s sons – Marquis and Mardigras were entered. Most of the horses that were competing this year were owned by Middle Eastern Studs and – as one could expect – these one were fighting for the trophies. But this year also a Polish stallion – Michałów-bred Esparto being on lease to Ajman Stud joined the elite. He was beaten only by the Champion Stallion – Dakharo in his group of age. Dakharo was also awarded with Best Male of the Show and Most beautiful head in his class trophies.
There were many more of the titles given at Menton show. Besides the champions and most beautiful heads also Best Male (Dakharo mentioned above) and Female (Venetzia) were elected, as well as: Best French Horse of the show (Maya Des Alpes), Best Horse from Egypt (Pyramid Lahara K), Best Straight Egyptian Horse of the show (Kaliya) and Best European Horse of the Show (Eternity Ibn Navarrone-D). There were also two very special trophies given by the spectators and breeders: Espoir Trophy for Junior Male or Female selected by Al Khalediah Stables (Hypnotic Ibn Eternity-D) and Coup de Cour Trophy chosen by the VIP’s (Layan Al Khalediah).
