Las Vegas er ved at skabe en tradition for afvikling af dobbelte World Cup finaler. Den først fik spillebyen i Nevadas ørken tilbage i 2004 - igen i år var vi i Las Vegas for at afgøre World Cup finalen i både dressur og springning. Det kan man iøvrigt læse meget mere om i Ridehestens majnummer. Nu har spillebyen igen tildelt en dobbelt World Cup finale - i 2009.
