Article 141 OWNERS AND LESSEES

1. NFs must keep a register of the owners and lessees of horses with
official passports.  Changes of owners and records of Leasing Agreements
must be entered in the passport and authenticated by the stamp and signature
of an official of the NF.

2. The nationality of a horse is that of its owner or of the lessee, where a
lease is current, or of the country
        in which the company owning or leasing it is registered.  A company
may, however, own a horse in
        partnership with an individual, see paragraph 3.

3. When one or more horses belong to a partnership of owners of different
nationalities, the owners must
declare to the FEI, before making the first entry, the nationality under
which the horse or horses will
compete and that nationality must be entered in the passports.  The horses
must retain that nationality
until the partnership is dissolved or the horses are sold.  Any consequent
change of nationality must be
reported to the FEI.

5. Competitors may take part in all competitions except Olympic Games with
horses belonging to owners
       of a different nationality.

6. A horse may be leased for all purposes under the following conditions:

6.1 A copy of the leasing agreement must be given to the owner’s NF and also
to the NF of the lessee, if of a different nationality, and the owner’s NF
must transmit a copy to the FEI
6.2 The leasing of a horse must be recorded by the owner’s NF in the horse’s
passport under “Details of Ownership”.
6.3 If a leasing agreement is cancelled during the period of the lease or is
renewed, the relevant NFs and the FEI must receive written confirmation from
the parties to the lease.
6.4 The lessee of a horse shall for all purposes, including the nationality
of the horse, be treated as if her were the owner and shall have the same
rights and duties.
