ANNUAL 

REPORT 2009

Last year, the recommendations of the Ljungqvist and 

Stevens Commissions laid out a clear roadmap for improving 

governance and compliance issues, opening the way for a 

new era of Clean Sport. In 2009, the FEI continued to work 

on education, the professionalisation of more roles in the 

sport and the need to redefi ne protocols. The FEI family’s 

overwhelming support for the recommendations and its 

endorsement of the new Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled 

Medication Regulations mean that we can now take concrete 

action that will benefi t our athletes, our community and 

our public. I would like to thank Lord Stevens and Professor 

Ljungqvist for paving the way to ensuring the removal of 

improper practices from our sport. 

I would also like to thank our sponsors – Alltech, HSBC and 

Rolex – for their precious support and loyalty. This year, the 

FEI was also proud and delighted to enter into a partnership 

with Meydan, the company behind the world’s fi rst integrated 

equine, leisure, entertainment and business development in 

Dubai. Their sponsorship of the FEI Nations Cup was a very 

special gift to the event in its 100th anniversary year, which 

was marked by a truly exciting series of competitions that led 

to the French team’s overall victory. Although Italy fi nished 

the eight-leg Meydan FEI Nations Cup series in eighth place, 

newly-appointed chef d’equipe Markus Fuchs demonstrated 

great leadership skills by guiding his team to a remarkable 

victory at the fi nal event in Dublin. 

This was also the year in which some wonderful new talents 

were confi rmed. Kevin Staut’s performance with Kraque 

Boom Bois Margo at the Alltech FEI European Jumping and 

Dressage Championships at Windsor in August enabled 

France to celebrate its fi rst individual European title for ten 

years. Meanwhile, the sensational Dutch duo of Edward Gal 

and Moorlands Tortillas re-set freestyle world records three 

times and, in December, scored an impressive 92.30% at the 

fourth leg of the FEI World Cup Dressage Series in London. 

In August, the FEI’s fi rst Year of Youth began, with the aim of 

giving a voice to the new generation of riders. I am happy to 

say that their voice is strong and passionate and that their 

hopes are high. When the fi rst Youth Olympic Games take 

place in Singapore this August, the world will witness just

PRESIDENT 

how much young people can achieve through dedication 

and determination. I am convinced that the performances 

of the competitors will serve to inspire and motivate other 

young riders. 

Equestrian heroes in fi ve categories were celebrated at the 

revamped FEI Awards in Copenhagen in November. I would 

like to congratulate Wendy Gidlow from Africa (Alltech 

Development Award), Alex Hua Tian, from China (HSBC Rising 

Star Award), Michelle Robson, Australia (Best Groom Award) 

and Darlene Milord, Haiti (Against All Odds Award) and 

inspirational rider Meredith Michaels Beerbaum, Germany, 

who took the award for Best Athlete. We hope that when 

the awards are launched in 2010, the response to our call for 

nominees will match this year’s, which went far beyond our 

expectations, with over 1,300 nominations from the global 

equestrian community. It is an honour for the FEI to be able 

to pay tribute to those who personify the passion, dedication 

and determination that are, and must remain, the core values 

of our sport. 

I would like to express my gratitude to the Executive and of 

course to the Volunteer Body for their continual and unstinting 

dedication. 2010 looks set to be a challenging but exciting 

year and their support will be vital. My warmest thoughts also 

go to the organisers and sponsors of all the events in 2010, 

which will once again showcase equestrian excellence. I wish 

all the riders the very best of luck and hope that everybody 

involved will enjoy great sporting moments conducted in the 

very best spirit of horsemanship, with Clean Sport and Fair 

Play as the guiding lights.

SECRETARY 

GENERAL’S 

REPORT 

For the FEI, 2009 has been a challenging year, but ultimately 

one that has seen effective steps taken to ensure that equestrian 

sport continues to develop with integrity, fair-play and equine 

welfare as its guiding principles. 

Although the economic crisis took its toll on many companies 

and organisations, the FEI was able to report a positive balance 

for the fi nancial year 2009. Not only did our commercial 

revenue increase by 26%, the number of international events 

organised in all our disciplines rose, totalling 2,683, compared 

to 2,404 in 2008. 

Regular, fl uent communication is essential to the FEI’s 

commitment to better serving NFs and, in 2009, the NF Liaison 

Offi ce continued to facilitate dialogue, allowing us to identify 

the nature of challenges the NFs face. It is not always possible 

for the FEI to provide ideal solutions, but we are dedicated 

to improving our ability to address the concerns of Member 

National Federations. 

That commitment is also a challenge in the context of a 

signifi cant increase of the FEI’s overall activity, whether measured 

by revenues, the number of events or projects. While staff 

numbers have risen over the years, our activity has increased at 

greater levels, resulting in signifi cant improvements in annual 

staff productivity. The year 2009 ended with 52 employees 

working at the FEI in Lausanne and overall staff productivity 

having increased by 17% in the last fi ve years, when considering 

the number of events administered by our team. 

Improving effi ciency sometimes involves taking a new look 

at organisational structure. This year, I had the pleasure of 

meeting members of regional Group IX in Nairobi and Group 

VIII representatives in Taipei, among other National Federation 

representatives, to discuss a proposal to restructure FEI 

governance. Although the project was ultimately not approved 

at the FEI General Assembly in Copenhagen, the question of 

governance will continue to evolve through dialogue with all NFs. 


The FEI’s well-established relationship with Alltech, Rolex and 

HSBC continued in 2009 and we were delighted to enter a 

partnership with Meydan in February. Meydan City is a visionary 

concept founded on the principles of partnership, community 

and sporting excellence and the FEI is proud to be associated 

with a company whose philosophy matches our own. The fi rst 

Meydan FEI Nations Cup was an exciting season and the 

synergy between Meydan and the prominent series was fruitful, 

leading to a renewal of the partnership for 2010. 

Preparations for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 

progressed in Lexington, where the permanent structures that 

are being added to the Kentucky Horse Park will benefi t it long 

after the Games are over. I wish the organising team good luck 

for the work that lies ahead of them and look forward to seeing 

the event staged on US soil for the fi rst time. 

The FEI Bureau awarded the 2014 FEI World Equestrian Games 

to the region of Normandy in March. The bid committee and 

French Equestrian Federation spent eight years working on their 

proposal and presented a project of outstanding quality. I am 

delighted that the French government and regional authorities 

are showing such enthusiastic support. 

In October, the FEI President and I attended the Olympic 

Congress in Copenhagen. The theme, “The Olympic Movement 

in Society”, refl ected the reality of sport as an integral part 

of our society and the lively debates focused on guiding the 

Olympic Movement through another century in a relevant and 

viable way. 

Since the 2008 Olympic Games, the FEI has continued to work 

with the Olympic Movement on developing the blueprint for 

the London 2012 Olympics and the Youth Olympic Games in 

Singapore. This year, FEI staff and volunteers worked hand in 

hand with the London Organising Committee for the Olympic 

Games (LOCOG) on issues such as planning, structure and 

development. 

Risk management remains a major task for the FEI. In September, 

the new FEI Eventing Risk Management policy and vision 

statements were presented at the HSBC FEI European Eventing

Championships at Fontainebleau, France. The policy and action 

plan are based on a six-year statistical study of the sport and 

constitute a system for monitoring risk factors and streamlining 

international data and ideas to increase our understanding of 

the root causes of falls. The FEI General Assembly endorsed the 

Risk Management Programme, which will be launched at the 

third annual FEI Safety meeting in Sweden in January 2010. In 

addition to other goals aimed at mitigating risk in the sport, the 

Eventing Committee aims to reduce horse falls by 10% (20% at 

4-star level) over the next three years. 

The 2009 General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in favour 

of the new Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication 

Regulations (EADCMR) and the associated Equine Prohibited 

Substances List. It also adopted the recommendations of 

the Ljungqvist and Stevens Commissions to combat doping 

in our sport. 

These recommendations revolve around three key elements: the 

new Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Regulations 

(EADCMR) and its associated Equine Prohibited Substances List, 

professionalisation of the sport and an Equestrian Community 

Integrity Unit to monitor compliance and safeguard horse 

welfare. 

Due to ensuing debate about the in-competition use of Non- 

Steroidal Anti-Infl ammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) within strictly 

prescribed limits, broader consultation and supplementary 

research is planned, with the new Equine Anti-Doping and 

Controlled Medication Regulations coming into force on 5 April 

2010 instead of 1 January as originally scheduled. 

The Joint-Commission recommendations also led to a decision 

to create an Equestrian Community Integrity Unit (ECIU). 

