Equestrian Center de Peelbergen in Kronenberg (NED) has informed the FEI that it will be unable to stage the European Pony Championships in dressage and eventing in 2025.
Kronenberg was allocated these multi-discipline Pony Championships by the FEI in June 2023. It will had hoped to host the show jumping leg of the Euros too, but didn't get it and is therefore not interested in hosting the non-profitable disciplines of dressage and eventing.
The FEI stated, "Kronenberg (NED) has informed the FEI that they are no longer in a position to host the Championships. Therefore, the bidding process for these two Championships has been re-opened. Bids for one or both disciplines will be considered."
Organising Committees and National Federations are invited to submit their bid online via the FEI Bidding Platform, no later than Wednesday, 23 October 2024.
The 2025 European Children and Junior Riders Championships are to be held in Le Mans (FRA), while the young riders and U25 will go to Kronberg (GER).
This is already the second Europeans Championships in Dressage that the FEI sees pulled from the 2025 calendar after Samorin bailed out on hosting the senior Euros. The FEI will need to go in search of two new hosts for next summer's championships.
