Friday, September 14, 10pm (EST):

Dear Ticket Holders,?Our goal is to ensure the safety of all WEG attendees.

The latest weather forecast from the National Weather Service, which has an onsite weather station here at the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC), shows heavy rain starting on Saturday evening through Sunday. As a result, it is planned to move the final Jumping phase for Eventing to Monday 17 September (starting time to be confirmed).

Saturday’s cross country remains unaffected and will start at 11am (Sunday 1am, AEST) as planned, but the interval between horses will be reduced from four to three minutes. The cross country distance is unchanged at 5,700 meters but there are modifications to two fences (23A and 24B).

Saturday’s individual Reining Final will be brought forward to 3pm (Sunday, 5am AEST).

Depending on further official weather updates, it is the intention to reschedule Sunday’s Dressage Freestyle to Monday. The Dressage horse inspection for the 15 horses qualified for the Freestyle will remain unchanged at 8am tomorrow (15 September).

Starting times for the Dressage Freestyle, Eventing horse inspection and Eventing Jumping will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Ticket holders will be notified by email and social media. Tickets for the Sunday competitions, including VIP hospitality, will be honored on Monday.

Any further updates will be posted on the Tryon2018.com website.

For additional questions about tickets, please contact tickets@tryonweg.com or visit Cabin 10B at Tryon International Equestrian Center.

We apologize for any convenience, but stress that safety is our top priority.

Sincerely,?Tryon 2018 Organizing Committee
