Drivers engaged

The FEI Driving World Cup™ was launched in 2001, and Bordeaux was one of the events on that inaugural series!

The FEI World Cup Driving for 4-in-hand horses takes place exclusively in Europe, with 7 qualifying stages reserved for the top 10 drivers in the world.

These drivers choose their competitions in groups of 5.

It is important to note that a driver can only participate in 4 stages, and only the best 3 results are taken into account.

Competitors who earn points at each stage and the top 6 in the overall standings qualify for the final at the Jumping International de Bordeaux, which takes place on the evening of Saturday, February 3rd and Sunday, February 4th.

    
Once again this year, Jumping International de Bordeaux hosts the final of the FEI Driving World Cup™. This beautiful discipline, still too little known, is very popular in Bordeaux. 

Driving is one of the most fascinating disciplines of equestrian sport, and certainly one of the most spectacular. The world’s best drivers have made the trip to Bordeaux an annual pilgrimage, and never fail to put on a show! It takes an incredible amount of skill to drive four horses galloping at full pace, around a course littered with various obstacles.

These world's best driver sincerely appreciate the atmosphere in the arena of the Jumping International de Bordeaux, considered one of the finest locations in the world for competitive driving, and there is always competition for places even when Bordeaux is simply one of the qualifying events.
