The FEI Jumping Department would like to inform you that the policy for making changes to already approved FEI schedules has been updated and will be applied to all schedules approved on and after 1 April 2024.
The wording has been revised as follows to allow flexibility for Organisers to make changes while keeping in line with the objective of the FEI Rules and Regulations which is to avoid Athletes being disadvantaged by late changes:
NB: Modifications to the approved Schedule can be accepted until two weeks prior to the Event, provided the closing date for Entries has not already passed; if the closing date for Entries has already passed, the FEI reserves the right to not approve the requested change. Additionally, no change may be made to a Longines Ranking Competition after the fifth Monday prior to the week of the Event. Prizes in kind, to be accepted as prize money to count for Longines Ranking competitions and total event prize money, must be easily convertible into cash (GRs Art. 127).
As of 1 April, whenever a requested change is accepted/refused after the closing date for Entries has passed, the FEI Jumping Department will provide a short explanation as to why the change is/is not accepted.
Please be informed that the next update of the FEI Tack, Equipment & Dress Database (FEI Tack App) will be released after the Easter holidays, on 8 April 2024.
Further to feedback received from numerous Athletes and Officials, who are seeking clarity regarding the use of tack and equipment during the Olympic & Paralympic Games in Paris 2024, the FEI agreed that this would be the last update of the FEI Tack App prior to the Games. The temporary pause of updates to the FEI Tack App will be applied to all FEI Disciplines, including non-Olympic Disciplines.
Following the conclusion of the Olympic & Paralympic Games in Paris 2024, the updates shall resume on every first Monday of the month, as per the usual process.

Who was the first woman to take part in equestrian at Olympic Games? |
|
 |
Jean Maurice Bonneau, well-known and greatly respected French Jumping athlete, Chef d’Equipe and FEI Jumping Committee member from 2008-2012, sadly passed away on 18 March at the age of 64. |
Bonneau discovered his passion for horse riding at the age of 12 thanks to Gérald and Michel de Béjarry. At the age of 18, he then went to join his brothers who were already established as professional riders, before setting up his own business in 1984.
Member of the French team from 1987 to 1996, his first participation at a major international event was the FEI Jumping European Championship in St.Gallen (SUI) in 1995, where France took home the bronze medal.
Further career highlights include his role as French Chef d’Equipe from 2000 to 2006, where he led the French team to gold at the FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Jerez de La Frontera (ESP) in 2002 and to team silver at the FEI Jumping European Championship in Donaueschingen (GER) in 2003.
“I had the pleasure of getting to know Jean-Maurice at Events and through our work together within the FEI Jumping Committee”, said Chair of the FEI Jumping Committee, Stephan Ellenbruch. “He was passionate and invested in our sport with an open mind allowing for good discussions. His passing is a heavy loss for the Jumping Community”.
Todd Hinde, FEI Jumping Director added “Jean-Maurice was a well-known and much appreciated member of the equestrian community. He will be dearly missed, and fondly remembered.”
The FEI expresses its sincere condolences to Jean-Maurice Bonneau’s family and friends, the French Equestrian Federation (FFE) and the global equestrian and Jumping communities.
