The FEI is dedicated to promoting equestrian sport that prioritises the welfare and integrity of the horses involved.  

Our mission is “to drive and develop equestrian sport globally in a modern, sustainable and structured manner with guaranteed integrity, athlete welfare, equal opportunity and a fair and ethical partnership with the horse”. 

Over the years, we have put in place various systems and mechanisms to ensure that this mission is upheld, including but not limited to discipline and Veterinary Rules which are being constantly reviewed and updated, anti-doping programmes, ethics and integrity units, educational initiatives and IT solutions for tracking horses.  

Throughout this section, you will discover a snapshot of the main initiatives and programmes in 2023 which reflect both the FEI’s ongoing work and the community’s commitment to echo the FEI’s mission and overarching value – Horse First.
