Short's Sports & Events, a division of Short's Travel Management, the official Housing Bureau for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games has developed a priority program for hotel accommodations for USDF members who purchased advance ticket rights for the world games.  This program will allow you to place a room reservation well in advance of the Games and prior to when most hotel reservations systems will be able to do so. 

 

Please follow these steps:

 1.     Click on this link:  Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me via email at [email protected].

 

2.     You will be asked to enter some personal information and general hotel request information, to include the approximate arrival and departure dates.  You will need to place a non-refundable deposit via major credit card, of which all but the administration fee will apply to the hotel room total. 

 

Once you have completed the online process, you will receive a confirmation of your registration via email.  This will be your receipt of payment as well.  You will not be able to select a specific hotel property at this time, but the data you enter allows the Housing Bureau to most efficiently manage the hotel room blocks amongst constituent groups such as you, the early hotel deposit attendee, the teams, media, sponsors, etc.

 

3.     The specific selection of hotel properties will begin April 27, 2009.  At that time you will have approximately three weeks to make a hotel selection.  The initial deposit amount (minus the administration fee) will be transferred to the hotel guaranteeing your reservation.  Again, please note that this deposit is non-refundable and will show on your statement as Short's Travel Management or PayPal.  Future deposit payments will be made directly to the hotel selected by you.
