November 16, 2011 - The Globe and Mail

Roger Deslauriers, the squire of the Bromont Equestrian Park in Quebec, was ruffled by only one thing on Wednesday: the surprising number of competitors he faces in a bid for the 2018 World Equestrian Games.

“I didn’t know there were so many,” said Deslauriers, the general manager of the facility that staged the equestrian events at the 1976 Olympics – 35 years ago.

Alltech Unites with the Normandy 2014 Organizing Committee to Make the FEI 
World Equestrian Games a Success

[Caen, FRANCE] – Laurent Beauvais, chairman of the Basse-Normandie Regional Council and Normandy 2014 Organizing Committee, and Alltech president Dr. Pearse Lyons today announced that Alltech will be the title sponsor of the 
2014 FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Normandy. This joint signing represents an historic partnership in the world of equestrian sports with a commitment from Alltech to the value of €10 million. The seventh edition of the FEI World Equestrian Games will officially be known as the Alltech FEI World 
Equestrian Games Normandy 2014.

“Alltech is proud to continue our partnership with the World Equestrian Games,” said Alltech President and Founder Dr. Pearse Lyons. “These world championships of equestrian sport epitomize the values that we applaud: passion, excellence and performance. When the eyes of the world tune in to 
watch the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Normandy, France, we will be there. Alltech’s sponsorship of equestrian sport brings the brand to life and creates value for our partners, generating strong ties with the end consumer of our products at moments of great passion. France and Normandy in particular, with its worldwide reputation of excellence in horse breeding, is a strategic location for our company. Alltech has a longstanding history of serving the agricultural community in France, and we are thrilled to 
support the event in Normandy and to share in the pride of this spectacular event. Given the inherent passion the people of Normandy have for the horse, we hope to leverage this sponsorship to support the communities in which we live and work."

Alltech’s commitment to supporting national and international equestrian sports began in 2006, when it agreed to become the first-ever title sponsor of the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. More than half a million spectators from all 50 U.S. states and 63 countries attended the 2010 event in Kentucky, and another 500 million television viewers around the world 
tuned in. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of Alltech France, where Alltech has offices in both Paris and Nantes. The company has a strong corporate presence throughout Europe, where 36 of its offices are located. Vice-President for Alltech Europe, Mr. Marc Larousse oversees the European region from the Paris office.

Countdown to the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games Normandy 2014 officially begins on July 8, 2011. This day marks 1136 days out to the opening day of the event on August 17, 2014. More than 900 riders and 850 horses 
representing more than 60 nations are expected to convene in Normandy.

KEVIN STAUT BECOMES FIRST ATHLETE REPRESENTATIVE ON FEI EXECUTIVE BOARD

Kevin Staut, one of France’s most successful Jumping riders, has become the first athlete to be appointed to the FEI Executive Board. His appointment was ratified at today’s Extraordinary General Assembly at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne (SUI).

“Sports governance can so often be about politics, and the appointment of an athlete representative on the Executive Board is an historic event for the FEI. It will give us a constant reminder that sport should always be at the heart of everything we do,” explained FEI President HRH Princess Haya. “Kevin is a consummate horseman who will represent the best interests of athletes across all of our disciplines. He is widely admired by all of us and we are delighted that he joins the Executive Board.”

Kevin Staut also commented on his new role in the FEI, “These are exciting times - I will continue to compete while helping the FEI to build closer partnerships with athletes, the National Federations and rider groups around the world.

“I have discussed my role at length with the FEI President. We share the common goals of achieving clear communication and raising awareness within the equestrian community and to wider audiences, and I am very much looking forward to achieving these.”

Kevin Staut’s biography can be viewed on this LINK.

The full role of the Executive Board, its composition and meeting processes are detailed in Art. 4.5 of the FEI Internal Regulations.

*The region around Caen, Normandy, France, site of the 2014 World Equestrian Games, offers many places and events to delight the equestrian. It's not too early to start planning your trip!*

By Susan Harding

September 2, 2010--In 2014, the FEI World Equestrian Games will be held in Caen in Normandy, France, during the anniversary of the Normandy invasion of World War II. And it’s not too early to begin planning your trip.

Basse-Normandie (Lower Normandy) is an equestrian’s delight with historic stables and spectator events from harness and flat racing to polo, show jumping and more. And, of course, there are also are the things that make
France, and particularly Normandy, a wonderful place to visit--local cheeses, French bread, delicious wine, charming 17th- and 18th-century country cottages, miles of white sandy beaches and historic villages around every corner.

On a recent trip to preview the venues for the 2014 World Equestrian Games, I was introduced to just a few of the very special equestrian sites in Basse-Normandie. Here’s a quick preview of why a trip to Normandy either before or during the Games is a must:

ENDURANCE IN THE 2020 OLYMPICS?

Horsetalk.co.nz - Felicity Foxhunter blog

April 29th, 2010 by Felicity Foxhunter

Yes, possums, you read the headline right! My endurance fans are abuzz at being in with a chance of racing at the Olympic Games in 2020.

But how could this be, you ask, with equestrian sport in the Olympic bad books?

Simple. Dubai's head honcho Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum came out this week and said that he was seriously considering a bid for the 2020 Olympic Games. As we all know, he is horse-mad, and despite being
in a bit of hot water last year, is very much endurance-mad, too.

Add to this the fact his wife (No.2) is the boss-lady of the FEI,
Princess Haya, who also happens to be an Olympic Committee (IOC) member.          Do the math!

See why endurance riders around the globe are eyeing their four-legged prospects for 10 years' time?

A few tweaks might be needed for us "others" to keep up with the arabs ... a previous world record for 120km is 4 hours 32 minutes and 36 seconds … the same distance was covered here in New Zealand in 7:46:55 at the nationals earlier this year...
