really International level

Bad experience - Regional competitions

Unfortunately we have some problems with regional (small) competitions. We are under pressure from the owners of horses, novice riders and local activists. They want to

• rganize competition without

any standards, but near the home and very cheep.

Examples of standards at regional competition

Ambulance on the regional show jumping competition

Provisional fences

Only one steward on the regional one day competition can’t do anything

FEI Support

We need the support also from FEI. The best solution would be to develop by FEI standards for small competition, for example:

• The minimum number of officials,
• Ambulance – standard, etc.

Thank you for attention
