EN’s Ultimate Guide to the FEI Eventing World Championships

It’s very nearly go time for another World Championships, and this time we’re taking things back to Germany and the historic CHIO Aachen grounds that exist as a veritable Disneyland for horse people.

Starting tomorrow (Wednesday), the eventing will get fully underway and we’ll be right here with you to keep you updated every step of the way. Our team this week consists of Sally Spickard and Tilly Berendt on site, Cheg Darlington handling live blogs, and Allie Heninger managing database updates and other odds and ends from home.

The best way to stay up to date with us here on EN is to keep this Ultimate Guide bookmarked, as we’ll update it at the end of each day with our latest coverage articles. You can also give us a follow on social media (@goeventing on Instagram, @eventingnation on Facebook) for more content all week long.

The Schedule

Here’s a look at the eventing schedule for this week! Scattered among the official competition times are also availabilities for lunging, training, hacking/galloping and jump schools throughout the week. Each discipline is designated a specific area of Allianz Park for training or lunging, so if you’re attending in person you’ll want to keep an eye on the various schooling rings and warm-ups for a sighting of your favorites!

As for competition, here’s your timetable. Further drawn orders and ride times will eventually be available here.

How to Watch and Follow

There is only one live stream platform you’ll need for all of the action across disciplines, and that’s ClipMyHorse.TV which now houses FEI.TV. You will need a subscription to access both live and on-demand action, and so far we have not seen advertisement of an event-specific pass. Of course, if you’ve got a membership already (unfortunately, a connected free USEF Fan Account will not qualify you to access this stream), go ahead and log in to enjoy. You can view all options for viewing here.