Quest Limited, an internationally renowned organisation that 

specialises in sports investigations, is operating the ECIU, which 

was launched at the 2009 General Assembly. A telephone 

hotline and email address are key elements in its intelligence 

gathering system and will enable concerns relating to integrity 

issues to be reported in an appropriate manner. 

Partly in response to the need to professionalise more roles 

in equestrian sport, the FEI has established an Education 

and Standards Department, headed by Harald Müller. The 

department is responsible for the development, standardisation 

and operation of FEI education curricula. It also deals with 

defi ning and applying standards related to FEI disciplines 

and associate disciplines, as well as those related to NFs and 

organisations interfacing with the FEI. Another key responsibility 

is the development and operation of an educational support 

system. This year, the department developed systems of 

education for Dressage Judges, Jumping Course Designers and 

Jumping and Dressage Stewards. 

The launch of FEI TV (www.feitv.org) in March has provided a 

great new opportunity for our sport. As traditional and new 

media merge with increasing speed, I strongly believe it is 

essential to attracting new audiences, particularly young people, 

to equestrian sports. Not only can we now show and promote 

disciplines and events that are rarely or never broadcast on 

television, we can also reach territories where coverage of 

horse sport is limited or non-existent. The possibilities for this 

global platform are numerous and mean that the FEI and its 

stakeholders can prepare for a new age of digital broadcasting. 

In 2010 the equestrian athletes, community and public 

have many exciting events to look forward to. It is with great 

satisfaction and pleasure that I witness FEI disciplines developing 

throughout the world and an honour for the FEI to advance that 

growth in a humane and sportsmanlike manner. 

I thank the National Federations, FEI volunteers and our sponsors 

for bringing our sport to an ever-enthusiastic public and look 

forward to continuing a mutually benefi cial relationship with 

the FEI Family built on transparency and dialogue.

FEI 

COMMITTEES 

AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE 

Sadly the elected chairman of the Audit & Compliance 

Committee, Philip Billington, passed away in April 2009. In 

order to safeguard the role of the Committee - to ensure that 

a culture of compliance be maintained and developed and 

that appropriate supervisory architecture be continuously 

improved - Brian Mangan was named acting Chair. 

Main items/activities included 

A two-day visit to the FEI offi ces in May included a formal 

committee meeting which covered the areas of fi nancial 

statements, the unsatisfactory overdue debtor situation, the 

building and IT projects, internal control, accounting systems, 

sponsorship and commercial issues. 

The meeting planned for September/October took place 

by teleconference. Costs and savings associated with the 

proposed changes in governance structure were queried and 

also compliance with the new expenses policy. The current 

situation with regard to aged debtors and the building 

and computer projects was discussed. Additional matters 

addressed included insurance, outstanding legal cases and the 

future plan for this committee. 

Other activity during the year involved regular monitoring of 

reports from the Executive and their communication with the 

Bureau. 

The Future 

The economic crisis is fundamentally changing the way that 

audit committees are working. There is a need to increase 

audit committee involvement with the Executive in line 

with international trends. Risk management is now at the 

forefront. This will involve the Executive identifying risks and 

their potential impact, taking action to reduce or eliminate 

risks and systematic monitoring and review. Oversight of 

compliance, fi nancial performance, fi nancial statements and 


internal controls must also be structured, continuous and 

supported by high quality information. The overall approach 

should be strategic with the Audit & Compliance committee 

seeking to understand the key issues the Executive have to 

address particularly those posed by the present fi nancial crisis. 

NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE 

The Nomination Committee (NC) met in Lausanne (SUI) on 

28-29 September 2009. 

On 28 September the NC reviewed the applications received 

by FEI Headquarters for all open positions on the Standing 

Committees and the FEI Bureau. During their review the NC 

took note of the names of the candidates having received 

the unanimous support by the relevant Technical Committee 

and the explanation given by Technical Committees backing 

the reasons. The input from the Directors was also sought. 

All candidacies were deemed by the NC to fulfi ll the 

necessary criteria for performing the job specifi cations 

related to each position. 

The NC made recommendations to the Bureau and the 

General Assembly for each vacant position. 

On Tuesday, 29 September the NC reviewed in detail the 

applications received for the FEI Board; the proposed body 

which would replace the Bureau in the new governance 

structure. The structure proposal had been included in the 

new Statutes and would require the approval of the 2009 

Extraordinary General Assembly in Copenhagen (DEN). 

The number of Board members had been set to seven 

members including the President. One seat would be 

reserved for an athlete from one of the three Olympic 

disciplines. The remaining fi ve members would be selected 

from the candidatures sent to the FEI by the National

Federations. The number would allow the possibility of a 

Board member for each continent although that was not 

thought to be a necessity, the focus being on individual skills. 

The NC member from Group II was excused from the 

meeting as his name had been put forward for the position 

of Board member. 

The NC also took note that the consultation process on 

the FEI Statutes and Internal Regulations had not yet been 

completed (i.e. NFs had until 15 October 2009 to forward 

their comments on the draft documents). This rendered the 

selection of the slate by the NC more challenging. 

During its deliberations the NC sought to assemble the best 

potential team from an assortment of qualifi ed individuals. 

The slate was published in advance of the GA, but not voted 

on as the new governance structure was defeated in the GA. 

ATHLETES COMMITTEE 

The term for the fi rst Athletes Committee would end in 

2010. In order to avoid duplication of roles between the 

athletes who sat on Technical Committees and the Athletes 

Committee, the revised Art. in the Internal Regulations 

of the Bureau foresaw that as of the General Assembly 

2010, the athlete representatives sitting on the Technical 

Committees would form the Athletes Committee. 

During the Athletes Committee meetings in 2007 and in 

2008 the importance for athletes’ to have an international 

rider/athlete club, was continuously stressed. This would be 

especially important as the clubs recognised as FEI Associate 

members would be responsible for putting forward 

candidates onto the Technical Committees. 

Currently the following disciplines are represented by 

an International athletes/riders club: Jumping, Dressage, 

Eventing, Reining and Vaulting; all of which have the FEI 

associate member status. 

VETERINARY COMMITTEE 

The Veterinary Committee met on 16 and 17 March 2009 in 

Lausanne. Graeme Cooke was appointed Veterinary Director in 

July 2009. The November 2009 General Assembly in Copenhagen 

saw the FEI Veterinary Regulations undergo a number of 

substantial amendments to meet the recommendations of 

the various Clean Sport Commissions in order to protect the 

welfare of the horse and the maintenance of Clean Sport. These 

amendments included: 

- A change to a new individually named substances approach 

for the FEI Equine Prohibited Substances List, consisting 

of two categories of banned substances and controlled 

medications; 

- The introduction of a Medication Log book; 

- A change in the medication form system to an Equine 

Therapeutic Use Exemption (ETUE), following WADA; 

- The introduction of treatments areas at FEI events; 

- Education initiatives of riders, trainers and vets, notably 

the necessity for Veterinarians to have undertaken an FEI 

Veterinary Course by 31 December 2011; 

- A greater emphasis on security in FEI stables; 

- Encouraging more use of elective testing at FEI laboratories; 

- The creation of a website dedicated to Clean Sport matters 

containing resources such as the New Prohibited List, 

the Athletes Guide, and the new Equine Anti-doping and 

Controlled Medication Regulations. 

Other areas covered during the year: 

- Research projects underway include a footing project to 

examine the properties of surfaces and a study to allow 

the addition of Betamethasone to the FEI List of Detection 

Times, a priority; 

- Hypersensitisation: a protocol was successfully used in 

2009 and a Thermography and leg examination protocol 

was approved at the 2009 General Assembly; 

- International Trade and Horse Movement objectives: there 

was a continued drive for the acceptance of model health 

certifi cate on an OIE basis. The FEI was invited by the OIE 

to join the expert group for the establishment of freedom 

from African Horse Sickness, a critical initial component in 

greater levels of equine trade; 

- A rational approach was obtained from both the EU and 

Chinese authorities for the importation of horses into the 

Guangzhou for the 2010 Asian Games; 

- Education: the number of courses arranged and run for 

FEI Veterinary Surgeons worldwide increased in order 

to meeting the need for a greater number of veterinary 

Offi cials and the endurance star rating system has proved 

successful for event veterinarians; 

- WEG 2010: meetings were held with the Veterinary 

Services Manager. 

Commissions were appointed for all disciplines. 

- Olympic Games 2012: close contact with the LOCOG 

began and a Veterinary Services Manager was appointed 

with the support and approval of the Committee. 

The Committee produced a plan for the Committee and 

Department to identify priorities. Beyond the maintenance of 

the normal delivery, there is an essential need to commence 

the longer term strategies required to achieve greater 

leadership in areas such as welfare, change in the role of the 

FEI Veterinary Offi cial, and improvements in the worldwide 

trade and movement of horses. Such important longer term 

objectives require greater resources and suitable staffi ng. 

