Equestrian Sport Productions Withdraws Its 2018 WEG Bid

Following a meeting with senior FEI officials, Equestrian Sport Productions (ESP) has regretfully withdrawn their bid for the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG) related to a sponsor conflict.

Mark Bellissimo CEO of ESP commented, “I would like to thank the FEI for having the confidence in our organization and world-class facility to be part of the bidding and for taking the time to meet with us. While I believe we had a very strong technical bid and I am confident we could have run a very exciting, unique, and successful WEG, the marketing conditions would have precluded us from honoring our commitments to a valued sponsor. I would like to wish the remaining candidates the best of luck for this important championship.”
