World Equestrian Games (WEG) excitement is potent at present. Teams have been named, sponsorship garnered and horses sweetly coerced into behaving impeccably until September 7th, the final day of the festival.

Since the inaugural event in Sweden in 1990, selection for the FEI World Equestrian Games has become a most sought-after position for all of the world’s leading equestrians. Riders, horses and trainers jostle for consideration, all the time mindful that selection is only the first step in a very long journey.