The 2009 General Assembly approved the change of the 

central reference laboratory from Laboratoire des Courses 

Hippiques (LCH) in Verrières le Buisson, FRA, to Horseracing 

Forensic Laboratories (HFL) in Newmarket, GBR. 

FEI DRESSAGE TASK FORCE 

In November 2008, the FEI Bureau appointed the Dressage 

Task Force (DTF) to review/assess a number of issues in 

the lead up to the 2009 FEI General Assembly when a new 

Dressage Committee would be formally established. The DTF 


convened 7 days of physical meetings and held conference 

calls almost every 14 days. 

The following items were reviewed and reported on by the 

Dressage Task Force: 

- Review the issues surrounding the very signifi cant area of 

the training and development, assessment and selection of 

judges for major Championships and Olympic Games; review 

of a randomised/computerised judge selection process; 

- The fi tness for purpose of the method of judging Dressage 

competitions in terms of the number of judges, their 

positioning and the judging process; 

- Review the format and participation for Olympic Games 

- The system for qualifi cation for Championships, and the 

receipt of Certifi cates of Capability for Championships, 

World Cups, and the Olympic Games; 

- Review the consultation process within the discipline in 

order to determine the way it affects the structure of the 

committee in order to ensure maximum involvement 

by the key stakeholders, both internal to the sport and 

external within the greater sporting/Olympic & Paralympic 

environment; 

- The issue of ‘Welfare of the horse’ was not originally 

included in the tasks for the DTF but was also included 

in the fi nal report as was an item entitled “series in the 

dressage sport”. 

JUMPING COMMITTEE 

The Jumping Committee met twice during the course of 2009: 

once in Lausanne on 3-4 March and once by telephone conference 

on 23 September. The main items / activities included: 

Jumping Rules 

Several clarifi cations, corrections and minor modifi cations were 

made to the Rules for Jumping Events. 

FEI World Cup Jumping 

The FEI World Cup Jumping Rules for the Central European 

League were modifi ed to give more importance to the League 

Final. The second competition of the Rolex FEI World Cup Final, 

effective 2011, will be run under Art. 238.2.2 to provide a clear 

classifi cation before the Final competition, easier for the public 

to understand. 

FEI Nations Cup Series 

The series will return to the format of eight teams in the Top 

League for 2011. All Top League events will be re-evaluated in 

2010. 

Olympic Games 

The rules for the fi rst qualifying competition of the Olympic 

Games were modifi ed to make the competition more 

interesting. The Committee also strongly supported a proposed 

modifi cation to the qualifi cation procedures specifi c to 

Olympic Groups C and G. 

Development of the Sport 

Allowing athletes from smaller NFs the possibility to obtain 

Certifi cates of Capability and points for the Rolex Rankings at 

CSIOs that cannot meet the prize money requirements of 4* 

events will enable the sport to grow in regions outside of Europe 

and North America. CSI/CSIO requirements for North America 

were established to help align the sport where possible with the 

sport in Europe. 


Stewarding System 

The Stewarding system has been restructured and should be 

ready for implementation in 2010. 

Education of Offi cials 

The streamlining of Education systems will enable one integrated 

system for all offi cials across all disciplines, with ongoing 

evaluation and external verifi cation of procedures. 

Horse Welfare and Clean Sport 

The Committee will continue to monitor the situation on footing, 

boot controls and hyper-sensitisation. 

EVENTING COMMITTEE 

Over the course of 2009, the Eventing Committee held two 

meetings. The fi rst took place in Barroca d’Alva (POR) in 

March; the second was a conference call in September 2009. 

These meetings addressed, among others, the following: 

Eventing Rules 

FEI Rules for Eventing 23 rd edition amendments / updates to 

be implemented 1 July 2009 and 1 January 2010. 

Modifi cations/additions to the rules include the compulsory 

appointment by the National Federations organising Eventing 

events of a National Safety Offi cer (Art. 500.3), the use of the 

term “Minimum Eligibility requirement” instead of “Qualifying 

Result” (Art. 506), clarifi cation of the CIC Horse Inspections 

(Art. 518.2), Eventing Risk Management Vision Statement 

(Art. 519.1), Examination after a fall – Medical Fitness (Art 

519.4), etc. 

The Eventing Risk Management Programme 

Evaluation and action plan, vision statements, progress report 

(FEI database), National Safety Offi cers, etc. 

FEI Eventing Education Programmes 

Practical implementation of education programmes for Offi cials: 

regular Offi cials course programme, education of tutors for 2009 

courses, global education training programme for Offi cials and 

USA NF support of Eventing education in South America. 

World Cup format 2010 and rule changes 

Current World Cup concept review and proposal for 2010. 

2012 Olympic Games London 

Appointment of Technical Delegate, Cross Country distance, 

job description of Cross Country course advisor. 

HSBC FEI Classics Series 

Review of calendar, update of ranking rules, selection criteria, etc. 

DRIVING COMMITTEE 

In 2009, the FEI Driving Committee met in August in 

Kecskemet. Notwithstanding the economic crisis, and 

inclement weather conditions, the 2009 summer driving 

season was deemed very productive. A few events were 

cancelled due to lack of sponsorship but the events that 

took place were well attended. 

Two successful FEI World Championships were held in 2009 

– the FEI World Pony Driving Championships in Greven (GER) 

where 90 competitors from 18 Nations competed and the FEI

World Pair Driving Championships in Kecskemet (HUN) with 

71 competitors from 21 Nations competing for medals. The 

Test Event in Lexington (USA) held from Oct 1-4 was also 

declared a great success. 

A number of proposed rule clarifi cations were submitted to 

the General Assembly and approved. Throughout the year, 

progress was also made on the FEI Education system for 

Driving Offi cials, to be completed and ready for phased-in 

implementation early 2010. 

Goals for 2010 

- FEI Governance – Rules revision and enforcement; Offi cials 

education, qualifi cation and management; formats and 

structures for Competitions, Series & Championships; 

- Development – Educational forums; Develop sport potential 

& commercial attractiveness; 

- Commercial Activities – Promotion of disciplines by 

improved presentation; 

- Welfare & Clean Sport. 

ENDURANCE COMMITTEE 

The FEI Endurance Committee held regular meetings by 

teleconference. The key topics, efforts and achievements in 

2009 are summarised below: 

The new FEI Education System is in place and the revised Level I 

and Level II courses/examinations have been well received. The 

updated Course for Endurance Technical Delegates is also now 

completed. A comprehensive course for Endurance Veterinarians, 

presented several times in 2009, has also been very well received. 

Other related matters include the revision of the Endurance 

Veterinary Delegate Report, and the development of a new list 

of Endurance Veterinarian Course Directors for publication. 

The FEI Hydra Educational Support Scheme for developing 

Nations was quite active throughout 2009. The FEI/Hydra 

Programme provides for an approved FEI Senior Endurance 

Judge/Technical Delegate and/or FEI Senior Endurance 

Veterinarian to initially give detailed technical support to 

an FEI National Equestrian Federation in the planning stage, 

to be followed by a visit to the country in question. The 

concept of the scheme is to assist Nations in establishing a 

structured programme of development commencing initially 

at ‘grass roots level’, thereby establishing a foundation upon 

which a National and thereafter International Endurance 

Competition Calendar can be created. The fi nancial support 

provides for the costs and expenses of the pre and post 

course/competition technical support and the one or two 

visits by the FEI representatives. Funding is also available to 

meet associated costs in the organisation of the National 

Endurance Competition. Further such projects will be carried 

into 2010. 

A number of important Championships were successfully held 

in 2009, namely the 5 th FEI World Endurance Championships 

for Juniors and Young Riders in Babolna (HUN) on 5 September 

with twenty three countries entered into the competition; the 

North American Endurance Championships for Juniors and 

Young Riders in Henryville, Indiana, in conjunction with the 

FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships; 

the FEI European Endurance Championship in Assisi (ITA) 

and the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games Test Event in 

Lexington (USA). 

Emphasis continues to be on the welfare of the horse with 

the new rules that came into effect on 1 January 2009. The 

modifi cations including Novice Qualifi cation Criteria, use 

of Log Books to record and enforce mandatory rest periods

and document Veterinary information have been very 

well-received by the competitors. The Star Qualifi cation 

requirements have resulted in an increase of both 1* and 

2* events in 2009, providing a positive backdrop for the 

development of the horse, the athlete and the FEI offi cial. 

