ANNEXES III. THE FEI CODE OF CONDUCTFOR THE WELFARE OF THE HORSE The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) expects all those involved in international equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI s Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the horse must be paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences. 1. At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farriery and tack, and transportation. 2. Horses and Athletes must be fit, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete. This encompasses medication use, surgical procedures that threaten welfare or safety, pregnancy in mares and the misuse of aids. 3. Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event. 4. Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over. This covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement. 5. The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in their areas of expertise. A full copy of this Code can be obtained from the Fédération Equestre Internationale, HM King Hussein I Building, Chemin de la Joliette 8, 1006 Lausanne, Switzerland. Telephone: The Code is available in English. The Code is also available on the FEI s website: Page 3 of 38

To the greatest extent permitted by law, the FEI and the FEI Event Organiser shall NOT be liable for any damages relating to loss of property or injury of any kind to Athletes, Owners, Support Personnel or Horses at or in connection with an FEI Event and the FEI expressly excludes all such liability ATHLETES, OWNERS AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL Personal Accident and Health Insurance It is your responsibility as an Athlete/Owner/ Support Personnel to ensure that you have adequate personal accident insurance in place to cover your participation at FEI Events and in particular to insure against any personal injury or medical expenses arising from an accident, injury or illness which may occur at a FEI Event. You should check with your National Federation to confirm if your National Federation s insurance policy (if any) covers personal accidents and/or illnesses which may occur when you are attending/participating in FEI Events. If your National Federation does not have a personal accident/health insurance policy or if the National Federation s insurance policy does not cover personal accident or health claims, then you should obtain your own personal accident and health insurance policy to cover your attendance/participation at FEI Events Personal Property Insurance You should also ensure that you are insured against property loss, theft or damage which may Page 31 of 38

32 occur at an FEI Event. Again, the advice is to check with your National Federation to confirm if they have an insurance policy in place which would cover you in case of such property loss, theft or damage.

33 4. STEWARDING If an athlete is uncertain as to whether the boots he/she intends to use during an event are allowed, he/she or his/her representative should show the boots to the Chief Steward for his/her opinion before the boots are used in training or in competition. In addition, athletes are to be made aware that hind boots must be removed and placed again on the horse s legs in the presence of a Steward while in the warm-up arena prior to entering the competition arena for certain competitions. (If bandages are used in place of boots, athletes are not required to remove the bandages in the warm-up arena.)this procedure is compulsory for competitions for which boot and bandage control is mandatory, that is the Nations Cup, Grand Prix, and the competition with the highest prize money, and is at the discretion of the Chief Steward for other competitions. As an alternative to carrying out this procedure at the time designated by the Steward an athlete may ask his/her groom to take the boots to the in-gate and place them on the horse s legs in front of the Steward prior to the combination entering the arena. The Steward has the authority to intervene if a boot is deemed excessively tight by instructing that the boot be removed and put on again correctly. [Stewards are to note thatit is normal for a horse s gait to be somewhat affected immediately after boots have been removed and re-placed.]if an athlete or his/her groom refuses to remove and replace the boot(s) when instructed to do so by the Steward, a Yellow Warning Card will be issued to the athlete in question. If it is deemed impossible or unsafe to remove the hind boots in the warm-up arena prior to the combination entering the competition arena, due to an extremely excited or nervous horse, the boots of the horse in question are to be removed by the athlete/groom following the athlete s round upon leaving the arena and inspected by the Steward. This inspection may be carried out during the boot and bandage control if the boot and bandage control is carried out for the competition in question. This procedure does not replace boot and bandage control after completion of an athlete s round for competitions for which boot and bandage control is mandatory (refer to JRs Art ). 5. DISPUTES In the event of any discussion concerning the interpretation of the schedule (in translated languages), the English version will be decisive. 6. MODIFICATION TO SCHEDULE In exceptional circumstances, together with the approval of Chefs d'equipe, host NF delegate, if any, and the Ground Jury, the Organiser may change the schedule in order to clarify any matter arising from an omission or due to unforeseen circumstances. Any such changes must be notified to all athletes and officials as soon as possible and they must be reported to the FEI Secretary General by the Technical Delegate, the President of the Ground Jury or the Foreign Judge, as applicable. 7.
