We are just a couple of days away from kicking off eventing at CHIO Aachen, a prestigious 10-day festival that takes place in west Germany, just over the Dutch border. Eventing is just one of several disciplines represented throughout this spectator-heavy event (Aachen attracts something like 350,000 spectators each year), and we’ll see things get underway on Thursday with the horse inspection, followed by two days of competition. Dressage and show jumping will take place on Friday, with the eventers getting a chance to jump under the lights in the main stadium, followed by cross country as the final phase on Saturday.
The Players
CHIO Aachen always attracts a star-studded list of entries, and this year is no different. The U.S. has sent an A-team of Olympians and 2021 Aachen individual winners Will Coleman and Off the Record, but they’ll nonetheless have a run for their money with heavy-hitter nations like Great Britain and New Zealand also sending strong contingents.