Goals for 2010 

- FEI Governance: communicate and enforce Rules; Offi cials 

education, qualifi cation and management; 

- NFs: manage Calendar; understand and promote IT 

services; open communication; 

- Development: promote Hydra project to developing 

countries; provide Educational forums for athletes & 

offi cials; 

- Commercial Activities: promote Endurance through 

improved presentation; develop potential/attractiveness 

commercially – foster partnerships with prospective 

sponsors; 

- Welfare & Clean Sport: support testing of horses and 

athletes (WADA). 

VAULTING COMMITTEE 

The Vaulting committee had many conference call meetings 

and completed the new rulebook which went into effect 

January 1, 2009. 

Main items/activities 

- In February, Judges and Trainers from 14 countries 

participated in a FEI Vaulting Seminar in Glasgow, Scotland. 

Horse score and Technical Test moves were discussed; 

- The European Senior and Junior Championships were held 

in Bokeberg, Sweden with participants in all three divisions- 

Team, Individual and Pas de Deux from 14 countries; 

- We had 14 CVI’s throughout the season; 

- Vaulting was included in North American Young Riders 

Championship for the fi rst time 2009. It was well received 

and it is hoped that vaulting will be offi cially accepted into 

the NAYRC in the near future; 

- The Kentucky Cup was the vaulting test event for WEG 2010. 

It was held in the new arena at the Kentucky Horse Park; 

- There is continued growth of vaulting in Australia, South 

Africa and a new individual competitor from China; 

- The Vaulting Coaches Training Program is in the last stages of 

organisation. It should be ready to implement in 2010. 

REINING COMMITTEE 

The Reining Committee met once via teleconference in the 

spring of 2009. 

The main activities for 2009 included: 

- The continued success of the North American Young 

Riders Programme at the new venue in Lexington Ky. The 

Young Riders were included in Reining’s test event for 

the FEI Alltech World Equestrian Games. Both the Young 

Riders Championship and the test event were extremely 

successful; 

- The fi rst European Young Riders Championship was held 

in conjunction with the European Championships last 

autumn. This event proved to be a huge success and the 


Team from Italy were the very deserving Champions. 

Kreuth, Germany and the German Reiners were wonderful 

hosts for this inaugural event; 

Both of these events lead the efforts of the Reining Committee 

to broaden the sport to encompass the Young Riders of the 

World. 

- The FEI World Reining Masters was once again hosted by 

the National Reining Horse Association and Oklahoma 

City. Ian Williams, FEI Director of Non-Olympic Sports, 

attended; 

- Preparations for the FEI AllTech World Equestrian Games 

are now in full stride. The Committee looks forward to the 

participation of several new countries, which may include 

Russia and China; 

- The Committee has worked with the National Reining 

Horse Association, the American Quarter Horse 

Association, the United States Equestrian Federation and 

the Organising Committee to increase the prize fund for 

Reining. Most importantly, Reining will be featured on the 

Opening Weekend with a televised programme on NBC TV, 

following the coverage of the Ryder Cup. The Committee 

hopes to increase exposure, not only of Reining, but of all 

Horse Sports throughout the World; 

- The Reining Committee is working diligently to ensure 

compliance with all the statutes of the FEI and its National 

Federations. 

PARA-EQUESTRIAN COMMITTEE 

The Para-Equestrian Committee met once in 2009, from 

16-17 June in Amsterdam (NED). Over the past year, the 

Committee has found its role to be more as an advisory 

body as the NF’s have started to communicate with the FEI 

HQ directly and to a greater extent than ever before. 

The transfer of Para-Equestrian sport from the National 

Paralympic Committees to the National Equestrian 

Federations is actively taking place around the world and 

is essential to continue the positive development of Para- 

Equestrian. 

Main items/activities: 

- A major highlight for 2009 was the Open European Para- 

Equestrian Dressage Championships in Norway where 

80 riders from 22 nations competed, and 15 nations 

participated with full teams in the Team competition. A 

vast improvement to previous European Championships 

with a marked increase in quality of the horses; 

- Modifi cation of the Para-Equestrian Dressage tests in order 

to allow for meaningful competition between new athletes 

and nations competing alongside the more experienced 

nations and riders – effective from 1 January 2010; 

- Extensive revision of the Para-Equestrian Dressage Rule 

book so that it is better aligned to the able-bodied 

Dressage rules thereby allowing Trainers, Chefs, Judges 

and Coaches active in Dressage to support their Para- 

Equestrian riders – effective from 1 January 2010; 

- The Para-Equestrian Trainers Club became an associate 

member of FEI.

Goals 2010 

- To actively continue the integration of Para-equestrian 

disciplines in NFs around the world; 

- Review and integrate the medical classification for Para- 

Equestrian riders/drivers into the FEI; 

- Judges courses (refreshers) in order to introduce the new 

tests and their purpose; 

- A developing program that includes courses/conferences 

for trainers/judges/medical classifiers and organizers at 

the same time. To be started in South America 2010; 

- Review and implement a Ranking list adapted for the 

Para-Equestrian disciplines; 

- Implement systems for FEI Stewards to become Para- 

Equestrian Stewards. 

MEDICAL COMMITTEE 

One of the primary roles of the committee is to approve or 

disapprove Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE) pursuant to 

WADA requirements. The Medical Committee also concerns 

itself with athlete health and safety as well as athlete education 

with regards to doping regulations and health issues. 

The Olympic medical code for human athletes states: 

Athletes should enjoy relief of their suffering according to 

the latest recognised medical knowledge. Treatments with 

analgesic effects which allow an athlete to practice a sport 

with an injury or illness should be carried out only after careful 

consideration and consultation with the athlete and other 

health providers. If there is a long term risk to the athlete’s 

health such treatment should not be given. 

As of 31 December 2009, there are approximately 26,000 

international athletes (riders, drivers, vaulters & lungers) 

registered with the FEI. 

There were 70 TUEs processed in 2009 

- 12 Jumping 

- 13 Eventing 

- 12 Dressage 

- 24 Para-Equestrian 

- 4 Vaulting 

- 3 Endurance 

- 2 Driving 

FEI TRIBUNAL 

The FEI Tribunal met for its Annual Meeting from 27 to 28 June 

in Lausanne and held nine monthly calls with the FEI Legal 

Department. 2009 trends and case fi gures as well as the 2010 

strategic objectives are outlined below: 

2009 Figures: 

- 59 Cases opened under the EADMC Rules in 2009:

• By discipline: 

Dressage: Fast Track 1; Tribunal 1 

Driving: Fast Track 2; Tribunal 1 

Endurance: Fast Track 11; Tribunal 13 

Eventing: Fast Track 0; Tribunal 3 

Jumping: Fast Track 18; Tribunal 9 

- Tribunal activity in 2009: 

• 25 fi nal decisions issued (7 arising from cases opened in 

2008) 

• 7 Final Hearings (5 in person, 2 by telephone) and 12 

Preliminary Hearings (3 cases had 2 Preliminary Hearings 

each). 

- Provisional Suspensions imposed in 2009:

Responsible (Athletes) 

• 1 owner + 1 additional PR (trainer) were also provisionally 

suspended in 2009 

• Average time to Preliminary Decisions: 2.7 days 

• 8 Provisional Suspensions were lifted prior to the 

Tribunal’s Final Decision 

- EADMC Sanctions issued in 2009 

• Of the 25 Final Tribunal Decisions issued in 2009 

(16 Doping, 8 Medication, 1 other EADMC rule violation), 

there were 26 suspensions (24 PR suspensions + 

1 Additional PR suspension + 1 Horse suspension): 

3 months or below: 5 

3 to 6 months: 12 

6 to 12 months: 7 

More than 12 months: 2 

• Average sanction (suspensions): 7 months 

- CAS appeals of FEI Tribunal decisions: 

Eight decisions involving the FEI have been rendered by 

the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), two of which 

related to Interim Decisions. In six cases, the CAS panel has 

confi rmed the position or the decision of the FEI panel. In 

one case, the CAS decided to raise the suspension imposed 

by the FEI Tribunal from four to eight months, classifying 

the case as involving an Anti-Doping rule violation rather 

than a Medication rule violation. 

Goals for 2010: 

- Successful implementation of EADCM Regulation system 

and Clean Sport initiative 

- Improved effi ciencies in EADCM Case management 

- Establish procedural rules of FEI Tribunal 

2010 – 2011 Strategic Objectives: 

- Strategy towards more immediate decisions (at major 

events) 

- Procedural guidelines to parties 

- Implementing changes to pursue cases against others 

involved in the management of the competition horses 

(vets, owners…) 

- Rules to allow better prosecution of abuse and related 

cases.

by Group I as his successor. 

