The Final US League Finals About to Begin in Burbank

League Finals A Concept Which Originated in the USA

Thinking about the League Finals, she says that the event has really helped the sport to grow, giving spectators a chance to meet some of the horses and riders that represent the United States in international competition. For the riders, she says, there is something planned every morning and evening, more of a European feel.

Glenda is, of course, also organizer of the dressage portion of World Cup -Las Vegas, as she was in 2005. More to the point, she helped create and facilitate the idea that the two Finals--show jumping and dressage--could be held at the same venue..

"In the back of my mind," she says, "I really thought putting dressage with the jumping and having both finals would enhance each other. We all started talking about it, and contacted Las Vegas Events and we were all very happy with the results."

Now, of course, the FEI has agreed to accept bids to hold the Finals together in Europe. "For a change something came from here first!" says Glenda.
