If Harveywetdog did Wikipedia

In April 2020 and in the interest of legacy I wrote a Wikipedia entry recording the thoughts and notable works of Harveywetdog. I admit I was ignorant of the rules concerning self promotion on Wikipedia and consequently my entry was correctly deleted and my account expunged from the system. As a result my original words and links were sadly lost but nevertheless here is a rewrite. Perhaps when I'm gone someone will be able to enter it onto Wikipedia as a fitting epitaph for my time on the Harveywetdog Project.

BICTON TO HOST THE BRITISH LEG OF THE 2025 FEI EVENTING NATIONS CUP™

The British leg of the FEI Eventing Nations Cup™ 2025 is to be hosted at Bicton, Devon (GBR) 22 - 25 May.


Helen West, Co-Director at Bicton comments, “We are thrilled to have been awarded the GBR leg of this annual team competition. The COVID pandemic provided an opportunity for Bicton to showcase just what it can achieve when we hosted the one-off CCI5* Burghley replacement. 2023 saw the inaugural running of the CCI4*-S in May, which has now become an established “go to” event for many riders. It therefore seems fitting for the GBR leg of this prestigious FEI series to be awarded to Bicton and we look forward to putting on a top-class competition for as many nations as possible.”

The British leg was formerly hosted at Chatsworth International Horse Trials, who have recently taken the decision to sit out the 2025 season. The FEI Nations Cup™ series is equestrian sport’s oldest and most prestigious team challenge, with national teams from around the globe competing for one of the most coveted prizes in this Olympic discipline.

The series aims to unite nations and foster lifelong enthusiasm for the world of horses. Its global format means that more countries can host qualifiers at world-class venues and aim to win the FEI Nations Cup™ title by acquiring qualifying points according to their placings.
