RE: [RC] FEI/WEC Qualification Question - bobmorrisKim: The following are excerpts from the FEI Endurance rules. My latest copy is Jan. 2000, I have not been able to access the Jan. 2005 issue on line yet. Note that each qualification has a "weasel word" clause. i.e. 4.3 below and the clause "However, in exceptional circumstances the World Cup Committee may accept different qualification standards." 4. Qualification Procedure 4.1. In order for a rider/horse to be qualified to participate in a Senior Championship, both rider and horse (not necessarily as a combination) must have completed a Cat. A Endurance Ride during one day the two years preceding the Championship. 4.2. If the rider/horse has not qualified as per 4.1 above, the rider/horse (not necessarily as a combination) must have completed at least a 120 km FEI Endurance Ride during the period January 1 of the year preceding the Championship until the date of nominated entries for the Championship. 4.3. However, in exceptional cases, the Endurance Committee may accept different qualification standards. World Cup Final - Qualification for Horses 1. In order to qualify for participation in the World Cup Final, the horse must have completed at least a 120 km Endurance ride (National or International) during the period 1 January of the year preceding the World Cup Final until the date of the last qualifier. However, in exceptional circumstances the World Cup Committee may accept different qualification standards. 2. All horses entered for the Final must have a Certificate from their NF confirming that the horse completed at least a 120 km ride (National or International). These Certificates will be provided by the OC and must accompany the nominated entries.

If each country is allowed to have their own selection process for the WEC why does the US have an FEI COC requirement. This FEI COC just came into effect a few years ago...maybe less than 5? I thought a FEI COC was required for every nation to participate in a top level (WEC, Pan Am,) championship ride and that is why we established the requirement here in the US. I thought that this requirement was to ensure that every horse entered at the top level of FEI was qualified to compete at that level. If a FEI COC is not required at the international level why do we have it as a requirement? If it is required at the international level how did a horse from the UAE compete in it's first 100 at the WEC? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
