Venue Information:
As previously announced, due to COVID-19 restrictions in Washington, D.C., Capital One Arena remains closed and unable to host WIHS. In an effort to find an outdoor venue equipped to accommodate effective social distancing and abide by all CDC and USEF COVID-19 protocols, TIEC was selected as the 2020 location in cooperation with the Pennsylvania National Horse Show (PNHS) and US Equestrian (USEF).
“The organizations involved in making this happen worked tirelessly to seek out a venue that would not only offer the prestigious level of competition that WIHS is known for, but to also guarantee a safe competition environment,” said Victoria Lowell, President of WIHS. “We anticipate the same quality of competition that has become synonymous with WIHS in the past. WIHS is a cherished event on the North American show jumping scene, and we are dedicated to adapting to a changing environment and producing a safe and successful event for all those involved.”
The health and safety of WIHS exhibitors, staff, and sponsors is the top priority for WIHS in this unprecedented year. Safety protocols will be enacted to provide as contactless an experience as possible. To view TIEC’s complete COVID-19 action plan, click here.
