    FEI Board Resolutions, 16 July 2024 - Paris 2024

    The FEI Board held a teleconference on 16 July. The Paris 2024 resolutions taken on this occasion are listed below.

    Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games
    FEI Regulations for Equestrian Events at the Olympic Games - correction
    The Board approved the proposed corrections to the FEI Regulations for Equestrian Events at the Olympic Games Paris.

    Article 630.4 now reads:
    “The Athlete/Horse combination to be substituted will be replaced by the Ap Alternate Athlete/Reserve Horse combination, provided the Reserve Horse has passed the Second First Horse Inspection or the a re-inspection for the Second First Horse Inspection.”

    Dressage – familiarisation (Article 627.6)
    The first Dressage horse re-inspection has changed from 29 to 30 July due to logistical constraints with the overall timetable. This means that the re-inspection will only take place after the familiarisation session which will be held on 29 July.

    The Olympic Regulations were therefore clarified stating that only horses that passed the first Horse Inspection are allowed to participate in the familiarisation session. This is the same approach that has been taken in relation to participation in the Jumping training session (i.e. horses that are awaiting re-inspection cannot participate in the training session).

    The amended Article 627.6 now reads:
    “Horse Inspections will be carried out in accordance with Veterinary Regulations (VRs).

    “The starting order per Nation will be determined by a draw. Nations will present themselves in order determined by the draw and by Horse numbers of each nation. Each team can present a maximum of four (4) horses (including the Reserve Horse) at the Horse Inspection. Only Horses that have passed the first Horse Inspection are permitted to participate in the familiarisation session.”

    The updated FEI Regulations for the Equestrian Event at the Olympic Games will be published here.

The FEI Certificate of Capability must include the record of the results obtained in Competitions, satisfying the requirements as laid down for the respective discipline in the FEI Regulations for Equestrian Events at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, confirming that the Athletes and the Horses have obtained the necessary experience and ability to participate at the required standard.
    Jumping - Dressage - Eventing - Horse Owners Information - FEI Certificate of Capability - Nominated Entries

    The FEI Nominated /Certificate of Capability Entry forms include the space to enter the Horse Owners, this is in relation to the counter-check for the Sport entry deadline (8 July 2024).
    The Paris2024 Sport entry system (8 July 2024 – Sport entry deadline) will require that NOCs/NFs declare - ‘Horse Owner 1’ and ‘Horse Owner 2’ – in the fields that are set up as drop-down lists, with names from the accreditation system that are registered in the Horse Owner category. The Horse Owner 1 must be validated against the Horse Passport.
    In case an NOC/NF decides to make a Pre-competition Change (LAR) before the first Horse Inspection of the respective discipline with a Horse from the FEI Nominated Entries different from the Horse entered by 8 July 2024, the Horse Owner information must be available and entered in the system accordingly.
    We invite NOCs/NFs to submit the information of Horse Owner 1 for any Horse not included in the Paris2024 Sport entry system separately to the FEI by 8 July 2024 to ensure that the FEI can confirm the information and allow a potential transfer if needed.
    Jumping - Dressage - Eventing - Prefix and suffix for commercial names

    No commercial prefix or suffix will be included with the name of a Horse on any Olympic participation/entry, start or result list. The FEI reserves the right to amend any Horse’s name accordingly (see Olympic Regs Art. 606.2.5).
    It is the responsibility of the NF/NOC to remove (indicated as strikethrough text or in quotation marks) any commercial prefix or suffix from the names of the Horses listed in the Certificate of Capability. FEI Headquarters will review the list and confirm any additional changes when confirming the Nominated entries (Certificates of Capability).

    Any Pre-competition Change can only be made with another Athlete/Horse combination that has obtained the Minimum Eligibility Requirement for participation according to the relevant discipline rules and duly entered on the FEI List of Nominated Entry list from 25 June 2024.

Submitting the floorplan in time is mandatory for all athletes who qualified either for the Grand Prix Special (Team Athletes) or directly for the Grand Prix Freestyle (Individual Athletes). This submission deadline was selected not only to give athletes as much time as possible to decide which floorplan they want to use, but also to enable storytelling around the specific difficulties of these floorplans and to facilitate the Olympic Broadcasting Service capture combinations in the best way possible. Please note that athletes can contact the FEI through dressagefreestyle@fei.org should they wish to check that their floorplans are correctly entered.
    Paris 2024 - NOCs uniform submissioni - Authorised Identifications

    Prevention on the manipulation of competitions

    In the lead up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games (Paris 2024) the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has recently launched the campaign “Believe in Sport” to raise awareness about competition manipulation and most importantly about what is permitted and what is not permitted during Paris 2024 by any accredited person to the Games.
    Keeping sport fair is a top priority for the IOC and for the FEI. As the manipulation of sports competitions has become an area of great concern in recent years within the sports world, the FEI remains committed to fighting all forms of cheating that threaten both the integrity and the essence of sport.
    It is important to note that this information concerns not only Athletes and Officials, but any person accredited to the Games as the Athletes' Support Personnel, such as trainers, owners, grooms, veterinarians, etc… Furthermore, Executive Board and Board members, as well as their guests are also concerned.
    It is the personal responsibility of everyone involved in the Games, to be aware of the Olympic Movement Code on the Prevention of Manipulation of Competitions including, without limitation, what conduct constitutes a violation of the Code and to comply with the Code's requirements.
    Always remember these four basic Rules:
    Rule #1: Don’t fix the competition and always do your best
    Rule #2: Don’t bet on your own sport or any event at the Olympic Games
    Rule #3: Don’t share information about health issues and sport tactics
    Rule #4: Speak up! If you witness or suspect competition manipulation, you must report it.
    For more information on the prevention of competition manipulation (such as definitions, what is permitted and what is not permitted at Paris 2024, the Code on the Prevention of Manipulation of Competitions, the e-learning course or the Reporting Mechanism) click here.
