Test Events 2013

As the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Normandy project gains momentum, the Organising Committee is set to test various aspects of its organisation during preparatory events in August 2013. These events, which feature in the national and international calendar, though at a lower level than the main event in 2014, will take place in some of the official 2014 Games venues.

Foreign delegations can download the practical files concerning those 3 competitions below:

Endurance CEI** in Sartilly on August 16th 2013
Eventing CCI** in Le Pin National Stud and Caen from August 16th to August 18th 2013
Driving CAI-A4 in Caen from August 23rd to August 25th 2013

EVENTING CCI** IN LE PIN NATIONAL STUD & CAEN : August 16 - 18th 2013

The Eventing competition (CCI2* level) will take place in Le Pin National Stud and Caen from 16th to 18th August 2013.

This competition will be organised in a similar way to next year’s event, since the Dressage and Cross country phases will take place at Le PinNational Stud in the Orne, and the Showjumping will take place in Caen in Calvados (the only difference being that the jumping will be held in the SHUC instead of the Ornano Stadium).

The 50 competitors will therefore have the opportunity to ride part of the Le Pin National Stud’s brand new cross country course, which was inaugurated on 19th July.
