About the FEI
Dear FEI Eventing Judges and Technical Delegates,
We would like to remind you that your status as an FEI Judge or Technical Delegate also qualifies you to act as an FEI Level 1 Eventing Steward. By fulfilling the educational requirements of your role as Judge or TD, you maintain this stewarding qualification.
While some of you may already officiate as Stewards or have supported a Stewards team with tasks on certain occasions, others may not have had the opportunity. We believe it is essential to offer all interested officials a chance to gain deeper insights into the role of a Steward at FEI Eventing competitions. With social media and public perception continuously evolving alongside the ever-increasing emphasis on horse welfare, stewarding responsibilities have adapted significantly. It is crucial for those taking on this role to stay informed about the latest procedures and best practices.
In collaboration with the FEI Eventing Steward Directors, the FEI Eventing Department is pleased to invite you to the "Level Up Steward-Judge-TD" online course, designed to enhance your understanding of key stewarding aspects.
This interactive course will include case studies, opportunities to exchange experiences and direct discussions with FEI Eventing Steward Directors.
Two sessions are available for your convenience:
29 April | 11:30 - 14:30 CEST
10 November | 19:00 - 22:00 CET
These sessions are listed in the FEI Course Calendar, and registration is possible through your National Federation. Please kindly contact them to register.
We hope this opportunity to broaden your expertise will be of interest to many of you.
Thank you for your dedication to our sport,
FEI Eventing Department

Thank you for your continued commitment to our sport.
We are pleased to announce the launch of the new online FEI Calendar Modification Requests platform, allowing you to request changes to the approved 2025 FEI Calendar.
This online platform replaces the previous workflow which relied on submitting a PDF form by email and will now allow a more efficient and user-friendly experience for all National Federations.
The platform is available as of today, Monday 3 March 2025 and you can access it by using the following direct link.
It is also possible to access the FEI Calendar Modification Requests platform from the FEI Database under the Calendar/Results tab.
You require NF Calendar Admin to be able to access this platform, please contact your NF User Admin to grant access if required.
Guidelines on how to use the FEI Calendar Modification Requests platform can be found here.
Please note that as of Monday 31 March 2025 all calendar modification requests must be submitted through this platform. Calendar Modification forms in PDF format that are sent to calendar@fei.org will no longer be accepted after this date.
We therefore encourage you to start using the platform as of now for any upcoming modifications you need to make, to familiarise yourself with the various functionalities prior to it becoming mandatory.
For all FEI Events taking place in 2026 or later, for which the FEI Calendar has not yet been approved, you can carry on using the FEI Database as per the usual procedure.
Information for National Federations regarding the FEI Calendar can be found here.
If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact calendar@fei.org.
Kind regards,
The FEI Board has approved a change of date for the third leg of FEI Eventing Nations Cup™ 2025 at Strzegom (POL).
As you know, starting from 1 May 2025, the tightness of nosebands at FEI Events across all FEI Disciplines will be controlled using the FEI Measuring Device.
With the implementation day fast approaching, please be informed that as a priority, all active FEI Stewards will receive one FEI Measuring Device free of charge.
We kindly request your assistance in distributing the devices to your active FEI Stewards. The FEI will start sending packages to the National Federations in the upcoming week with a list of your FEI Stewards who are active and fulfil the requirements to officiate at FEI Events.
We will provide further information to the broader equestrian community on how to purchase the FEI Measuring Device.
We thank you for your vital support on this important project.

The second edition of the FEI Eventing Officials Education System document is now available online:
This document details the pathways for officials, explaining the education levels and requirements for courses, seminars, and the promotion of International Eventing Officials within the FEI.
A key enhancement is the introduction of the FEI Course Designer Mentoring Programme, which provides an alternative, accelerated pathway for candidates with outstanding talent in course design.
The review of the education system was conducted by the Eventing Education Working Group, incorporating extensive consultation and collaboration with key stakeholders in the Eventing community.
Due to extensive formatting revisions, a mark-up version is not available; however, the key changes that have been approved by the FEI Eventing Committee will be presented at the FEI Eventing Forum in Lausanne on 17–18 January 2025.
The updated documents on the FEI Eventing Officials Education System, Course Designer Mentoring Programme, and Career Pathways are also available here.
