The World Equestrian Games are comprised of the world championships for eight equestrian sports. The Games are held every four years, two years prior to the Olympic Games, and are governed by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI).

The 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games will represent an unprecedented opportunity for the equine industry to showcase itself, in a variety of ways, to spectators from around the globe. Equine organizations such as breed and discipline organizations, as well as others, will have the opportunity to be prominently featured during 2010 Games in the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games Equine Village.

The non-profit National Walking Horse Association will participate in the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games Equine Village and in the Demonstration Entertainment venue. On behalf of the National Walking Horse Association we will produce the highest level of demonstrations and entertainment so that we will be artistically, technically, and commercially successful in order to elevate the walking horse in America and showcase the National Walking Horse Association.
