Classic Spanish and Spanish-related Arabians are most often shown by Spanish Breeding Farms such as Ses Planes, Ferrero, Complutum and Bautista Vich on the Mediterranean Circuit which includes Spain, France (Meriterranean Cup at Menton) and Italy.  Some of the northern breeders in France will also participate on the Northern Circuit showing in the Low Countries along with Belgium, Holland and Germany.  Germany and Austria have multiple shows within their borders and the "Title Shows" draw competitors from all over. These are the All Nations Cup (Achen), European Championships or Euro Cup and World Championships or World Cup (Paris) and the Middle Eastern Championships.  For these four "Title Shows" qualification is necessary.  Furthermore, some "B shows" have been up-graded to "A shows", namely those at Wels/AT, Borgloon/BE, Vilhelmsborg/DK, Menton/FR and for the Middle Eastern Area, Doha/QAT; Towerlands/GB remains an A show.  For these A shows, qualification is no longer required.

An ECAHO Cup has been introduced for which all National Championship shows, A shows and Title Shows will be taken into account. Horses can collect points at these shows, their best five results will be added up and finally the best horses in each category (junior, senior, male, female) will receive an award. The award will be handed out at the European Championships.
