ENDURANCE VETERINARY SEMINAR
On 25 and
Over 16 speakers gave presentations on a wide range of related subjects and many
of the seminar attendees also visited the site of the Endurance Nations Cup
which was held over the two days immediately following the seminar and course
programme.
The main objectives of the seminar were:
- To provide high quality continued professional education to stimulate interest
from a broad base of practicing equine veterinarians for Endurance and other
"stamina" related equestrian disciplines.
- To provide the opportunity for experienced national and international Endurance
Event veterinarians to interact with members of the research community to help
define areas of clinical concern in order prioritise projects that require
urgent investigation to benefit equine welfare as supported by the FEI Bureau
and for which it has reserved funding.
- To provide an opportunity for veterinarians nominated by their NFs to complete
the required FEI Event Veterinarian Course.
- To define the necessary qualifications required for the classification of Endurance
Event & Treatment veterinarians as presented at the recent Bureau meeting
(see FEI Bulletin 6/03).
Dr Frits Sluyter, Head of the FEI Veterinary Department and a speaker at the seminar,
commented, 'A significant step forward in Endurance research and ultimately in
the welfare of Endurance horses'

The FEI unveils
today its new website www.horsesport.org
Over the last few
years, the FEI website has become an essential tool in the FEI communication
strategy, but also a central depository of official documents, rules and
regulations and other reports prepared for the benefit of the National
Federations, FEI officials and all those involved in the running of equestrian
events.
The structure of the
website was completely re-thought and simplified. A colour scheme by
discipline, based on the FEI discipline pictograms, and straightforward menus
also facilitate the navigation within the website which already includes no
less than 300 pages.
The latest FEI
internal developments, such as the FEI calendar database and a tool allowing
extensive search through the results of the three Olympic disciplines, were
integrated in the new website and more features will continue to be included in
the coming months. Dedicated space has been reserved for the Technical
Committees to inform the equestrian community on what is going on in their
specific field of activity.

FEI EVENTING COMMITTEE MEETS
WITH RIDERS
A meeting with the riders was
organised on
There were approximately 75 riders in attendance, many of whom had been at Burghley
the previous week-end. The meeting represented a good opportunity to discuss
riders' concerns and consider the following issues:
1. The lessons to be learnt to
improve communications between Technical Delegate, Ground Jury, Course
Designer, and Rider Representatives
2. On-going works in the field of safety
3. Responsibilities of officials
The meeting was both
productive and held in a positive atmosphere and the debate proved very useful.
It was decided that ERA (Eventing Riders Association) would be invited to
meet with the FEI Eventing Committee at its next meeting in Pau in October
2004, after further consideration could be given to the points raised by all
parties.
