Update on Developments in the Dressage Discipline

The FEI Executive Board has proposed the appointment of an Ad Hoc Working Group of world class Dressage experts from all aspects of the discipline to review key issues and inject a new focus in the sport.

At the forthcoming FEI General Assembly taking place in Buenos Aires (ARG) on 17th – 21st November, the Ad Hoc Working Group remit will be proposed for discussion and approval by the FEI Bureau.

The status of the members of the current Dressage Standing Committee, who have been called upon to resign, will be an issue for FEI member National Federations to address through the FEI Bureau and General Assembly as appropriate.

Proposed names of the Ad Hoc Working Group include: Frank Kemperman (NED), chairman and representative of the event organisers; Richard Davison (GBR), riders representative; Robert Dover (USA), trainers representative; Alain Francqueville (FRA), chef d’équipe. A further member representing the judges is being finalised.
