                      Willkommen in Aachen

                                                Dear Media Representatives,

                                                Friends of the equestrian sport know immediately what the term “Con-
                                                cours Hippique International Officiel” stands for. Our CHIO of course.
                                                Like so many terms in the equestrian sport, this one also is derived from
                                                the French language, because France has always been an equestrian
                                                sport nation par excellence. Which makes it even more wonderful that
                                                in addition to the four-legged stars this special country is playing a ma-
                                                jor role at the Soers in 2019. Why? Because “La France” is the partner
                                                country of this year’s CHIO Aachen! Among others, the Cadre Noir,
                                                France’s most famous riding school and the Garde Républicaine will
                                                enchant the incredulous crowd during the spectacular, floodlit Ope-
                                                ning Ceremony. But of course we will also experience equestrian sport
                                                in all its facets throughout the ten days of the show – at no less than
                                                world-class level. Each single discipline, whether it be show-jumping,
                  dressage, eventing, driving or vaulting, will provide unforgettable moments. Once again this year,
                  around 350,000 CHIO visitors will be present in the stadiums live. Aachen is simply Aachen. Unique
                  and fascinating.

                  The CHIO Aachen has also long since become a media event. This is, dear media representatives, pre-
                  dominantly thanks to your coverage. Whether classic or digital: You carry the occurrences, emotions

                                                                 four Rolex Grand Prix staged there are alone endowed
                                                                 with prize-money totalling 5 million Euros – and on top
                                                                 of this the riders also have the opportunity of picking

                                                                 by no means the sole criteria for being part of the Rolex

                                                                 crowds, media presence and the infrastructure of the

                                                                 Rolex Grand Slam is the targeted promotion of aspiring
                                                                 young talents.
                                                                 The system of the Rolex Grand Slam is simple: The rider,
                                                                 who succeeds in winning three shows in succession,
                                                                 receives 1 million Euros in addition to the prize-money.
                                                                 If the rider subsequently also claims the victory in the
                                                                 fourth Major in a row, he collects a further bonus of 1
                                                                 million Euros. Anyone, who wins two out of four Majors
                  also picks up a bonus. If the shows are won in direct succession, the bonus totals 500,000 Euros. If
                  the athlete is successful in the “two-out-of-four mode”, but not at two consecutive shows, the bonus
                  amounts to 250,000 Euros.
                  It is always the rider, who counts, in terms of winning the bonus, which means it is also possible to do
                  so riding different horses. This system is not coupled with a calendar year, it is infinite.
                  At the CHIO Aachen 2019, the focus particularly lies on two show-jumpers: Because the Egyptian
                  rider Sameh El Dahan and Sweden’s
                  Henrik von Eckermann could write
                  history with a victory in the Rolex Grand
                  Prix, the Grand Prix of Aachen. Von
                  Eckermann, because he can continue his
                  personal Grand Slam after his triumph
                  in `s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands
                  and El Dahan, because he has his sights
                  set on the “two-out-of-four” bonus. El
                  Dahan namely rode to victory at Spruce
                  Meadows in September.

                1.) SAP-Cup
                Dressage Test (Day 1, Friday, 19th July 2019):

                The eventers and their horses have to accomplish their first competition in the 20
                x 60 metre sand dressage arena in the Deutsche Bank Stadium. Three judges, the so-called „Ground
                Jury“, mark the movements that have to be completed, from different positions around the arena
                (C, H and B). A maximum of 10 points can be awarded for each of the movements, which differ from
                each other in their complexity - among others the obedience of the horse, the precision, the move-
                ments of the horse as well as the rider‘s seat and correctness of aids are evaluated.
                Test to be absolved from memory: FEI 2015 3* B
                The mean value ensuing from the assessment of the three judges expresses the quality of
                the ride and is displayed to the spectators as a percentage. In addition - unlike in the spe-
                cialised field of dressage - this result is then converted into minus points, which can later be
                added together to form the end result after the jumping and cross-country competitions.
                The respective judge calculates the minus points as follows: (Percentage -100) x 1.5 The co-ef-
                ficient 1.5 was laid down by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI).

