The FEI’s Eventing Committee will be hosting four forums over the next 10 months in Germany, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand as part of its consultation process on the future format for Eventing and 2013 rules revision.
The forums will be open to National Federations, Organising Committees, riders and officials.
The Eventing Committee’s consultation document, which can be viewed here and covers areas including competition formats and qualification of athletes and horses, will form the basis for discussion at these forums.
The first forum will take place on August 25 in Luhmühlen (GER) during the HSBC FEI European Eventing Championships. The second forum will be held on October 19 in Guadalajara (MEX) at the 2011 Pan American Games.
The third forum will be hosted in Adelaide (AUS) during the Australian International 3 Day Event (November 17-20) and the fourth during May 2012 in New Zealand. Exact dates are still to be confirmed.
“The future development of Eventing will be at the heart of these forums,” explained FEI Eventing Committee chair Giuseppe Della Chiesa (ITA).
“The feedback we have received so far from the global Eventing community has been extremely constructive. We are looking forward to discussing these key issues face-to-face and in further detail at the forums.”
Following the final forum in May 2012, the recommended rules revisions for Eventing will be finalised. These will be presented to the FEI General Assembly in November 2012 for implementation on 1 January 2013.
