A special thank you to 

Acting as the FEI’S Research Partners since 2015, IRIS have been carrying out extensive media monitoring of the FEI’s key Series across various disciplines including Jumping, Dressage, Eventing and Vaulting. The cross media results are multi-faceted, covering print, online and social media as well as broadcast where relevant. In addition to their original scope, IRIS was asked by the FEI in 2016 to oversee the organization’s largest ever market research project that served to better understand the equestrian industry, community and its fans as a whole. The findings of the study quickly became the cornerstone of the FEI’s discipline approach, officially launched in 2017, and its commercial strategy.
