11th World University Equestrian Championship postponed to November 2014

Monday, March 10, 2014

(via Higher Education Sports Federation)

The local Organising Committee of the 2014 FISU World University Equestrian Championship has been informed by the Emirates Equestrian Federation (EEF) that all show jumping activities have been suspended by the Emirates Racing Authority until further notice, following an epidemic of equine influenza within the show jumping horse population. Given that FISU abides by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) veterinary regulations, the health and safety of all horses is a primary concern. Therefore, the FISU WUC Equestrian that was originally scheduled for 25-28 March, will not take place as planned on these dates and will be postponed. More information will be given about new dates on the event in the upcoming days. For more information, please contact the FISU World University Championships Department (championships@fisu.net).

NEW DATE: 
17-20 November 2014
