Topline trends for FEI Events…

2020 FEI Events

Around 30% of Events scheduled to take place in 2020 actually went ahead. In real figures, this translates to 1,990 events held across the FEI Disciplines in 2020 (see breakdown below per discipline) versus an expected 6,664 Events to be held and scheduled in the FEI Calendar at the beginning of the year. Although a certain rate of cancellations can be expected on a yearly basis, it is fair to say most of the cancellations in 2020 can be attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Monthly breakdown of actual and cancelled FEI Events 2020 across all disciplines

Annual breakdown of actual and cancelled FEI Events 2020 per FEI Discipline

As the graph shows below, some disciplines were more impacted than others, with Driving and Vaulting both severely affected. Vaulting held just one international event in 2020 from an expected 139 (so less than 1% of events), while Driving saw 41 from 504 actually take place, so just 8% of events originally scheduled.

On the other end of the spectrum, Para Dressage was the least affected with a rate of 43% of international events held (21 from 49 originally scheduled) followed by Jumping at 34.5%, Endurance (33%) and Eventing at 32.5%.
