FEI kills the fun

An Athlete and/or Horse, even if registered with the FEI, is not eligible to participate in an International Event or National Event (and so may not be invited by an OC to such Event or entered by an NF in such Event) if that Athlete and/or Horse has participated, in the six (6) months prior to the first day of the International Event or National Event in question, in an Unsanctioned Event.

That would eliminate a lot of US & Canadian and possibly even a few other International riders if it was applied to any of the Ocala area Schooling Shows.

“My home arena is all set up, and Cool Mountain has strutted his stuff in the dressage. Time faults in the cross-country and showjumping elements are a concern with my fitness; I think some of the younger riders may have the edge.”

“Clarification” from the FEI; https://inside.fei.org/fei/covid-19/22-april-2020

Typical FEI double speak. Online events do not qualify as competitions, but we’ll be happy to take your money and say they do

Oh right, the FEI is concerned about ‘horse welfare’ and a ‘level playing field’.

:lol:
