The annual showcase dedicated to young horses and stallions returns to Cremona, with a reduced box fee of €250 and, for the first time, the opportunity to present horses offered for sale.
ACME Presentation will once again be part of Futurity 2026 in Cremona, confirming its place as an established showcase dedicated to promoting young horses, stallions and the quality of the breeding sector.
The auction originally planned for this year’s Futurity has been rescheduled for 2027. The decision was made to allow the time needed to develop a carefully selected, high-quality group of horses for the event.
However, the journey towards the 2027 ACME Auction starts this year.
During ACME Presentation 2026, selectors will be on site to begin viewing and evaluating potential candidates for next year’s auction.
The event will therefore represent an important first step in the selection process, while continuing to offer breeders and owners a valuable platform to present their horses to professionals within the industry.
Despite the disruption and delays caused by the exceptional weather event that recently affected CremonaFiere, the organisation has chosen to maintain ACME Presentation as part of the Futurity programme.
To encourage participation and support breeders and owners, the 2026 box fee has been reduced from €400 to €250.
A Broader ACME Presentation
The 2026 edition will be open to yearlings, two-year-olds and stallions, with an important new opportunity: for the first time, owners will also be able to present horses currently offered for sale.
This new format is designed to make ACME Presentation an even stronger meeting point for breeders, owners, professionals and potential buyers, creating new opportunities for visibility, connections and business within one of the key events of the season.
ACME Presentation continues to be a showcase for breeding quality, promising young horses and new opportunities for the industry, while this year also marks the beginning of the road towards the 2027 auction.
The full ACME Presentation 2026 programme is available in the attachment.
