The Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI) has allocated host cities for 13 FEI Championships for the next two years including the Senior European Championships for Eventing in 2021
France will host the 2021 FEI Eventing European Championships at Haras Du Pin, the location for the dressage and cross country during the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Normandy, from 11th – 15th August 2021
Le Haras Du Pin, located in Normandy and one of the French National Studs, also hosts 4* Le Grand Complet which has in turn hosted Eventing World Cup and Nations Cup events in recent years.
While France takes the Eventing Championship, Budapest (HUN) will lead the way as host of the FEI Jumping, Dressage, Para Dressage, Driving and Vaulting European Championships in August 2021. This will be the first time that the Hungarian capital, which has a long tradition in equestrian sport, will host a multi-discipline FEI European Championships. The event will mark the 50th anniversary of the first FEI Driving European Championships, which were held at the same venue – Kincsem Park in the heart of the city - in 1971.
“The FEI European Championships are among the FEI’s most important events, attracting top class athletes and horses for over six decades” FEI President Ingmar De Vos said “During the next two years equestrian fans will have the opportunity to enjoy thrilling sport in some of Europe’s biggest cities. The allocation of the FEI Jumping, Dressage, Para Dressage, Driving and Vaulting European Championships to Budapest will further promote horse sport in Hungary, which already has a remarkable equestrian history.”
“This bidding process reinforces the FEI’s policy of transparency and fairness”, the FEI President commented. “It is a key step forward in harmonising the bidding for all FEI Championships, Finals and Series.”
The FEI Board decided to re-open the bid process for a multi-year allocation for the FEI WBFSH World Breeding Championships for Young Horses in the disciplines of Jumping, Dressage and Eventing for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Currently the Allocations will be made at the FEI Board meeting in November 2019 at the FEI General Assembly in Moscow.
