The World Games 2010 Foundation is the organization responsible for planning and executing the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. The Games, which will be held at the Kentucky Horse Park, are the world championships of the eight equestrian disciplines recognized by the FEI and are held every four years.
The World Equestrian Games have never before been held outside of Europe; nor have all eight disciplines ever previously been held together at a single site— both firsts that will be achieved at the Kentucky Horse Park. The 2010 Games are expected to have a statewide economic impact of $150 million. It is anticipated that more than 600,000 spectators will attend the 16-day competition.
