Kentucky WEG 2010
The 2010 World Equestrian Games (WEG) were held in the famous Horse Park, Kentucky, USA.
It was an incredible championships for Britain, who topped the WEG 2010 medal table with nine gold medals, seven silvers and three bronzes — winning 19 medals in total.
Among the numerous British highlights were eventing team gold and individual silver for William Fox-Pitt, dressage team silver plus two individual silver medals for Laura Bechtolsheimer (now Tomlinson), a hat-trick of para dressage gold medals for Lee Pearson and an individual gold for British vaulter Joanna Eccles.
Kentucky was the sixth running of the FEI World Equestrian Games, which brought together all of the FEI disciplines’ world championships into one international celebration of equestrian sport over a two-week period. The championships were plagued with financial problems and the concept was mothballed after the 2018 World Equestrian Games in Tryon, North Carolina, USA.
