While the World Equestrian Games—which brought together eight Fédération Equestre International world championships to one competition—no longer exist, the ECCO FEI World Championships, beginning this weekend, will host four sports: dressage, para-dressage, show jumping and vaulting. The best of the best will head to Herning, Denmark, Aug. 6-14 for the event.
