Morgan cars, as well as other rare and spectacular collector cars, will be present

equestrian event.

"This year, we have an exceptional commentator from Great Britain, Spencer
Sturmey who a month ago commentated the World Dressage Championships
held in Herning, Denmark, as well as referees from Japan, Great Britain,
Sweden and Venezuela. We will be promoting spectacular equestrian
disciplines, but less known to the Romanian public, among them the Vaulting
demonstrations – representatives of an elite club from Oradea will perform-, as
well as the Two-in-hand and Four-in -Hand Driving demontrations, an equestrian
discipline where Romania excels! Those who make their debut in the Eventing
Competition will be able to participate before the event in a training session on
the Cantacuzino Estate with Spencer Sturmey, a renowned 4* rider!", said
Mihnea Vîrgolici, Karpatia Horse Show event director.

"We were lucky to meet a man passionate about horses, Mihnea Vîrgolici, who
put us in touch with the International Equestrian Federation, which was
impressed by Cantacuzino Estate grandeur. We could not have found a nobler
and more appropriate activity for this place that my great-grandfather, Gheorghe
Grigore Cantacuzino, wanted to be elegant and aesthetically pleasing. And the
Eventing Competition meets all these attributes. This year's Karpatia Horse
Show becames a festival in the true sense of the word," said Irina Bossy-Ghica,
a descendant of the Cantacuzino family who built the Cantacuzino Estate in
Florești (Prahova).

Apart from the equestrian competition, the event invites to a complete escape
from everyday life for friends and family, just an hour away from Bucharest and
Brasov. Adults and children will have many activities to enjoy: creative
workshops, equestrian leisure areas, Adventure Park, zip line, archery, electric
bike rides, guided tours on the Cantacuzino Estate, shopping inspired by the
equestrian world, Food&Drinks with a Gourmet area.
An exciting novelty, this year nature lovers can camp on the Cantacuzino
Estate, right next to the edge of the forest.
