The International Equestrian Federation (FEI) has allocated the 2011 World Cup Dressage Finals to Leipzig, Germany. The Finals will take place 27 April to 1 May 2011 and will coincide with the World Cup Finals for show jumping and driving.
"It has never happened before that three World Cup Finals take place at the same location at once," said German Equestrian Federation president Sönke Lauterbach. "I'm convinced that the show will be a fun experience."
Leipzig has much experience organizing the World Cup event as it has been the host for the show jumping finals three times.
"The World Cup Finals will be a highlight of the winter season, especially for the spectators who will get to experience a great variety of equestrian sport," said German Dressage team trainer Holger Schmezer.
