What's in a star?
Dear Friends and Partners,
Yesterday the FEI informed us that it is not allowed to organize a 4* or higher event during the same week as the European Championships, which will be held this coming year in Gothenburg, Sweden during the same weekend as our event. And although we do not understand the logic of this rule, it does mean that, if we want to continue to organize a 4* event we have to change dates; this something we are not prepared to do for several reasons.
We therefore have decided to lower our event to a 3* category (in combination with a 2* and 1*) but to keep our total price money as well as the amount of ranking classes at 6 like it was last year.
However disappointing this is for us as organizing committee, we feel that with this decision of keeping the total price money and ranking classes at the same level as last year, we will again be able to attract some of the world best riders and horses. We look forward to meet you all during our show in the last week of August 2017.
Victor Theeuwes
