The highlight event of the week will be the prestigious and highly-anticipated $130,000 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Washington, presented by Events DC, for the President's Cup on Saturday evening, Oct. 29. During Saturday's world-class show jumping competition will also be the President's Cup Party at 7 p.m. in the Acela Club on the Sky Box level of the Verizon Center.
WIHS invites guests to wear their best equestrian chic and join Washington D.C.'s elite business, diplomatic and community leaders, as well as a number of 2016 Rio Olympic equestrian athletes, for a night of socializing, sophistication and show jumping to benefit the USET Foundation.
The USET Foundation is a vital part of equestrian sport in the United States. For more than 65 years, equestrian athletes have represented the United States in international competition, bringing home medals that have clearly established the United States as among the world's equestrian elite. However, the costs of fielding international teams are enormous. Training, coaching and transporting of human and equine athletes around the world in order to compete against the sport's best athletes is made possible thanks to contributions made to the USET Foundation.
Tickets to the President's Cup Party include dinner and an open bar and provide a wonderful vantage point for watching the action in the ring - combining the excitement of top-level equestrian sport with exemplary hospitality.
The USET Foundation is a nonprofit organization that supports the competition, training, coaching, travel and educational needs of America's elite and developing international and high-performance horses and athletes in partnership with the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF).
