The U.S. Equestrian Federation board of directors has named a short list of host venues for a new CCI**** eventing competition. Following extensive review and analysis of each proposal by the CCI**** Task Force, the Eventing Committee, the International Disciplines Council and the board of directors, it was concluded that, due to changes in location and date related to the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games, the inaugural CCI**** event will be held in the autumn of 2019.
