CHIO Aachen 2020 has been postponed to a later date in the year, due to the coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak. The new date for the event will be announced as soon as it has been finalised.
“For quite some time now, we have already been in intense communication with the International Equestrian Federation FEI, the German Equestrian Association, the authorities and our partners,” said Frank Kemperman, Chairman of the Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein e.V. (ALRV), organisers of the CHIO Aachen, and Michael Mronz, General Manager of the CHIO marketing company, the Aachener Reitturnier GmbH (ART), in a press release.
The original venue date at the beginning of June cannot be adhered to. “It makes no sense to stick to the planned date, the current and future health and safety of all persons involved in the show has absolute priority for us,” Kemperman said. "Our primary goal is thus now to organise the CHIO Aachen at a later date in the year."
