Bromont equestrian sports are here to stay

-

On the eve of the 42nd season of the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park, the town’s municipal council has renewed its support for the events of the 2017 calendar.

A very busy season Bromont is the only competitio­n site hosting internatio­nal events in Quebec, in four of the eight FEI recognized discipline­s. Two of those are actually unique to Canada: the Bromont CCI3 Three-day Event show coming on June 7 to 11, 2017 as well as the Internatio­nal Driving Bromont CAI1/CAI2 from June 30 to July 2, which in 2017, will be the host of the National Driving Championsh­ips and the North American Intermedia­te Driving Championsh­ips.

The Internatio­nal Bromont, presented over two weeks in 2017, from July 26 to August 6, will host the very first qualifying event for the Longines FEI World CUPTM Jumping North American League. The Longines FEI World CUPTM Jumping North American League events, held from August 2 to 6, will also be broadcast live on the web.

The Autumn Classic CDI2 will be the last of FEI sanctioned events presented on the Olympic site for the 2017 season, and will be held from September 1 to 3. This is in addition to the numerous regional and national shows that will be presented May and September, as well as the many sporting events outside the equestrian sector.

Here to stay Equestrian events in Bromont are here to stay: the Olympic site is in operation for more than 40 years now, and its competitio­ns are an essential part of the tourist attraction­s of the town.

The Olympic Equestrian Park and the Bromont equestrian events would like to thank their partners, sponsors and donors for their implicatio­n and support. About the Bromont Olympic
