THE FEI CODE OF CONDUCT


FOR THE WELFARE OF THE HORSE


The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) expects all those involved in international equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI’s Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at 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, farriery and tack, and transportation.


  1. 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.


  1. Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event.


  1. 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.


  1. The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in their areas of expertise.


A full copy of this Code can be obtained from the Fédération Equestre Internationale, Avenue Mon-Repos 24, CH-1005 Lausanne, Switzerland. Telephone: +41 21 310 47 47. The Code is available in English & French. The Code is also available on the FEI’s website: www.horsesport.org.

However, if an invited named rider, who is within the top 20 on the riders’ world ranking list, does not accept the invitation another rider will be invited by the Organising Committee in accordance with the conditions established for invitation of riders in section 4.1. Disputes will be settled by the FEI Jumping Department.

4.4 If an NF is invited to send participants but decides not to participate, another NF is selected by the Organising Committee in accordance with the conditions established for invitation of riders in section 4.1

4.5 OCs which cannot obtain enough riders from the top 250 on the World Ranking list may invite riders up to the number required by continuing down the World Ranking list until the desired number of riders is obtained. This must be done in descending order. These cannot be pay cards.



Section 5 Six Riders below top 250


Each event is allowed to invite up to 6 riders below the 250th place on the World Ranking list. These places are open to home and/or foreign riders by invitation. This can only be done with FEI approval by requesting with schedule approval. These riders may be required to qualify through the B Tour for the A Tour competitions at the same event. These riders cannot be pay cards. These riders, if the OC decides to invite them, must be in addition to the total number of riders invited. In exceptional cases the Manager of the FEI Jumping Department may increase the number of invitations of riders outside the top 250 on the riders’ world ranking list


There are no restrictions on Organising Committees in relation to the invitation of participants for amateur owner competitions and riders specifically invited for small tour competitions only. However, the total number of horses in the small tour must not exceed 100.


The following fines will be imposed on Organising Committees not respecting the above procedure: 1st offence CHF 20’000.-; 2nd offence CHF 40’000.- ; at the 3rd offence, the event will not be permitted to take place. These fines will be payable directly by the Organising Committees concerned to the FEI.

FOR THE INFORMATION OF ORGANISING COMMITTEES



STABLE SECURITY/STEWARDING AT INTERNATIONAL EVENTS


MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE IMPLEMENTATION OF

VRs Art. 1005.2.5, Annex X


  1. ACCESS TO STABLE AREA


The stables must be completely enclosed within a suitably restrictive perimeter (stable area) which will act both as a deterrent to the admission of unauthorised persons and to the exit of horses. The area must be sufficiently large to allow horses to be evacuated from the stables in an emergency but still remain within the confines of the perimeter.


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 and/or grooms.


Access to stables must be limited to those persons indicated in VRs Art. 1005.2.5. It is essential that the official issuing authorised access be a responsible person of seniority within the Organising Committee.


  1. 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.


  1. 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. He may be assisted by deputies as required. 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. Any misdemeanours must be reported immediately 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 and to prevent any form of illegal practices.


  1. GROOMS


It is appreciated that grooms wish to remain with their horses 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 authorised persons with access to his/her horses, are familiar with the security and stewarding procedures operating at the event attended.


  1. MOVEMENT THROUGHOUT EVENT GROUNDS


Movement of horses 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.


  1. STEWARDING OF PRACTICE ARENA


The Chief Steward must ensure that all practice arenas are adequately stewarded all the time that they are officially open. He must also ensure that these arenas are subject to random control when they are officially closed.


  1. 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 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 indicate clearly any shortfalls, following which consideration may be given to altering the category of the event in future.

FOR INFORMATION



BASIC PRESS FACILITIES

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.


  • Programmes, starting orders, course plans and results must be available at all times. The media must be given priority in the distribution of final results.


  • A small, reserved working area should be available. This can be a small room or a separate space within the secretariat or show office.


  • At least one telephone line must be exclusively available for the media and must be accessible for modem. It does not have to be for free, but available for the media. It can be difficult for the media to find a suitable phone for connecting a laptop so this is a very helpful thing to provide.


  • One telefax must be available. As above, it does not have to be for free. Journalists can pay for their phone calls, but it does need to be available.


  • Press stand. Some seats should be reserved for the media close to the competitors.

  • Press officer. Even in the smallest show, there should be somebody aware that the media might show up and need some help. Within the organizing committee, somebody should be responsible for answering questions from the media if needed (including on the telephone) or to organize a press conference.
