Prague, Czech Republic, has been selected as the host city for the 2026 European Show Seminar, an educational event and networking opportunity presented by the National Snaffle Bit Association (NSBA) together with American Paint Horse Association (APHA) and the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA). Scheduled for January 30–February 1, 2026, the event will bring together Europe’s Western horse community for an inspiring start to the show season.

The 2026 European Show Seminar will feature a dynamic program of educational sessions and networking opportunities designed to educate, connect, and inspire participants. A specialized track will be available for judge applicants and carded judges seeking recertification, with APHA and NSBA administering judge applicant testing on February 1. Additionally, a dedicated track will cater to exhibitors, trainers, show managers, and club leaders, offering expert-led presentations on a variety of topics to enhance their skills and knowledge.

Building on the success of previous events, the European Show Seminar will also include leadership development workshops, regional meetings, and interactive learning experiences, empowering participants to strengthen their roles within Europe’s Western horse community.
