With Hurricane Florence on everyone’s mind and the World Equestrian Games opening ceremony just hours away, H&H’s Pippa Roome checks in from Tryon
Tryon WEG 2018
The Tryon World Equestrian Games 2018 (WEG) were held in North Carolina in the United States from 10-23 September. Tryon WEG 2018 was the final time that all the FEI disciplines came together to form a WEG. From 2022 there have been separate world championships held every four years for the individual disciplines following an independent investigation into the financial viability of the concept.
