Last year’s Strzegom Horse Trials saw 239 riders representing 18 countries and nearly 270 horses.<\/p>\n
The trials were previously held in conjunction with the FEI World Cup Eventing Series, but a format change in 2012 launched the FEI Nations Cup Eventing Series. The Strzegom Trials have been part of the Nations Cup since it was launched. The only exception was 2013 due to poor weather conditions.<\/p>\n
This year’s trials will be held nearly a month after last year’s event, but will once again take place at the 14 Pu\u0142k U\u0142an\u00f3w Jaz\u0142owieckich Hippodrome in Morawa.<\/p>\n
Horses have long been a part of Strzegom’s history. It was here that the Strzegom Horse Stud was founded in the 1950s, specializing in breeding the Silesian horse and Thoroughbreds.<\/p>\n
