FOR THE WELFARE OF THE HORSE
The
Federation Equestrian International (FEI) expects all those involved in
international equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI’s Code of Conduct and to
acknowledge and accept that all times the welfare of the horse must be paramount
and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences.
1.
At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses,
welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse
management, training methods, furriery and tack, and transportation.
2.
Horses and competitors must be fit, competent and in good health before
they are allowed to compete. This encompasses medication use, surgical
procedures that threaten welfare or safety, pregnancy in mares and the misuse of
aids.
3.
Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful
attention to the competition areas, grounds surfaces, weather conditions,
stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the
event.
4.
Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention
after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their
competition careers are over. This
covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement.
5.
The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of
education in their areas of expertise.

STABLE
SECURITY/STEWARDING AT INTERNATIONAL EVENTS
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE
IMPLEMENTATION OF
VRs ART. 1005.2.5, ANNEX X
1. ACCESS TO STABLE AREA
For an optimal stable security, the stables must be completely enclosed
within a suitably restrictive perimeter (stable area) which will act both as a
deterrent to the admission of unauthorized persons and to the exit of
horses/ponies. The area must be sufficiently large to allow horses/ponies to be
evacuated from the stables in an emergency, but still remain within the confines
of the perimeter. However, several disciplines allow in specific situations a
lower level of stable security (see discipline rules).
Whenever possible the stable area must include only stables ‑
lorries, caravans, etc., should not be permitted within the area unless
specifically needed as accommodation for horses/ponies and/or grooms.
Access to stables must be limited to those persons indicated in VRs Art.
1005.2.5.2. It is essential that the official issuing authorized access be a
responsible person of seniority within the Organizing Committee.
2. CONTROL OF ACCESS
A control system must operate at all entrance gates so that there is an
efficient and reliable method of identifying those who enter and leave the
stable area at any time.
Extra vigilance must be used in establishing the identity of persons and
reasons for entering the stables during the night.
3. STEWARDING OF STABLE AREA
At least one stable steward directly responsible to the Chief Steward
must be present or readily available in the vicinity of the stable area 24 hours
a day during the entire duration of the event. Deputies as required may assist
him. The steward/deputies must regularly patrol the stable area, without
establishing any predetermined pattern, to discourage any form of illegal
practices or abuses to horses/ponies. Any
misdemeanors must immediately be reported to the stable steward who must, in
turn, report to the Chief Steward.
The duty of the stewards is therefore to safeguard the welfare of the
horses/ponies and to prevent any form of illegal practices.
4. GROOMS
It is appreciated that grooms wish to remain with their horses/ponies
during the night. Only grooms duly registered with the OC are permitted to do
so.
The person responsible must ensure that his/her grooms, or any other
authorized persons with access to his/her horses/ponies, are familiar with the
security and stewarding procedures operating at the event attended.
5. MOVEMENT THROUGHOUT EVENT
GROUNDS
Movement of horses/ponies between the stables, practice, grazing and main arena must be strictly controlled. The optimum layout for Jumping and Dressage disciplines is attached. It is appreciated that flexibility will be required depending on the requirements of other disciplines.
6. STEWARDING OF PRACTICE ARENA
The Chief Steward must ensure that each practice arena is adequately stewarded at all times that it/they are officially open. He must also ensure that all practice arenas are subject to random control when they are officially closed.
7. GRAZING AREA
It
is recommended that a grazing area be provided at all outdoor events and that
this be subject to random control.
If
available, horses/ponies must only be grazed or walked in hand within this area.
The
Foreign Judge/TD at events will be specifically asked to check that the relevant
requirements are met, as reasonably as can be expected depending on the
discipline, and to clearly indicate any shortfalls, following which
consideration may be given to altering the category of the event in future.

Form for FEI Sampling Kits
The
MCP is affected in Groups I and II, by Testing Teams of veterinarians and
technicians and by Laboratories all directly instructed by the FEI.
At
international events outside the MCP area or at those which are covered by the
MCP but at which sampling is required when the Testing Teams are not present,
the Veterinary Commission/Delegate will operate in accordance with Vet. Regs
Chapter VI.
To provide for this eventuality, FEI Sampling Kits should be ordered directly on the form provided, from:

Requirements from the International Alliance of Equestrian Journalists
(IAEJ)
Helping
the media to provide good coverage for your competition is one of the cheapest
forms of publicity available. Stories in newspapers, magazines or on the radio
or television will do a lot for your event, for your sponsors and for the
overall visibility of equestrian sport in your area. While media requirements at
the top levels can be elaborate, attention to some very simple and easy details
can do a lot to help the media exposure of even the smallest competition.
