III. 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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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:

Fédération Equestre Internationale

HM King Hussein I Building
Chemin de la Joliette 8
1006 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.fei.org.

Equestrian sports involve inherent dangerous risks. To the greatest extent permitted by
law, the FEI and the FEI Event Organiser shall NOT be liable for any damages relating to
loss of property or injury of any kind to Athletes, Owners, Support Personnel or Horses at
or in connection with an FEI Event and the FEI expressly excludes all such liability.

1.1 ATHLETES, OWNERS AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL

1.1.1 Personal Accident and Health Insurance

It is your responsibility as an Athlete/Owner/ Support Personnel to ensure that you have
adequate personal accident insurance in place to cover your participation at FEI Events and
in particular to insure against any personal injury or medical expenses arising from an
accident, injury or illness which may occur at a FEI Event.

You should check with your National Federation to confirm if your National Federation’s
insurance policy (if any) covers personal accidents and/or illnesses which may occur when
you are attending at/participating in FEI Events.

If your National Federation does not have a personal accident/health insurance policy or if
the National Federation’s insurance policy does not cover personal accident or health
claims, then you should obtain your own personal accident and health insurance policy to
cover your attendance/participation at FEI Events.

1.1.2 Personal Property Insurance

You should also ensure that you are insured against property loss, theft or damage which
may occur at an FEI Event.

Again, the advice is to check with your National Federation to confirm if they have an
insurance policy in place which would cover you in case of such property loss, theft or
damage. If not, then you should obtain your own personal property insurance to cover such
situations.
