Moves are afoot to limit voting rights of countries that will never qualify a rider for the Olympics, but far too late to help those who favour teams of four.

Decision to replace show jumping could be unlawful; meanwhile UIPM president backtracks over his TV interview in another rollercoaster week.

665 athletes have signed a vote of non-confidence in their global governing body following the decision to drop riding from Modern Pentathlon.

Riding will remain a MP discipline for at least the next three years; no mention of improved welfare protocols in official UIPM communiques.

Welfare issues arising from the beating of Saint Boy at Tokyo look to be hastening the replacement of show jumping with cycling.

Countries from the Americas could have fewer chances than others to qualify for Paris 2024 under recently published proposals.

Only a handful of NFs responded to the FEI with feedback on the Tokyo format, but they unanimously back a return to the drop-score scenario.

Unlike other sports bodies, the FEI gives equal voting rights to its member federations whether they have thousands of participating riders or none.

Dressage riders followed correct procedures in their 2nd bid to allow top hats, but the FEI is standing firmly behind its 2019 pro-helmet vote.

The 'fake foam' used to imitate natural froth might be great in Fluffernutters, but it will be illegal in dressage.
