Tryon International Equestrian Center
On November 3, 2016, Federation Equestrian International (FEI) announced the selection of Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) in North Carolina as the host of the World Equestrian Games (WEG) 2018. The FEI Bureau unanimously agreed that the world games, held every four years in the middle of the Olympic cycle, should be awarded to TIEC.
TIEC is fully operational, including a third season of 37 weeks of spring, summer, fall events underway, and was a crucial addition to a network of licensed international equestrian competition venues and year-round Olympic caliber events in the U.S. This includes the Wellington Equestrian Center events in Palm Beach County, Florida; the Central Park Horse Show in New York; and the Colorado Horse Park near Denver. Managing Partner Mark Bellissimo and his partners own and operate this nationwide network.
