Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Normandy Announce Test Event Dates
Test events in four FEI disciplines will take place in 2013 and a further two in 2014 in preparation for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Normandy.
The test events will run according to the following schedule:
Endurance–16 August at Sartilly
Eventing–16-18 August at Haras du Pin and Caen
Driving–22-25 August in Caen
Reining–20 October in Caen (Parc des expositions)
The test events in Jumping and Dressage will be held in June 2014.
“The Organising Committee and the FEI are working in close cooperation to stage the best possible test events and to deliver Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 of the highest quality,” FEI Secretary General Ingmar De Vos commented.
“Test events in six FEI disciplines will be organised and even though no specific test events will be held in Vaulting and Para Equestrian, all technical aspects will be examined to ensure the competitions in all the disciplines meet the same level of excellence.”
The Games’ Organising Committee has now confirmed that the Dressage and Cross Country phases of Eventing will take place at Haras du Pin and the final Jumping phase will be held at the main stadium – Stade Ornano – in Caen.
“Haras du Pin is renowned for the quality of its infrastructure and the FEI is very pleased that a plan that meets all our requirements regarding the best possible conditions to ensure horse welfare has been agreed to,” Ingmar De Vos added.
Looking ahead to the FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018, Rabat (MAR) has withdrawn from the bidding process.
“The sad passing of HRH Princess Lalla Amina has meant that the Moroccans have lost the driving force behind their bid to stage the FEI World Equestrian Games in 2018,” said Ingmar De Vos. “We have two strong bids from Canada and Austria for 2018, and we are hopeful that the Moroccans can regroup and put in a bid for 2022.”
Bromont (CAN) and Vienna (AUT) are still in the running to host the FEI World Equestrian Games™ in 2018. The host city will be selected by the FEI Bureau in the spring of 2013.

'We Can All Celebrate Together’: Iron Bridge Hounds Pony Club Brings Home the Victory in USEA IEL Championship
Amidst the unbridled enthusiasm of the USEA Intercollegiate teams competing in this weekend’s USEA Intercollegiate & Interscholastic Eventing Championships at Stable View (Aiken, S.C.), the Interscholastic Eventing League (IEL) riders have held their own with displays of teamwork and horsemanship all weekend long. While all teams put their best foot forward, one team rose above the rest. The Iron Bridge Hounds Pony Club came into the weekend with one goal in mind—to win. They achieved that goal by such a large margin, a little more than 16 points, that they were able to claim the title of champions before their last rider, 16-year-old Claire McMillan, had even left the start box.
