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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 FEI, 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.
