Vaulting Qualification for 2024 Championships – Rules Change Proposal
The Board agreed to proposed modifications to the Qualification System for the FEI Vaulting Championships 2024 to include a qualification requirement for Squads and Horses. This proposal is the result of a survey conducted on the future on the discipline ahead of the online Vaulting Forum, held in February 2023, followed by discussions between the Chairs of the FEI Vaulting Committee and the EEF Working Group Vaulting.

The FEI will share the new Qualification System with the National Federations and Stakeholders before the remaining FEI Vaulting Rules modification proposals are published on 28 June 2023, and with the clarification that such changes would only apply if the proposed rule changes to the FEI Vaulting Rules are accepted by the FEI General Assembly 2023. The proposal will be communicated at an earlier stage because the qualification period for the FEI Vaulting Championships 2024 started on 1 January 2023.
