Las Vegas Events (LVE) will once again host the FEI World Cup Finals in both show jumping and dressage at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, April 15-19, 2009.

This will mark the fifth time that Las Vegas hosts the FEI World Cup Finals and only the third time ever, following two previous times in Las Vegas in 2005 and 2007, that the world's premier annual championships in the two Olympic equestrian disciplines are held concurrently.

In April, 2007, more than 85,000 spectators attended the Rolex FEI World Cupâ„¢ Jumping and Dressage Finals. The success of that event, combined with the success of the Finals held in Las Vegas in 2000, 2003 and 2005, precipitated the return of the Finals to Las Vegas in 2009.

Las Vegas's groundbreaking presentation of show jumping and dressage together engendered unprecedented interest in the Finals by spectators and also proved a huge hit with the riders. "I don't think our sport has ever been so well received as it was at the FEI World Cup Finals in Las Vegas," said 2003 FEI World Cup Dressage champion Debbie McDonald of Hailey, Idaho. "I believe that the Finals in Las Vegas provided an incredible boost for our sport."

Started in 1979, the FEI World Cup Jumping Final is an annual international showdown among the world's best show jumping horses and riders. Approximately 45 riders qualify from 13 leagues around the world. In the 29 finals held through 2007, United States riders have emerged with the most titles, having won the championship seven times. The 2008 FEI World Cup Jumping Final is being held in Gothenburg, Sweden.