The topics were 

- Common Position on FEI Structure; 

- Late Payment Interest; 

- Clean Sport; 

- Free Weekend (CSIO4* and 5*); 

- Competitions not affi liated with FEI; 

- Nationality of Competitors. 

The Copenhagen meeting was overshadowed by the 

discussions about the consequences of the Hong Kong 

occurrences, the proposals of the Ethics Panel and the 

decision of the Bureau regarding this topic. The NFs present 

from Groups I and II expressed their unanimous confi dence in 

the German offi cials in general and in the Chair of Group II in 

particular. FEI accepted their decision. 

FEI President HRH Princess Haya and FEI Secretary General 

Alex McLin attended the Groups I and II meeting temporarily; 

31 NFs plus representatives of the athletes and organisers 

took part.

A new event was conceptualised, tentatively titled “The 

Islands Festival,” to be held in Wellington, Florida, perhaps 

as part of the Winter Equestrian Festival. The festival 

would combine an amateur rider from the islands with a 

professional competing in Wellington; 

- sponsorship and cultural opportunities were discussed 

with a possible start date of 2010. Much conversation was 

generated by the notion of integrating PAEC with PASO 

and the cooperative efforts between Groups IV, V, and VI 

to make it happen. Each of the three regional American 

Groups have pledged support to make it a reality. 

GROUP V 

- Decided to hold YOG qualifi cation at FEI Challenge 2010 

for all Group V members except Mexico, Colombia and 

Venezuela. Mexico had already held its qualifi er in July in 

Lexington during the young riders competition in Kentucky. 

Colombia and Venezuela, who are not part of Group V’s 

Olympic Group, will hold its qualifi er in Chile in 2010; 

- discussed a proposal about CSI and prize money with FEI 

Jumping Director John Roche in Copenhagen; 

- discussed the intention of the SIEC series to introduce a 

new category for the 2010 Jumping Finals at 1.15 mts. The 

category would help the Group’s member countries to 

participate at a lower level and promote this category for 

more riders. Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Dominican 

Republic, Puerto Rico , Honduras , Venezuela & Colombia 

agreed to confi rm their participation; 

- obtained a waiver for Piroplasmosis for the Central 

American and Caribbean Games;

GROUP VIII 

- Reported strong opposition from AUS, JPN, TPE, KOR and 

SIN NFs to the Jumping Committee’s proposal to realign 

the nations in the Qualifi cations Procedure for the 2012 

London Olympic Games. They consider that the proposed 

merger of the 28 nations from Europe’s Group C with the 

18 nations in Asia & Oceania Group G to form an overall 

qualifying group of 48 nations with a European qualifi er is 

unfair, unbalanced and disadvantageous to non-European 

and developing nations: 

- reported that AUS NF acknowledged the soundness of the 

underlying notion of the Olympic Games Qualifi cation 

System (ie. That every country has two opportunities 

to earn a place to the Olympic games – WEG and their 

individual qualifi er) but pointed out that analysis reveals a 

signifi cant imbalance of equality; 

- reported AUS NF’s suggestion that the Technical 

Committees has a defi ned mechanism for allowing greater 

contributions and debate from NFs, athletes and organisers; 

- reported TPE NF’s surprise that FEI did not propose to 

organise Group C and Group F qualifi cations together; 

- reported KOR NF’s observation that for the London 

Olympic Games, Group G has only two team quotas and 

two individual ones in amalgamation with Group C, which 

it considers unfair and disadvantageous to Group G. At the 

Athens Olympic Games, there were three team Quotas and 

fi ve individual ones for group G and F; 

- reported the AEF Dressage Committee’s strong opposition 

to the 2012 London Olympic Qualifi cation Procedure 

proposal. The Committee considers the proposal favours 

European nations and is contradictory to the principles of 

Olympism – the universality and equality of sports – as well 

as to the FEI development policy; 

- discussed a proposal from AUS NFs for a regional coaching 

and riding development programme for riders, judges and 

technical delegates and an event management exchange 

programme. The programmes would enable participants to 

assist with and learn from the planning and organisation of 

events in the region. 

GROUP IX 

- Reported that a successful Regional Meeting was held 

in July. Twelve of the thirteen members were present or 

represented, in addition to the President and The Secretary 

General. Communication and cooperation within the 

Group is consistently improving and the increased pace 

of development in almost all disciplines is clearly evident. 

Representation from the Group at the WEG is expected to 

double in terms of disciplines and athletes; 

- discussed the fact that the small sizes and fi nancial 

constraints of the majority of the NFs in the Group seriously 

hinder its evolution. Decided more effort must be made to 

broaden support bases and use available expertise in the 

Group to improve the situation. The appointment of two 

Regional FEI Tutors will be of great assistance to improving 

coaching and training systems; 

- discussed the need for more education and promotion in

two key areas: Coaching and Offi cials. Also underlined the 

importance of each NF’s responsibility for education in the 

area of Clean Sport. The FEI Coaching Course System is 

having a major impact towards the Group’s goal of raising 

standards. South Africa was especially thanked for hosting 

the majority of these courses. The education and promotion 

of Offi cials in the region is diffi cult as there are few FEI 

shows or Seminars where offi cials can gain experience; 

- asked that the FEI be consistent in a date for Rule changes 

in all disciplines. It was also deemed necessary for changes 

to be published with suffi cient notice so that NFs have time 

to inform all offi cials and stakeholders of amendments and 

new rules; 

- reported that the Challenges were still the major 

benchmark for assessment of the Group’s standards. Two 

nations joined the Dressage Challenge and one nation the 

Jumping Challenge. Thanked the NF Chile for again hosting 

the important FEI Jumping Challenge Finals. Four riders 

represented the Group. A rider from Zimbabwe was Reserve 

Champion. It was agreed that holding Finals was critically 

important for the Group. Thanked the Jumping Committee 

for their help with and support of the Youth Olympic 

Games; 

- discussed ongoing diffi culties with regional and 

international movements of horses. Restrictions and 

veterinary requirements by Governments in the Group 

change constantly and were mostly to the detriment of 

the importation/exportation of horses. The increased use 

and acceptance of Group IX (for inter-regional movement) 

and FEI passports would make a difference. The continued 

assistance of the FEI Veterinary Department will be sought 

to help fi nd solutions to problems in this area; 

- strongly reiterated the Group’s thanks to the FEI, especially 

all the staff at Headquarters, for their unfailing support and 

assistance to the Group in all areas.

ACTIVITY REPORT 

These are the 2009 development activities. 

COACHING 

The Coach Education System has progressed as planned and 

new Regional Tutors have been appointed. 

In January, the FEI organised its fi rst Coaches Workshop 

in Quito, Ecuador. The design of the FEI Level 3 coaching 

course has started with the help of a coaching working 

group. It follows the European 5-level structure of coaching 

qualifi cations, which for the FEI are: 

- Fundamental Introduction to Coaching 

- Learning to Train Level 1 (Coach) 

- Training to Train Level 2 (Coach) 

- Training to Compete Level 3 (Senior Coach) 

- Training to Win Level 4 (Master Coach) 

Coaches & Tutors Courses 2009 

In total 285 Level 1 and 72 Level 2 coaches from 46 different 

NFs were certifi ed. A Tutors course took place in Turkey to 

educate eight Tutors from Russia, Greece, Turkey, South 

Africa and Mauritius simultaneously with a refreshment 

course for Senior Tutors (see list of Seminars and Courses 

page 42) 

FEI Workshop for Coaches 

In conjunction with the Copa International Mitad del 

Mundo (CSI-Ch Cat. A, B & C), which took place for the 

2 nd consecutive year in Quito, Ecuador from 26 January to 

1 February 2009, the FEI Development Department and the 

ECU NF organised the fi rst FEI workshop for Coaches for 

Group IV, V and VI. Thirty coaches from 11 NFs, of whom 

more than half had FEI certifi cation, attended. 


The aim of this workshop was to: 

- Discuss key coaches skills and how they are implemented 

- List ways by which coaches can be effective 

- Analyse key roles of a coach 

- Share and discuss ideas. 

The fi rst day was devoted to coaching theory in a class room. 

The participants were divided into four groups, each of 

them moderated by four FEI regional Tutors (Jaime Morillo 

(ECU), Luis Barreiro (ECU), Carlos Vasconez (ECU) and Jean- 

Philippe Camboulives (FRA). The overall moderator was 

Liam Moggan from Coaching Ireland. 

Each Group worked on a specifi c “Role of the Coach” issues: 

- What should coaches plan for and how do they do it ? 

- How, what and when should coaches demonstrate? 

- What should the coaches see and how do they see it best? 

- What and how is the best time/best way to give feedback? 

