It was 1998

“This is exciting news,” says Equestrian Sports New Zealand chief executive Vicki Glynn.
The final
will be held Manfeild Park’s indoor arena in Feilding,

The news has also been welcomed
by ESNZ Dressage Board chair Karen Trotter.
“The possibility to host the final here after nearly two decades will be a fantastic opportunity for the increasing numbers of New Zealand based Grand Prix riders to experience the thrill of competing in a FEI Pacific League World Cup Final,” says Ms Trotter.
“We hope Australian riders will support the event and we look forward to welcoming them to New Zealand for what will be a world-class event.”
Mary Seefried, chair of the Australian Dressage
Committee, said New Zealand currently had a strong group of
Grand Prix combinations
“It promises to a great event
in a proven venue to showcase the
sport.”
