Kentucky One Step Closer to 2018 WEG Confirmation. Everyone Get Ready!
The word came out late yesterday that the British Equestrian Federation (BEF) has withdrawn their bid for the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games. I am not surprised as the BEF was making lots of stipulations on what they wanted changed about the Games in order for them to host and on the time schedule we now […]

8 Years Later!
I am not sure how many remember that it was this day 8 years ago when the announcement broke that Kentucky had been selected to host the 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games. And so the story began, like most there were moments when it didn’t look like we would make it, but in the end, […]

Look Forward & Always Remember What We Have!
John Nicholson's retirement is not a detriment to a winning bid in June...
One final resolution or maybe I should call it a proclamation. I still continue to believe that we will be successful in winning the bid to host the 2018 Games but if we are not it will not trouble me for a day because I will be working towards seeing us host at some other date in the future for Kentucky is the Horse Capital of the World as we have been blessed by the horse.

Bromont wins the 2018 Games!
So the announcement came out earlier today and as many of you can guess, my disappointment was significant. I really did believe in my heart and soul that we would win the bid to host the World Equestrian Games again in 2018 and even in my very logical brain I could easily support the argument for why Lexington was the logical choice.

2015 Year End Review: 10th Year
As I look back on 2015 I am reminded of why this site came into existence, ten years ago this month the announcement was made that Kentucky had won the right to host the 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games. As Lexington Kentucky is consider the Horse Capital of the World I dubbed them the Kentucky World Equestrian Games and launched this site as a means to put my talents to use supporting those and future Games. The 2010 Games are of course a bit more then 5 years in the past now though I still believe their impact is felt in this region.

Third Time’s a Charm, WEG 2018
I still have the one year to go poster hanging on my wall that says, "GET YOUR GAMES FACE ON.", its time to do it again Kentucky. The Games were a success the first time around, and they will be an even bigger success the second time because we have the experience and the passion. My slogan this time is going to be "Y'ALL COME BACK NOW", because people did come back to Kentucky after the Games last time so we should certainly invite them to come back after the second time.