From day 2 throughout the competition, the FEI Experts 

worked alternatively each day with the coaches on the 

following two classical themes directly linked to the 

competitions: 

- How to coordinate and plan young athletes’ training – 

Long Term Athlete Development, by Jean-Philippe 

Camboulives 

- Mental Fitness and Methodology – How to manage 

mental fi tness in athletes and more specifi cally young 

athletes by Liam Moggan. 

Every day, competition debriefi ng sessions with coaches and 

FEI Experts on the results of the day and preparation of the 

action plan for the next day took place at the show ground.

The outcomes of this fi rst coaches’ workshop were very 

positive, with regards to the following aspects: 

- Refreshed the knowledge of coaches 

- Gave coaches a high quality education based on the 

most modern coaching techniques used in all sports 

today 

- Enabled coaches to practise in competition conditions 

with FEI experts 

- Enabled coaches to work on the technical aspect of 

coaching in competition conditions 

- Enabled coaches to work on the coaching methodology 

in competition conditions 

- Enabled coaches from Group IV, V and VI to share 

knowledge 

- Made coaches help each other 

- Reinforced fair play and horsemanship 

- Direct feedback with some riders achieving better results 

as the event progressed 

- Reinforced the links between the three FEI Regional Groups 

- Reinforced Group IV, V and VI as one region. 

Documents pertaining to this workshop are available on the 

FEI Website: www.fei.org/development/coach-education. 

Level 3 Pilot Course for Jumping Coaches 

The Equestrian Federation of Ecuador in cooperation with 

the Ecuadorian National Olympic Committee and the FEI 

organised the 1 st pilot course for level 3 coaches, supported 

by PASO. 

Thirty-two participants from 19 NFs attended. There were 

mainly certifi ed Level 2 coaches plus the six FEI Regional 

tutors, two observers and seven riders. 

The course took place at the excellent facilities of Club 

St Francisco in Quito. The coaching method (the role of 

the coach, mental fi tness, physical fi tness, lifestyle) were 

delivered by Liam Moggan from Coaching Ireland while the 

technical part delivered by Gerry Mullins (IRL), FEI Senior 

Tutor. It covered among others the following topics at 

Level 3 (3*** competition level): Gymnastics from Canter, 

Shortening and Lengthening; Improving the horse in front 

and behind; Developing Accuracy; Straight and Bending; 

Going against the Clock, etc. 

News from the European Coaching Council 

At the biannual meeting of the European Coaching Council, 

held in Ragusa, Sicily on 18-19 September the further 

development of a European Framework for the Recognition 

of Coaching Competence and Qualifi cations was agreed. 

This Framework will be aligned with the wider European 

Qualifi cations Framework and will act as the reference 

point for EU member States and affi liated International 

Federations (IFs) in the further development of their coach 

education and qualifi cation systems. The current reference 

point is documented in the Review of the 5-level structure 

of coaching qualifi cations and further work will now be 

undertaken to develop a comprehensive framework with a 

view to being operational by 2011 (www.enssee.de).

Eventing Development Programme – Eastern Europe 

FEI Development Officer: Andrew Griffiths/Assistants: 

Ronald Alexander (GBR), Peter Wilson (GBR) 

A new four-year development plan for Eventing was 

submitted to the IOC for funding. The project was approved 

and a grant attributed to the Eventing Development 

programme in Eastern Europe and to a new four-year project 

for Group IX. This programme is coordinated by Andrew 

Griffi ths and his team. The same programme continues in 

South/Central America under the coordination of José Ortelli 

with the fi nancial support of the FEI Development Fund. 

Russia is developing well with 2* and 3* star competitions 

this year and many more 1* and 2* star events. Two individual 

riders participated in the Senior European Championship in 

Fontainebleau, France and a Junior and Young Rider team 

successfully participated in the European Championships in 

UK and Germany. Moreover, two new FEI Candidate Technical 

Delegates were appointed and are now coming to consolidate 

the growing panel of FEI Offi cials in Eastern Europe. 

Ukraine saw two new Candidate Judges appointed at a FEI 

Judges’ Seminar in Slovakia (supported by the Development 

Fund).

In 2009, South Africa held its fi rst ever CCI*** and as a 

result, qualifi ed a team for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian 

Games in 2010. Namibia has shown a real interest in 

running horse trials again. A course designer from South 

Africa went to Namibia to give a seminar to the Eventing 

community in view of developing the discipline. The NAM 

NF ran a lower level event in October and hope to put on 

a CCI* in 2010. Contacts have been made with the Kenyan 

Federation and it is planned to run a course build/design 

seminar in 2010. Swaziland ran their fi rst FEI class this year.

Guatemala designed new cross country tracks in different 

locations. New riders appeared in the sport and potential 

FEI Offi cials were identifi ed and trained in view of helping 

in the organisation of the Central American Games in March 

2010. Guatemala is making a huge effort to keep the sport 

growing and with more work in 2010, they can envisage 

having a team competing at the Pan American Games in 

Guadalajara, Mexico in 2011. 

El Salvador has big plans for the sport of Eventing. New riders 

from Jumping moved to Eventing. The climatic conditions 

in the country are ideal for this discipline. The facilities are 

amongst the best in the region and with the help of the FEI 

Development Programme, the sport will develop rapidly. 

Additional technical visits are planned in 2010 to qualify a 

Team for the Central American Games in Guatemala and the 

Central American and Caribbean Games in Puerto Rico. 

Mexico is growing fast in all disciplines, with Eventing leading 

this trend these last four years, thanks to a very responsive 

NF always ready to cooperate to develop the sport. All the 

possible venues for the Pan Am Games have been visited 

with all the conditions in place for the Eventing Competition 

in Guadalajara. The plan is to develop Eventing in other sites 

near the city in 2010. This should serve as the base for the 

sport before the Pan American Games. Mexico will soon 

have riders capable of competing at the highest level. 

Jamaica organised for the fi rst time in Jamaica a riders’ clinic 

and some seminars for potential offi cials and organisers. 

Coaches and riders from Barbados, Cayman Islands, Trinidad 

& Tobago and Jamaica attended. Topics such as the Welfare 

of the Horse and how to create systems where the horse 

would want to take cross-country jumps without stress 

or being forced, were taught to the attendees. Jamaica is 

another country that has all the required conditions to 

develop Eventing. 

However, the transport of horses between the Islands is THE 

major problem as it does not allow for the organisation of 

international events and makes it impossible for riders to 

attend the Central American and Caribbean Games. 

Peru hosted an Eventing Development Seminar for 

organisers, coaches, riders and national offi cials at the 

“Escuela de Equitación del Ejercito” in Lima (Peru) from 

17 July – 19 August, 2009. The activities were focused on 

the development of the discipline of Eventing and to give 

an introduction to the FEI parameters to coach riders and 

horses, to organise events, and to design cross country 

courses. It was attended by twenty one riders and horses, 

six coaches, ten national offi cials and two organisers. The 

excellent facilities of the “Escuela de Equitación del Ejército” 

in Lima permitted the building of a new 1* start cross 

country course. 

Uruguay is one of the most advanced countries part of the 

FEI Eventing Development Programme and in 2009, the 

development efforts were focused on the development 

of new sites. A seminar for riders, coaches, organisers and 

offi cials took place in Durazno in conjunction of the CIC*/** 

24-29 August 2009. The new site of Durazno offers some 

hills that made the cross-country more attractive for the 

competitors and public. A good 29 riders started in the 

Novice level event. In total about 100 competitors were 

involved! 

Cnl. Juan Carlos Nuñez Araujo gave a clinic to all riders about 

the changes of Eventing Rules and Training. In addition, 

Mr Jeferson Sgnaolin Moreira from Brasil, Olympic Rider, 

talked about his experience at the Olympic Games, how to 

develop from the lower level in Brazil to the Olympic Games. 

The preparation of riders and horses and the facilities were 

subjects of discussions. The URU NF has undertaken the 

development of their sports structures with the help of the 

FEI and the results are now visible. 

Columbia is one of the newcomers in the FEI Eventing 

Development Programme. In 2009, four clinics were 

scheduled, which ended with a CNC event under 1* level 

at different cross country places. The COL NF has some up 

and coming riders in the discipline. Their goal is to prepare a 

team for the Central American and Caribbean Games 2010. 

Vaulting Development Programme 

Inter-Africa Vaulting Cup 2009 (Swazi-Lizkhar Stud, Swaziland) 

The fourth Inter-Africa Vaulting Cup took place in Swaziland, 

returning to the Emerald Kingdom after two years in South 

Africa. 

