    In Memoriam: Driving community mourns French Driving athlete Sébastien Mourier, 1979 -2022

    Sébastien Mourier, well-known and greatly respected French Driving athlete, sadly passed away on 28 June 2022, at the age of 43.
    Since childhood, Sébastien Mourier has been a member of the equestrian community, first taking part in Driving competitions at the age of 16 with a pony.  In 2011, he became French Driving Champion in the Amateur category, a title that would open the doors to the international Driving scene.
    His first participation at a major international event was the FEI Driving four-in hand European Championship in Izàk (HUN) in 2013. That was the first of two European Championship participations, while further career highlights would include, two FEI Driving World Cup™ Finals and the FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Caen (FRA).
    The FEI expresses its sincere condolences to Sébastien Mourier’s family and friends, the French Equestrian Federation (FFE) and the global equestrian and driving communities.

    In Memoriam: FEI Driving community mourns Gerhard Dittus (GER), 1942-2022

    One of the oldest Official FEI Veterinarian passed away on 13th. February, 2022, MVDR Gerhard Dittus. His passion was treating horses, and working as an FEI Official Vet in Jumping, Driving and Eventing. He was appointed for many years at the CSIO St. Gallen, Budapest, and as delegate on several European Championships in Driving and Eventing. He was also Veterinarian on Palio Sienna in Italy. He liked to come on shows in Eastern-Europe, mostly Poland and Hungary, and with his enthusiasm he educated a new generation of official vets in these countries. His home was always open for his friends, where they would enjoy his and his wife’s hospitality.

    We will miss his kind, humorous, open personality for a long time.

    He was 79 years old.

    The FEI expresses its sincere condolences to Gerhard Dittus’ family and friends, the German Equestrian Federation (GER) and the global equestrian community.

    FEI Driving World CupTM Season 2021/2022 - Access to the final

    Please be informed that, following the unfortunate cancellation of the CAI-W Leg in Bordeaux (FRA), the season has now been reduced to 4 legs.

    Therefore, as per the communication sent on 16.12.2022 regarding the FEI Board resolution, only one result may count towards the qualification for the Final.

    The FEI Driving World CupTM Standings have been calculated accordingly and reflect the final ranking. The 6 Qualified Drivers have therefore been selected as per the ranking.

    Ties have been broken as per Art. 1.4. “In the event that two or more Athletes are placed in 6th position, having equal points, the available position in the Final will be given to the Athlete with the highest number of first places achieved at the FEI World Cup™ Legs. If the Athletes are still tied with equal first places then the number of second places where the Athletes received World Cup points will decide, and so on until the tie is broken.”

    As only one result counts, there are two ties remaining, respectively for the 1st and 2nd rank, as well as for the 4th and 5th rank. These ties will be broken during the draw in the Final, as per Art. 6.1 and 6.1.1:

    “6.1. In the Final, Competition 1 is comprised of one round and, subject to Rule 3.7 will be run in reverse order of the standings after Phase 1 (Legs)

    6.1.1 Should there be a tie, the starting order of the tied Athletes will be decided by draw. The draw will be done by the PGJ.”
