The preparations for the FEI European four-in-hand Championships in Izsák, Hungary, from 25 to 29 September are on schedule. Technical Delegate Marek Zaleski visited the event site last weekend and approved of the competition site, the stable area and the competitors camp site. Course designer Wolfgang Asendorf had to withdraw because he suffers from tinnitus, an ear disease. He will be replaced by Gábor Fintha.
