Welfare of The Horse – FEI Code of Conduct
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, tack, and
transportation
2. Horses and athletes must be fit, competent and in good health before they will be 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 of conduct is available on the FEI Website and included in the FEI Dressage Rules
Vaccinations & Biosecurity:
Vaccinations: We recommend that horses are vaccinated for Hendra virus, in particular those that
reside in high risk Hendra areas. We also recommend horse vaccinations for Strangles and Tetanus are
