They are actually real mascots.

Apparently, Tryon will simultanously host the inaugural WEQx Games. I guess they mean Equestrian X Games with that?

 

Anyway, these are the scheduled events:

U-25 U.S. Open Championship (Jumping)

U.S. Open Speed Horse (Jumping)

DerbyX (Hunter Derby)

Battle of the Sexes (Jumping)

Match Race (Jumping)

Puissance (Jumping)

Six Bar (Jumping)

Pony Jumpers (Jumping)

Gladiator Polo

 

Gladiator Polo seems to be basically 3x3 Polo. Maybe they want to get into the Olympics with this.

no, they're trying (seriously) with Winter Polo (played on snow)...

National selection processes are now in full swing. Denmark announced their dressage team long list.

 

Cathrine Dufour (Atterupgaards Cassidy)

Daniel Bachmann Andersen (Blue Hors Zack or Blue Hors Zepter)

Anna Zibrandtsen (Arlando)

Rikke Svane (Finckenstein)

Anders Dahl (Selten HW)

Anna Kasprzak (Rock Star)

Victoria Vallentin (Ludwig der Sonnenkonig)

Bettina Jager (Belstaff)

 

As expected, for the first time since 2011 Europeans Kasprzak's Donnperignon won't be on the team. Also no Agnete Kirk Thinggaard this time.

 

Dufour and Bachmann Andersen (on Zepter) could both be scoring over 80% by the WEG, which is quite exciting for Danish chances. However, their 3rd counting rider may be their undoing medal-wise...
