Dear FEI Eventing Judges, Technical Delegates, Course Designers & Stewards,
This is a reminder that we invite you to attend the FEI Eventing Officials Webinar, session II, on 15 October 2024 from 12h00 to 13h00 CEST. A personal invitation has been emailed to you, including the connection link.
Agenda:
For any questions or queries please contact the FEI Eventing Department.
Kronenberg (NED), the Organiser of the FEI European Championships for Ponies 2025 for Dressage and Eventing, has informed the FEI that they are no longer in a position to host the Championships.
Therefore, the bidding process for these two Championships has been re-opened. Bids for one or both disciplines will be considered.
Organising Committees and National Federations are invited to submit their bid online via the FEI Bidding Platform, no later than Wednesday, 23 October 2024.
Should you have any questions, please contact bidding@fei.org
We would like to inform you of several key staffing changes within the FEI as we continue to evolve as an organisation.
After 37 years of dedicated service, Catrin Norinder, our esteemed FEI Eventing and Olympic Director, will be retiring at the end of this year. Catrin’s last day in this position will be 31 December 2024.
Since joining the FEI in 1988, Catrin has been involved in the organisation of equestrian sports at the Olympic Games starting with Seoul the same year. She also played a key role in the creation of the Eventing Risk Management Programme, and in the development of the discipline. Her exceptional contributions over nearly four decades have been invaluable, and we are deeply grateful for her leadership and commitment to the FEI.
We are also pleased to announce the appointment of Frédérique Reffet Plantier as FEI Director of Eventing, effective 1 January 2025. Frédérique, who is well known to many of you, brings a wealth of experience and expertise, and we are confident she will lead the Eventing department into an exciting new chapter. You can learn more about her appointment here.
As the FEI continues to grow into its important role as a service organisation for its member constituents, it has become increasingly important to ensure our operations remain as efficient and forward-thinking as possible.
As we enter a new Olympic cycle, the FEI is taking this opportunity to reassess the management of the Olympic Games and other multi-sport events to ensure optimal organisational efficiency and effectiveness.
Catrin Norinder will remain on board as a Consultant for the first to second quarter of 2025 to assist in Olympic and multi-sport Games matters, helping ensure a seamless handover.
We take this opportunity to announce, with regret, the departure of Olivia Robinson, FEI Communications Director, after 18 years of service. Olivia’s creativity, energy, and commitment have significantly contributed to the FEI, and she will be greatly missed. As she embarks on new personal pursuits, we extend our deepest appreciation for all she has achieved during her time with us.
As with the management of the Olympics, we are using this occasion to reassess the Communications Department.
The FEI Board held a teleconference on 24 September. The main Eventing resolutions taken on this occasion are listed below.

The FEI will launch the "Be a Guardian" initiative today, calling on community members to embrace their roles as guardians of FEI horses. A full press release will be issued shortly and can be found here.
The ‘Be a Guardian’ initiative represents a significant shift in the FEI's approach to equine care, emphasising the importance of horse welfare.
Based on the concept of guardianship, the Equine Ethics and Wellbeing Commission created a comprehensive document highlighting six priority areas and 30 recommendations to improve the welfare of sport horses.
The FEI has since developed an Equine Welfare Strategy Action Plan to address the priorities identified by the Commission.
Supported by a CHF 1 million allocation approved by the FEI Board in June 2024, this plan aims to enhance the wellbeing of FEI horses through robust rules, guidelines, educational programmes, and various initiatives.
The goal is to respect the natural needs of horses in international equestrian sports, fostering a global commitment to equine welfare and ensuring that horses receive the care and respect they deserve.
We urge our National Federations to embrace this call to action, actively promote this shift in perspective, and recognise the responsibility we all share in being the guardians of our beloved horses.
