The 2025 FEI Sports Forum discussed the upcoming Olympics in LA in 2028, with a decision on the venue for the equestrian competition expected soon. For eventing to be included in LA, all phases must run at the same venue as showjumping and dressage. British Olympic gold medal-winning rider Ben Maher won a major class in the US despite breaking his foot in a freak accident two days prior.
A horse bought for £1, Definite Dilemma, won the mixed open at the Crawley & Horsham point-to-point with his 58-year-old jockey Phil York. The horse has won three of his four pointing starts this season and is improving. Ben Maher, riding Point Break, triumphed in the Adequan WEF Challenge at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington International, despite his foot injury.
The FEI president mentioned that a final decision on the venue for the equestrian competition in LA is expected soon. Ben Maher competed and won a major class in the US with a broken foot. Definite Dilemma, a horse bought for £1, won the mixed open at a point-to-point event.
