BRITISH equestrian bodies have welcomed the news that showjumping and dressage European Championships will run next year – although eventing and para dressage miss out.
H&H reported that the European Equestrian Federation (EEF) had been pushing for the showjumping championships; the FEI had cancelled the 2021 Europeans in all Olympic and Paralympic disciplines owing to a clash with the rescheduled Tokyo Games (news, 2 and 30 July).
The FEI reconsidered, and after a board meeting last week, it committed to allocate the jumping and dressage to German venues. The showjumping will run at Riesenbeck from 30 August to 4 September, and the dressage at Hagen, from 7 to 12 September. Both are awaiting final confirmation from organisers.
British Showjumping (BS) CEO Iain Graham told H&H that BS, British Dressage and the World Class programme were “very supportive” of having the Europeans as well as the Olympics and Paralympics.
