20th Anniversary of the Stars of Pau, from November 4th to 7th 2010
The International Equestrian Federation has just confirmed the dates for the “Stars of Pau”: from November 4th to 7th 2010.
Once again Pau is part of the elite group of organizers of the CEC and hosts the final stage of the CCI 4 star circuit of the HSBC FEI Classics™.
For the 2010 program, the organizers, CEPP and Centaure Production, will hold the prestigious CIC**** event, the CCI** event, the Shetland pony competition and the sale of competition horses. The Domaine de Sers have arranged for numerous new events during the four days with new trade stand areas to satisfy even more visitors.
In January, we announced that the HSBC FEI World Cup Final was to have been organized in Pau in conjunction with the Final event of the HSBC FEI Classics™. However, The Alltech FEI world Equestrian Games™, Kentucky 2010, is being held very late this year (from September, 25th to October, 10th). This may push some riders to overexert their horses. So in order to ensure an outstanding competition and to preserve the horses’ welfare, the FEI has opted for a series with no final event and the standings points earned at each of the various events throughout the year, will count towards the final prize pot. This will benefit all riders and their horses travelling long distances to the event, and is a fairer system. What’s more this will have the advantageous effect of making the series more exciting by linking each event together, making it more meaningful. It’s an exceptional decision that the riders and organizers have fully endorsed.
NEWS :
• Saturday’s schedule will be totally reserved for the Cross Country: CCI** Cross Country in the morning and CIC**** Cross Country in the afternoon.
• Centaure Production is planning a larger trade stands area which can accommodate more exhibitors than last year.
