Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Hickstead All England Jumping Course in West Sussex, United Kingdom, focusing on STRI's (Sports Turf Research Institute's) involvement in the 2010 tournament preparations and subsequent renovation of the course. States that "working closely with the Federation Equestre International (FEI), STRI was able to state clear performance parameters using 'STRI developed' objective ground testing." Details the planning and eventual renovation of the facility, providing a week-by-week schedule. Concludes that "the key performance benchmarks established during the 2010 events have become our target whilst [while] working with the changing characteristics of the new surface." |
