October 2005 Arabian Cup Championships at Delaware Park  And 2005 North 
American Endurance Championship Fall Festival at Fairhill



It is a rare opportunity for equestrians to join together in the sports of 
Arabian Racing and Endurance Riding  to watch the best each game has to offer.  
This year , Two Championship events which feature Arabians horses will take 
place during the same week in October, a few miles apart.



Thursday, October 13, through Sunday evening, October 14, the best Arabians in 
both racing and endurance will be stabled less than 30 minutes from each other, 
competing in the 2005 Arabian Racing Cup Championships at Delaware Park Race 
Track  and at the 2005 North American Endurance Championships.  The Endurance 
Competition will be  held during the Fairhill International Festival in the 
Country Fall Festival, one of the premier equestrian sport parks in the United 
States.



> From it?s modest beginnings as the host of a three day event , the Fairhill 
> International Festival in the Country has grown to four days full of anything 
> a horse enthusiast could ever want. In a pastoral setting of magnificent hills 
> and foliage, this estate was once the largest private land holding in the East 
> (formerly owned by William Dupont, Jr.). and now owned by the Maryland for all 
> equestrians to enjoy.


The Festival features competition in a CCI*** three day event, combined driving 
event and the FEI CEI*** North American Endurance Championships.  Thousands of 
people come each year to see this fantastic international competition. For

The Arabian Cup Championships began in 1995 with the notion that the nation?s 
best purebred Arabian racehorses should come together on a given weekend and 
make their cases toward one of the divisional championships. The Cup 
Championships have grown into Arabian Racing?s biggest event with six Grade One 
stakes and purses totaling over $400,000.

Coupled with the races themselves, this is a autumn weekend of social activity 
that makes the 2005 Championships the ?don't miss? event of the year.
