Two weeks to go until CHIO Aachen<\/strong><\/a>, one of the most prestigious events of the year! We are happy to announce that this year Vaulting World will be on site for you. Shortly we will let you know where and when to meet us exactly, so remember to stay connected with us via social networks.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But first of all we would like to give you some basics for the event:<\/span><\/p>\n

1) A bit of history<\/span><\/h4>\n

Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein (ALRV) is definitely the place to be from 13th to 22nd of July 2018, this is where the CHIO has been hosted since 1898 starting with horse racing and driving at that time as a German competition. The competition in 1925 was a great success due to the fact that they included more disciplines like jumping in about 19 competitions with 213 horses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two years later the event became international with the first \u201cGrand Prix of Aachen”<\/strong>. Another two years later the first Nations Cup was celebrated with 2500 entries from 11 nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

1921 the FEI was founded and introduced the term \u201cCHIO\u201d (Concours Hippique International Officiel). In 1933 CHIO Aachen was given the title.<\/span><\/p>\n

After WEG 2006 in Aachen the organisation added vaulting and eventing competitions to the existing jumping, dressage and driving competitions and since then we are happy to see 5 disciplines in a top-class event every year. <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2015 the FEI European Championships<\/strong> were held at that incredible location that has been growing and developing for years in Aachen. For the first time in the history of equestrian sports 5 disciplines combined their European Championships at one place at the same time. Definitely unique!<\/span><\/p>\n

With about 350.000 visitors in 10 days, 550 competing horses (950 including shows), 350 competing athletes from 30 nations and so many spectacular side events CHIO Aachen is one of the most popular international events for all disciplines.<\/span><\/p>\n
