Equestrian Accepting Bids To Host New CCI****
|
The
USA Equestrian Eventing Committee proposes the addition of a second
four-star, three-day event to be held in the fall of 2005. The
United States already hosts one of the four annual CCI**** offered
throughout the world. The Rolex CCI**** is held in the spring
at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. The level of
quality of this competition is what the Eventing Committee is
hoping to replicate in the new Fall CCI****. All bids are welcome
and will not be restricted to existing competitions. Organizers
or interested groups should send a letter of interest to USA Equestrian,
attention Elizabeth Rabinowitz, no later than Friday June 28,
2002. The bid document will be sent in response to letters of
interest. All bids must be completed and submitted to USA Equestrian
no later than Tuesday July 30, 2002. Candidate organizing committees
will have to submit an advertising and promotions proposal to
ensure that this competition is given the prestige it deserves.
Prize money (amount to be determined) will be required. For more
information please contact Elizabeth Rabinowitz at erabinowitz@equestrian.org.
