World Equestrian Games
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Bm-berlin-aachen.jpg/220px-Bm-berlin-aachen.jpg)
The World Equestrian Games ( World Equestrian Games ) were caused by the FEI discharged common world championships in six to eight disciplines equestrian sport . Since 1990, they have been organized in one place for the six equestrian sports of dressage , show jumping , eventing , endurance riding , vaulting and driving . Until then, the world championships of the individual disciplines were held in separate events.
In 2002 reining (the “ Western dressage”) was added as the seventh sport at the World Equestrian Games , and in 2010 the dressage competitions for riders with disabilities .
The World Equestrian Games were an opportunity, especially for the non-Olympic disciplines, to get public attention far beyond the usual level for their sport. However, the requirement to provide accommodation, training and sports facilities for so many horses, human athletes and spectators at the same time overwhelmed most organizers. This led to financial and organizational problems. Therefore, there were hardly any applicants for possible World Equestrian Games in the 2010s.
Stockholm 1990

Normandy 2014
The 2014 World Equestrian Games took place from 23 August to 7 September in the northern French region of Lower Normandy . A new addition to the program of the World Equestrian Games in 2014 is double vaulting (pas de deux).
The city of Caen was the main venue . The show jumping and dressage competitions were held in the Stade Michel-d'Ornano . The endurance rider's route was within sight of the famous monastery island of Mont-Saint-Michel , while the eventing riders competed in dressage and cross-country riding at the Haras du Pin stud . Two demonstration sports were held in Saint Lô and Deauville, horseball and polo .
Tryon 2018
On June 9, 2014, the FEI awarded the 2018 World Equestrian Games to Bromont, Canada. The venue was to be the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park, where most of the Olympic equestrian competitions were held in 1976 . In July 2016 it was announced that the organizers would have to terminate the contract with the FEI for financial reasons.
The FEI therefore re-awarded the World Equestrian Games in November 2016. The bid went to North Carolina in the United States of America. The 2018 World Equestrian Games were held here at the Tryon International Equestrian Center in Mill Spring, located in Polk County . The event was held from September 11th to September 23rd, 2018.
World Championships 2022
After organizational problems at the last two World Equestrian Games and a lack of applicants due to clear financial problems of almost all organizers of the previous World Championships, the FEI decided to deviate from the concept of the World Equestrian Games. Multisport world championships in eight disciplines were no longer required of the possible organizers.
At the FEI General Assembly 2019, the Danish city of Herning was awarded the contract for joint world championships in show jumping, vaulting, dressage riding and para-dressage riding. The other disciplines organize their own world championships, for example in eventing Pratoni del Vivaro in the area of the town of Rocca di Papa in the outskirts of Rome.
