U.S. Withdraws from 2021 FEI Driving World Championship for Ponies

The U.S. will not be sending any drivers to the 2021 FEI Driving World Championship for Ponies, which is scheduled for September 16-19 at Le Pin au Haras in France. After careful consideration, the four qualified athletes each opted to withdraw due to rising uncertainties around COVID-19 and international travel restrictions and expense. Their decisions were not made lightly as they worked extremely hard leading up to this season. We hope to see them back again for future U.S. Team selection.