Seventy-fi ve vaulters (from 21 teams and a number of 

individual entries) from fi ve countries — Malawi (4 vaulters), 

Mauritius (11 vaulters), South Africa (42 vaulters), Swaziland 

(13 vaulters) and Zambia (5 vaulters) — entered this year. 

Nine horses were used: two were from Swaziland and fi ve 

from Riba in South Africa (which were also made available to 

the visitors from Zambia, Malawi and Mauritius). 

The show ran from Friday 21 to Saturday 22 August, 

hosted at Swazi-Lizkhar Stud. The event received coverage 

in the local newspapers, including a write-up in The Times 

of Swaziland, and was fi lmed for the BBC programme FEI 

Equestrian World. 

The FEI Development Fund has helped fi nance the 

accommodation and the travel expenses of foreign teams. 

Vaulting Clinics 

In addition to its contribution to the Inter-Africa Vaulting 

Cup, the FEI Development Fund also contributed to the 

development of Vaulting in the following NFs: 

Mauritius Clinic Barbie Gertenbach (RSA) 

Ecuador Clinic and technical visit Priscilla Botton (BRA) 


COMPETITIONS 

FEI Contribution to FEI World Cup Shows 

(Jumping & Dressage) 

The following shows received fi nancial support in 2009. 

Georgia 

CSI2*-W Tbilisi purchase of Timing Equipment for the CSI-W. 

Hungary 

CDI-W Kaposvar contribution to the CDI-W, Junior class. 

Slovenia 

CDI-W Lipica contribution to the CDI-W, Junior & Young 

Riders’ classes. 

FEI World Jumping Challenge 

Contrary to last year, the two categories of this world series 

have shown a slight increase in the number of participants. 

Approximately 100 riders more than last year took part in the 

Category A. The Category B is stable with a slight increase. 

From the FEI Judges reports, it seems that the course plans 

from Rolf Lüdi (SUI) were unanimously appreciated. The 

2009 edition was also used in some regions as a qualifi er 

for the Youth Olympic Games. Full results and pictures are 

available on www.fei.org. 

For the second consecutive year, the FEI World Jumping 

Challenge Final supported by Hyundai was organised at Club 

de Polo San Cristobal from 3-8 November 2009, in Santiago 

de Chile. Riders from Indonesia, India, Lebanon, Namibia, 

South Africa, Zimbabwe, Colombia, Ecuador and Chile took 

part. Namibia was represented by two riders, one of them, 

Annette Künzle, the mother of last year’s winner, Michelle 

Künzle! The competition, on borrowed horses, started by a 

warm-up class. 

Counting for the qualifi cation for the Final, two qualifi ers 

were run on day 2 and 3. The best riders (fi rst 50%) went to a 

Semi-Final and the other 50% to a Consolation competition 

won by Shereen Dummar, Lebanon, ahead of Aliya Das 

Cupta (India) and Silvia Snyman (Namibia). 

The Final with change of horses took place on Sunday in 

front of an enthusiastic public. 

The four fi nalists – two from Chile, one from Zimbabwe and 

one from Ecuador - rode their own horses and then rotated 

on each of the other participants horses. After four exciting 

rounds, Ricardo Lüttecke from Chile who was very regular

Paula Dakin (Zimbabwe) on all four horses and Gonzalo 

Meza from Ecuador. Luis Ceroni (CHI) took 4 th place. 

Once again, thanks to the our Chilean hosts, this Final 

contributed to exchange knowledge, build relationships, 

share experiences and make new friendships. 

This Final took place in the framework of a CSI-Ch and CSI 

for Pre-Juniors. All together, 21 nations were represented. 

These CSIs for Youth on borrowed horses are popular in Latin 

America and are a good motivation for Children and Juniors. 

Alongside the Final, the fi rst international Reining 

competition took place at Club de Polo San Cristobal. 

Club de Polo San Cristobal is a green oasis in the middle of 

Santiago. Polo and the equestrian disciplines are practiced 

there. The Club counts more than 1,000 horses and owns 

25 hectares of land, employing more than 2,000 people. 

The club house includes a restaurant, swimming pool and 

nursery for children. 

The Organising Committee performed a clear round in terms 

of running this show according to schedule. All participants 

were warmly welcomed and hosted. It is important to 

mention the huge contribution of the owners of the horses, 

who did not hesitate to lend their best horses, for the event. 

Additional prizes were awarded to: 

Ricardo Lüttecke (CHI) Best style 

Constantina Best horse 

Annette Künzle (NAM) Most popular rider 

Paula Dakin (ZIM) Best foreign rider 

Ricardo Lüttecke (CHI) Best national rider 

FEI World Dressage Challenge 

Since the introduction of the 5 levels in 2008, the participation 

has not varied very much. The Preliminary, Elementary and 

Advanced classes are the most attended. This year, separate 

rankings have been created to highlight the achievements 

of the senior riders (16-years-old and above) and children 

(12-15 years old) entering the Preliminary and Elementary 

levels. The results have shown that the elementary level is 

attended in majority by seniors, contrary to the Preliminary, 

which has a majority of children at the start. 

The 2009 edition has also seen more judges from the various 

regions involved. This series is also a good opportunity for 

new judges to get experience. 

The increase in the number of riders this 

year is mainly due to the comeback of 

Russia in the series with 3 venues. On 

the other hand, Ukraine disappeared 

from the calendar and Antigua has 

been replaced by the Cayman Islands. 

Full results and pictures are available 

on www.fei.org.

COMMERCIAL 

ACTIVITIES 

The commercial activities of the FEI have considerably 

expanded over the last few years, with many initiatives and 

projects enhancing the value and exposure of the FEI and 

the sport as a whole. A report regarding 2009 activities 

outlines some of these endeavours, in particular with 

regards to Sponsorship, Television, FEI TV, Digital Media and 

Merchandising & Licensing is provided below. 

FEI SPONSORSHIPS 

2009 has been an incredibly busy and successful year for the 

FEI and its partners, not only welcoming Meydan as a new 

title sponsor of the FEI Nations Cup but also showcasing 

great marketing and PR activation for HSBC, Rolex and 

Alltech across the season. 

Meydan 

Meydan is the name behind the development of the United 

Arab Emirate’s landmark racecourse aiming to become the 

biggest equestrian sporting venue in the world. The new 

partnership signed between the FEI and Meydan brought the 

Meydan FEI Nations Cup to new levels and gave Meydan 

the opportunity to promote itself as the heartland of the 

business and horse world in the East. The synergy between 

Meydan and the highest quality team Jumping competition 


in the world is mutually benefi cial and has yielded excellent 

returns for Meydan. 

The FEI’s oldest series, the Meydan FEI Nations Cup 

celebrated in 2009 its 100 th anniversary and featured the ten 

best national Jumping teams in the world competing at eight 

of the best venues throughout Europe with a fi nal event at the 

world famous Dublin Horse Show in August. 

HSBC 

Now in its second partnership year, HSBC’s sponsorship of 

Eventing considerably expanded in 2009. As title sponsor of 

the HSBC FEI World Cup, HSBC FEI Classics and HSBC 

FEI European Eventing Championship, HSBC gained global 

exposure and visibility, notably through on-site branding 

activation, bespoke hospitality programmes and dedicated 

media coverage. 

The 2009 HSBC FEI World Cup season kick-started back in 

April in Kihikihi (NZL). Nine qualifi ers were held throughout 

the season in nine countries, spanning three continents. 

The Qualifi ers’ season eventually culminated in Strzegom 

(POL) where the HSBC FEI World Cup Final saw Michael 

Jung (GER) claim the title. This was the fi rst time, since the 

inception of the series in 2002, that the FEI Eventing World 

Cup Final travelled to Eastern Europe. The great turn-over 

of top riders, media, horse fans as well as the unconditional 

support of HSBC allowed this event to reach a new level 

never witnessed before. 

The HSBC FEI Classics, the FEI fl agship series uniting the 

top end of the international Eventing circuit at the leading 

4-Star competitions currently on the calendar, offers the 

biggest prize pot in Eventing on an annual basis. At the end 

of each season, the fi ve riders with the greatest number of

points are awarded prize-money. The HSBC FEI Classics 

is now a well established circuit and together with the FEI, 

event organisers and HSBC, all efforts are combined to 

increase the visibility of the FEI Classics and take them to 

the next level. 

The beautiful surroundings of Fontainebleau (FRA) welcomed 

the HSBC FEI European Eventing Championship in September 

2009. HSBC was the title sponsor of the competition and 

achieved tremendous success through a dedicated activation 

strategy targeting key stakeholders of the banking, insurance 

and horse industry. Media exposure and TV distribution of 

the HSBC FEI Eventing European Championship also reached 

unequalled results so far. 

