weg official farriers
The American Farrier’s Association will serve as the Official Farriers of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.
LEXINGTON, KY- The World Games 2010 Foundation today announced that the American Farrier’s Association has been named the Official Certified Farriers of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.
As the Official Certified Farriers, the American Farrier’s Association will provide a farriery on the venue grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park from September 11 until October 10, 2010. Two farriers will be on site per day for the two weeks prior to the Games, and up to six farriers will be on site daily during the 16 days of competition, depending on the event schedule. Athletes will be charged on an individual basis for farrier services according to their needs.
The Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, to be held at the Kentucky Horse Park September 25-October 10, 2010, are the world championships of the eight equestrian disciplines recognized by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), and are held every four years. The Games have never before been held outside of Europe, nor have all eight disciplines ever previously been held together at a single site- both firsts that will be achieved at the Kentucky Horse Park. The 2010 Games are expected to have a statewide economic impact of $150 million.
It is anticipated that more than 600,000 spectators will attend the 16-day competition.
