The FUTURE Where do we want to go? Which future? Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017

The FUTURE  Vision  To ensure:  Endurance athletes compete, complete & win fairly whilst maintaining high standards of horsemanship.  The sustained development of the sport globally, operating within the FEI Code of Conduct for the Welfare of Horses. Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017

The FUTURE  Values:  Clean Sport  Horsemanship & Welfare  Sporting Integrity  Partnership Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017

The FUTURE  Horse Welfare Early Endurance competition:  To complete the event is to win ; considered a personal achievement  The prize for competing the event was a ride (Quilty/Tevis) buckle and/or bag of feed Endurance as a modern professional sport success means:  Achieving personal & national expectations  Contributes to stature & prestige  Prizes- money & valuables  Increasing value of horse Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017

The FUTURE  Horse Welfare • Welfare example  As horses qualify from novice to 3 star endurance horses, the value of the horse increases.  A novice horse valued at $4,000 horse could sell for $40,000 or more once qualified  Increasing pressure on owners to get horse qualified for sale Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017

The FUTURE  Horse Welfare  The increased value of the endurance horse is filtering down through the sport in a number of ways:-  Increased demand for endurance horses internationally  Increased market value for proven endurance horses  Pressure to get a horse qualified as an endurance horse as soon as possible  Increased competition at local rides leading to faster times  Leads to increased risk to welfare of the horse  Increased responsibility of veterinarians to protect the welfare of the horse  Development of highly skilled endurance veterinarians Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017

The FUTURE Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017

The FUTURE  Mission of the Task Force:  Develop practical solutions,  Ensure horse welfare and a level playing field at Endurance events globally  Look at deploying modern technology  Achieve the goals of equality and integrity in all FEI Endurance competitions Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017

The FUTURE Recommendations Task force 3*, 4* 5* – Minimum level of Technology – Time keeping – Video Surveillance: Vet gate, Stables and trot outs – Use of GPS on horse and Athlete – Approved timing and Heart Rate Systems – Additional level of Competition – Limit number of Competitors – Standard Vet gate lay out – Review of Qualifications – New Formats , Show case – Rule enforcement – Fair Play – Rankings Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017

The FUTURE  WEG Review Recommendations:  Explore possible format changes for Endurance Championships;  Single day format costly and difficult for OC;  Longer Competition:  Better show case of discipline  Increased revenue for OC  More interest from public & media  Maintain growth and stability Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017

The FUTURE  Discipline Duration at WEG:  6 days of Reining (including 2 rest days)  6 days of Jumping (including 1 rest day)  5 days of Dressage (including 1 rest day)  5 days of Demonstration Disciplines  5 days of Para-Dressage  4 days of Eventing  4 days of Vaulting  4 days of Driving  1 day of Endurance Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017

The FUTURE  Spectator attendance at WEG  Eventing: 94,600 spectators over 4 days  Dressage: 83,000 spectators over 4 days  Jumping: 110,000 spectators over 5 days  Driving: 31,700 spectators with a marathon viewed by 16,000 persons  Vaulting: 33,300 spectators over 4 days  Reining: 14,000 spectators over 4 days  Endurance: 6,000 spectators Fédération Equestre I nternationale, Endurance Forum 2017, 02.05.2017
