Although organizers originally offered the Challenge to FEI Pony, Junior, Young Rider as well as Advanced divisions, due to a lack of entries on the part of both countries only the Advanced division of the Challenge took place.

“It is very exciting to see these wonderful horses continuing on in their success,” said High Performance Chair Kim Goodyear. “We look forward to seeing them in the Grand Prix ring soon.”
