Arabian shows in the UK/Europe?

Can anyone in the know point me to some good arabian shows in the UK. Or shows that may hold an arab class of two. Preferably more prestigious shows!

I'm doing my research a few years in advance - I'm from Ireland and there are zero to no arabian shows here and I can count on one hand the amount of arabian stallions standing here. So my plan is to breed my 89% crabbet arabian mare in the hopes for a colt. There is a big hole in the market - there are no crabbet stallions standing in Ireland (unless you count my mares sire who is now in his 20s!) so the market is in demand for them. if she has a filly, the filly will be broken at 4 and used by my as a endurence horse.

Obviously I will be showing my mares foal, which is why I'm asking this. Over here there is only one big show - equifest in Cavan, which only has 1 arabian class, my mare has only ever gotten top 10 in this as it brings in a lot of international showers. She has won more local arabian shows. I have experience in arabian halter showing and ridden showing, my mare generally gets 1st place in country and provence shows. She is also doing very well in the dressage circuit, she is not just some random mare.

So lists! I will be shipping the future colt to the UK to compete to get some big names onto his records. I want to stand a fully approved, prize winning stallion. He will not cover any mare unless he has proven he is a good example of the breed. Any genetic problems/behavious problems he will be gelded, broken at 4 and sold as a preformance arab.

The stallion in question is a 87% crabbet stallion - 2005 polish arabian, he has won many titles over in Poland and in Europe, I know the owners of him and they are offering me a chance to breed to him - he only breeds a few mares every year (only approved, prize winning mares), he is currently standing in Germany, he comes to Ireland for a few months every year.

So lists! Shows! Tell me all of your favourite arabian shows! If you know any in France, Germany, Europe would be even better!

Update:

I have used google to the best of it's abilities, a lot of shows don't have websites, so it's hard to get a good comprehensive list! There is no arabian society of Ireland - and the UK society is very expensive to call. ;)

    You can e:mail the UK arab society or check on their website for details. Why not try that? It is quite simple. I have just done it - and it costs nothing.

    Contact the Arab Horse Society - they hold lots of shows. You will have to register with them to compete though.

    EDIT

    Err.. You can email people now. It's the 21st century *rolls eyes*
