Following the Eventing Committee’s proposal and FEI Bureau’s approval in June 2017, the FEI Classics™ Eventing is suspended as of 2018 for further review to integrate the new event classification and to allow redefinition of a series concept.
The FEI Classics™ was a series uniting the top end of the international Eventing circuit, namely the six four-star Eventing competitions currently on the calendar.
