World Championships in Horseback Archery Eventing, 2023

Following postponements and cancellations due to the Covid pandemic, the second IHAA World Championships was held in Mongolia in September 2023.

Horsearchers from 19 countries took part during 4 days of competition; in the Raid 235, Tower 90 and Hunt track events of the Horseback Archery Eventing discipline, and in the organisers’ choice of the Mongolian Ball Hunt track.
