Foshay International CCI

Didn’t see a post on this event so I thought I’d start one! :smiley:

I was kinda disappointed that there was nothing on the Eventing Nation web page or Facebook page with any sort of update etc. I wasn’t able to go up this time around to watch but it’s definitely on my list of events to go see :slight_smile:

Right!! Unbelievable EN hasn’t sent someone up there or done a single post on it.

This is an event who has a goal of becoming a destination event, and one of the few FEIs in Canada. It would be nice if not only EN but some other media outlets could give them a little publicitiy!

I was so hoping to go this year but it just didn’t line up right for us, next year fingers crossed I will go for the 1*!

I went there (many, many, many) years ago for the CPC National Rally [okay, it was 1988!]. It was so beautiful then, and I’m sure it’s only got better! The Stevensons were absolutely wonderful hosts.

EN did a post to get excited (https://eventingnation.com/10-reasons-to-get-excited-about-foshay-international-2019/) and another about how to get there (https://eventingnation.com/heading-to-canada-for-foshay-7-tips-for-easy-border-crossing-2/), but I haven’t seen any coverage since. Hopefully now that Day 1 is nearly done they will add something?

I have been following live scores as always, but more excitingly if you like the page they live stream quite a bit. You can watch the jogs, they have done a few tests, and they streamed some talks and question-and-answer session over the last few days as well.

I’m at Foshay volunteering (just scribed dressage today). Beautiful property!

I walked the courses yesterday and took photos of all the jumps. I tagged the FB group “Ontario Cross Country Courses” so if you join that group you can see all 4 courses (CCI2, CCI1, Prelim, and EV 105). Sorry they’re a bit dark - it rained all day yesterday. I think if I try to post the links here the post won’t get approved?

Weather is fantastic now and footing is good - walked the CCI2 course again today with Rob Stevenson.

@fanfayre it’s a different property now (although close to the old one)! Right on the river.

@Marigold they’ll be posting the course walk with Rob if they haven’t already. I was told it will be on YouTube since it’s a long video.

Today was just the most beautiful weather for XC day! Only 2 E and both were due to stops, no falls.

Afterwards there was a Q and A with Rob Stevenson and Jay Hambly. We learned that the plan is to have a 3* course ready for 2021 (after Jay is done with the Tokyo Olympics), and that next year should have a live stream!
