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.

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

*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...
