FEI Core Values – Our Daily Work

Equine Welfare Fair Play Public Perception

It’s all about the Horse!

From herd living grass eater with a strong flight behaviour to international top athlete with only small changes in biology and behaviour. Equine welfare fundamentally is about meeting biological and behavioural needs. Our most important job is to ensure this within the context of Equestrian sports.
