An extraordinary equestrian event
The FEI World Equestrian Games are expected to draw 500,000 spectators.
In western North Carolina’s horse country, the historic small town of Tryon and surrounding communities are about to be put on the global map. The FEI World Equestrian Games, which will take place here from September 11 to 23, are expected to draw 500,000 spectators. That would be the highest attendance figure for any sporting event in the U.S. this year.
The quadrennial Games have previously been hosted in Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Germany, Kentucky, and most recently, France. A premier venue well prepared for this year’s influx, Tryon International Equestrian Center is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville and Charlotte, North Carolina, and Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina.
