The Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park, which hosted the equestrian events of the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games, has in recent years undergone massive upgrades and is considered one of the best in North America.
You can expect very reasonable temperatures, great footing and some of the very best courses in the western hemisphere when attending Bromont.

For those riders who have yet to experience competition at Bromont, you’re in for a treat. Derek Di Grazia of Carmel Valley, California, FEI cross-country course designer at Bromont since 2009, will set a challenging track with the help of Canadian course builder Jay Hambly and his team, utilizing the spectacular hills and natural water features Bromont has to offer. Sue Ockendon, the event organizer, spares nothing to bring in the best officiating from around the world to provide each and every rider a true evaluation of their abilities.
In recent years the Bromont CCI has been a favourite location for both Canadian and US final team selection trials, developing athlete activities such as the USEF/USET Foundation North American Futures Team Challenge and the Bromont Rising Program.
