300 people came out to show their support in spite of only having a few weeks’ notice,” said Deborah Kinzinger, cre- ator of C-DAAP. “With the support of Equine Canada, Dressage Canada, and our community at large, I will do what I can to help raise funds for our Canadian riders, at all levels. It is an exciting time for the dressage community in Canada. A new feeling of cooperative spirit is in the air, and an enthusiasm for work- ing together towards a com- mon goal has been rekindled.”

Games™ 2018 The FEI has received formal Expres-
host the 2018 Games in Bromont/Mon- treal. The FEI Bureau opted not to allo- cate the Games to Canada at its July meeting after the Canadian delegation was unable to provide the full public sector financial support required. As a result, the Bureau re-opened the bidding process for 2018, but expressed the hope that Canada would confirm its decision to continue in the bidding process. The Bureau made it clear at the time that any follow-up bid from Canada would be evaluated in the same way as other applicants. The Bid Applicant Questionnaires
will be reviewed by the FEI Evaluation Commission at FEI Headquarters before the host city candidates are announced on 2 December 2013. In the final stage of the bidding pro-
cess, the Candidates will formerly pre- sent their bids to the FEI Bureau at its spring 2014 meeting, after which the host city for the FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018 will be announced. “The FEI World Equestrian Games
is our flagship event, appealing to huge global audiences of equestrian enthusi- asts and sports fans, and these expres- sions of interest by Great Britain and the USA alongside Canada are testament to the power of these Games”, FEI Secre- tary General Ingmar de Vos said. “ We are now looking forward to receiving the Bid Applicant Question- naires next month, to naming the candi- dates in December and ultimately of course to announcing the host city for the FEI World Equestrian Games 2018 next year”.