Rolex 

The partnership with Rolex, which includes the TV magazine 

“FEI Equestrian World”, the Rolex Rankings and the Rolex 

FEI World Cup, has been a key component of the FEI 

commercial programme since the creation of the “FEI 

Equestrian World” in 2006. 

Greater emphasis to strengthen the Rolex Rankings, 

include the introduction of a Rolex green and yellow 

armband to be used at events by the number one rider on 

the Rolex Rankings, as well as an animated presentation 

of the top twenty riders on the Rolex Rankings with key 

data in the TV production of the Rolex FEI World Cup 

competitions. 

The Rolex FEI World Cup has proven to be a great success, 

it attracts not only the best riders but also the best indoor 

organisers. During 2009, the Rolex FEI World Cup series 

welcomed two new organisers, the CSI in Lyon and Zurich, 

to join the Rolex FEI World Cup Western European League. 

The Rolex FEI World Cup 2008-09 series culminated in a 

fantastic Final in Las Vegas where Rolex testimonee Meredith 

Michaels Beerbaum won her 2 nd Rolex FEI World Cup title in 

a row with her now legendary horse Shutterfl y. 

The FEI is extremely pleased that Rolex have agreed to 

pursue the long-standing partnership with the FEI for at least 

another three years until 2013. The fi nals of the Rolex FEI 

World Cup have been allocated to Leipzig (GER) in 2011, 

s’Hertogenbosch (NED) in 2012 and fi nally to Gothenburg 

(SWE) in 2013. 

Alltech 

Meanwhile, the partnership with Alltech, title sponsor of 

the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, was further 

enhanced with the sponsorship of the 2009 Alltech FEI 

European Jumping and Dressage Championships that took 

place in August in Windsor (GBR). 

FEI TELEVISION 

A number of new and important developments took place 

during 2009. 

IMG Media were appointed as the offi cial television distributor 

for TV rights falling outside the FEI’s contract with the 

European Broadcasting Union (EBU). This has strengthened 

the FEI’s television reach and coverage in some markets while 

also increasing TV licence revenues. 

Long time television partner of the FEI, MBPTV will continue 

to be the FEI’s offi cial television producer. 

A television production advisory group was established 

with a remit to further enhance the production, create an 


environment for additional sales, as well as to harmonise 

and educate broadcasters and viewers. 

Examples of how this has already been implemented are: 

- production of FEI Series opening sequences, which have 

been offered to live broadcasters 

- animated course plans for Jumping events 

- animated presentation of riders with key data 

- use of on-screen statistics (e.g. showing the most knockeddown 

Jumping fences) 

These improvements have already been implemented in the 

production of the Meydan FEI Nations Cup and the Rolex 

FEI World Cup Jumping competitions in 2009 and will be 

further deployed in 2010. Going forward, further production 

enhancements will be considered and added. 

Other production highlights in 2009 included: 

- High Defi nition production, which has commenced this 

year and will increase in 2010 

- Introduction of educational items in the Dressage highlights 

programmes with experts explaining movements such 

as the piaffe, passage and pirouettes for the television 

audience 

- Emphasis on expanding previews and news coverage 

These developments have further increased the value of 

the FEI’s television products and should over time also 

signifi cantly increase the overall value of FEI events and 

contribute to broadening their audience. 

FEI TV 

FEI TV – Online Video Platform 

Since its launch in the spring of 2009, the FEI’s new offi cial 

video website FEI TV (www.feitv.org), which is operated in 

cooperation with the online video delivery and marketing 

specialist Perform Group plc, is offering the entire international 

equestrian community a new, exciting and tailored service. 

Horsesport fans from all over the world now have one place to 

go to be entertained and informed online on all aspects of the 

sport, the athletes and the FEI disciplines they love. 

Although the service has been available for less than a 

year, the channel has attracted hundreds of thousands of 

unique users and is thereby clearly on its way to becoming

horsesport’s premier online video destination for the entire 

global equestrian community and beyond. 

FEI TV - Content 

The platform is offering users frequent and high quality live 

broadcasts from the world’s most prestigious equestrian 

events throughout the year as well as a unique, constantly 

updated and extended back catalogue across all FEI 

disciplines. In 2009, subscribers to FEI TV had access to 

more than 150 hours of live broadcasts from approximately 

50 FEI key events from around the globe. Coverage included 

the FEI World Cup Finals and the FEI European 

Championships in Jumping, Dressage and Eventing, the 

Meydan FEI Nations Cup series, events from the HSBC FEI 

Classics and the FEI General Assembly. An equally attractive 

live package is planned for 2010. 

FEI TV – Online Content Syndication 

In 2009, FEI TV also joined Perform’s widely distributed 

E-player platform in order to broaden its audience and attract 

new target groups. As part of the E-player’s content offering 

a condensed version of FEI TV with free of charge access 

is currently available across approximately 350 websites 

of international newspapers and sport portals, including 

some iconic fl agship names such as the UK’s The Times, The 

Guardian, The Independent or Spain’s As. A similar version of 

this FEI TV player can also be found on the websites of most 

of Europe’s indoor shows. 

FEI TV – Next Steps 

In 2010, while continuing to improve the editorial proposition, 

the marketing of FEI TV will focus on offering FEI stakeholders 

enhanced opportunities to join the project, on broadening 

its portfolio of affi liate partners and on proactively using 

social network sites to promote the sport and the platform. 

End users will see the introduction of a download section 

and the integration of new applications such as live blogging 

and the display of real time data streams (such as start lists 

and results) is currently being investigated. An additional key 

focus will be the further synchronisation of the channel with 

the FEI’s campaigning efforts. 

FEI DIGITAL MEDIA 

FEI Digital Media - A comprehensive range of projects 

FEI’s objective is to use digital media to administrate, 

promote and market the sport and to successively harmonise 

and synchronise the various related projects and initiatives 

to maximise impact, effi ciency and benefi ts. 

In 2009, the FEI ran a comprehensive range of projects related 

to digital media, the scope spreading from implementing 

the FEI 21 project and operating FEI TV, to the production of 

podcasts, to cooperating with developers for console games and 

mobile applications. The 2009 FEI Awards saw the introduction 

of online voting and the FEI Year of Youth campaign is 

experimenting with the concept of user generated content. 

FEI Digital Media – Next Steps 

In order to reach today’s and future audiences and to be an 

attractive and competitive alternative in the sport and lifestyle 

proposition, the challenge is to integrate equestrian sport 

into the far reaching and relatively new digital environment 

and to use these opportunities to increase the awareness 

and popularity of the sport, thus being omnipresent across 

the various platforms and importantly accessible and userfriendly 

to these new audiences. 

Due to the very dynamic development of digital media, the 

FEI will continuously reassess and benchmark its approach 

and adapt its overall strategy and resource allocation where 

necessary. 

FEI LICENSING & MERCHANDISING 

The objectives of the FEI are to create a meaningful and 

brand positive licensing programme that will enhance the 

consumers’ relationship with the FEI and generate additional 

brand awareness in both traditional and non- traditional 

environments, as well as create new revenue streams for 

the FEI. 

As of today, the FEI Licensing & Merchandising programme 

is limited to a certain range of products, mainly FEI event 

merchandising distributed around key FEI events and some 

FEI branded articles which are distributed by licensees or 

through the FEI. 

The current limited range of product categories include 

a video game (Atari), DVDs (Equestrian Vision), riding 

gloves (Heritage), dressage tests (print & online licensees), 

corporate FEI merchandising and a newly developed i-phone 

dressage application to be launched in early 2010. 

The FEI undertook in 2009 a market review of the leading 

Licensing & Merchandising agencies taking into account 

past experience in sports Licensing & Merchandising and 

presence and reach in key equestrian markets. Pending 

contract negotiations, the selected company will be 

announced in the fi rst quarter of 2010 and will be tasked 

with developing a comprehensive catalogue of FEI products 

across categories. 

An FEI e-shop will also be developed and will be accessible 

on the newly launched www.fei.org as well as guidelines for 

brand applications on products & packaging. 

In order to ensure a successful delivery of the Licensing & 

Merchandising programme, the FEI Commercial Department 

will hire a dedicated licensing & branding manager who will 

work in close coordination with the appointed agency as 

well as take responsibility for all FEI branding matters.

* not applicable. Used to show that no international events were organised, either because the NF did not exist or was not affi liated to the FEI. 

(1) In 2003, Yugoslavia changed its name to become Serbia and Montenegro (SCG). The Yugoslavian NF ceased to be a member of the FEI in 1993. 

It was formally reaffi liated at the 2002 General Assembly. In 2006, Serbia & Montenegro became independent and Serbia (SRB) retained the affi liation.
