The historic event will take place from the 23- 26 August alongside the George Agricultural Show.
Over 40 countries competed in various events in order to qualify for the World Cup.
This is the 4th ITPF Tent pegging World Cup ever to be hosted.
Nine of the best countries, including South Africa will play for the World Cup Trophy that arrived in George over the weekend.
The sport of Tentpegging, formerly known as Gymkhana, involves swords and lances, with which the rider has to strike an object at a full gallop.
The bond of trust between horse and rider has no boundaries.
To successfully strike an object that is driven into the ground or hanging from an overhead gallows construction, calls for the rider to focus on the object and to strike it without having to distract his concentration by shifting his attention to his horse.
Once a rider commences an event, the emphasis is on the object and not on his horse.
Tentpegging calls for a well-schooled horse that will respond to commands instantaneously and have no fear of noise or sudden movements.
A high standard of riding skill is required to gallop a horse at full speed and maintain posture as judges award points for the style and accuracy with which objects are struck or retrieved.
Tent pegging is a cavalry sport that involves a horse and rider galloping at full speed as the rider picks up a peg with a sword or lance.