through the meadows of the Aachen Soers, directly next to the CHIO show grounds - so the
spectators can easily reach it on foot. The competition’s start takes place in the Soers meadows,
the finishing line is located inside the CHIO’s Main Stadium
After dressage and jumping, the penalty points are added, they are decisive for the starting order
of the cross country competition. The 20 best riders start last. The competition has to be accom-
plished within a predetermined time (ideal average time 570 m/minute), and time penalties are
added to the result for exceeding time (0.4 for every commenced second). 25 natural obstacles
have to be jumped by the horses and their riders with nearly 35 efforts (single jumps). In com-
parison to the specialised sport of show jumping, not only the height and width of the obstacles
are different, but the eventing horses and riders are also confronted with further difficulties that
challenge the mutual trust and the balance, this can be optical aspects (narrow obstacles, bright-
ness changes between dark and light passages, water obstacles) or the course‘s route (e.g. uphill/
downhill). It is customary to offer an alternative route for difficult phases of demanding courses
- as is the case in Aachen. The alternative route is easier to overcome and thus minimises the risk
of the horse refusing, but it is longer than the direct way and thus takes more time.

Guideline for calculating the results of the cross-country competition:
          Error                                       Faults
          1st Refusal at an obstacle                  20 Penalty Points
          2nd Refusal at the same obstacle            40 Penalty Points
          3rd Refusal                                 Disqualification
          Fall of the rider                           Disqualification
          Fall of the horse                           Disqualification

Calculation of the Final Results:
The penalty points incurred in all three competition parts are added together for the final result. The
competitor with the lowest total of penalty points wins.

                                                                                                    29

Over the period of two decades, the “Moments of
Luck” campaign has established itself at the CHIO
Aachen as a successful charity project for therapeutic
riding. “This campaign is a matter close to our hearts,”
the ALRV President, Carl Meulenbergh emphasised.
“In this way with the aid of the CHIO Aachen visitors
we are able to hand over a high sum of donations to
the German Curatorship for Therapeutic Riding year
after year. We will strive to continue this success sto-
ry.”
The campaign is a joint project between the Aachen-
Laurensberger Rennverein e. V. (ALRV), the German
Curatorship for Therapeutic Riding (DKThR) and the
Children Support Fund of the DKThR.
On Soers Sunday (July 14th), donations will be collected during the Ecumenical Service

CHIO Aachen

               CHIO Aachen             der CHIO = Concours Hippique International Officiel (french)
                                       Official international tournament of the Federal Republic of Ger-
   2019

                                       many (the status "official" means that Aachen is the only German
                                       tournament that is allowed to organise Nations' Cup competitions)
               Special Features 2019   In 2013, the CHIO Aachen initiated the "Rolex Grand Slam of Show
                                       Jumping" together with the Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’ (Canada)
                                       and CHI Geneva (Switzerland). In the year 2018, this initative was
                                       expanded to include the "Dutch Masters" in 's-Hertogenbosch, the
                                       largest indoor show in the Netherlands. The rider, who wins three
                                       three shows in direct succession, claims the title, which is unique
                                       in the field of equestrian sports. In addition to the prize money, he
                                       receives 1 million Euros. If the rider then succeeds in continuing on
                                       his succuss story by winning the fourth Major, he additionally claims
                                       a further bonus of 1 Million Euros. Scott Brash was the first rider
                                       ever to claim the Rolex Grand Slam title in 2015.

                                       At the CHIO Aachen 2019, in its capacity as the official partner
                                       country, France will demonstrate that it certainly does its reputation
                                       as a “horse nation” justice. Not only top French riders will be travel-
                                       ling to Aachen this year for the World Equestrian Festival, but also
                                       numerous performers, who will be co-shaping the supporting pro-
                                       gramme throughout the ten days of the show. For example, both the
                                       spectacular “Horse & Symphony” concerts as well as the Opening
                                       Ceremony on the evening of July 16th, starting at 8 p.m., will be cha-
