We on the AHM team spent two mar- velous days full of grace and sport, gorgeous food and wine and a strictly local hospitality. Therefore, con- gratulations to the winners and the organizers, to the judges, to the disciplinary commissioners and to the handlers who intervened but, first and foremost, con- gratulations to Mr. Roberto Ceccaroni and A.S.D.k Arabian Horse Events, in collaboration with the Mu- nicipality of Montefalco, which made considerable efforts for the preparation of this important morpho- logy event in Umbria, despite the unique circumstan- ces we are still experiencing due to the spread of the pandemic disease.
