Eight countries expressed their interest, and five of them became official candidates in 2012 : Rabat, Bromont, Budapest, Vienna and Wellington. Australia, Russia and Sweden withdrew before the official candidature phase. By 2013, four of the official candidates dropped out, leaving only Bromont in the running. However, instead of awarding the Games to Canada, FEI decided to re-open the bidding process on July 1, 2013, as the Bromont bid was lacking financial support. Bromont remained in the running and was joined by two USA candidates ( Wellington and Lexington ) as well as Great Britain. Great Britain and Wellington dropped out, leaving only Bromont and Lexington in contention. Bromont was finally awarded the hosting rights on June 9, 2014. Bromont withdrew from hosting in 2016, as the financial support was not secured. Following Bromont 's withdrawal, Tryon, North Carolina and Šamorín, Slovakia expressed their interest in hosting the event. Tryon was awarded the Games on November 3, 2016.
