You will see that the closing date for 'nominations' is the 15th June 2009
Frans Van Meggelen is very keen that as many "Organising Committees" as possible should have the opportunity to propose a suitable candidate.
On receipt of these nominations, a list of the 'candidates' will be circulated - to everyone who has responded - so that these Organising Committees will have the opportunity to vote!

23nd Edition - Effective 1st January 2009 |
The present “Rules for Eventing” are effective from 1st January 2009. As of this date, all other texts of the Rules or amendments to them dated prior to this date are superseded.
Although this booklet sets out the detailed Rules of the FEI governing International
Eventing, it must be read in conjunction with the “Statutes”, “General Regulations”,
“Veterinary Regulations” and the “Memorandum for Eventing”.
Every eventuality cannot be provided for in these Rules. In any unforeseen or exceptional circumstances, it is the duty of the Ground Jury in consultation with the Technical Delegate to make a decision in a sporting spirit and to approach as nearly as possible the intention of these Rules and the “General Regulations”.
For the full text of the changes please click here, this is a PDF file. |

| Proposed Eventing Dressage Tests for 2009 |
The 'proposed' NEW Eventing dressage tests are available on the FEI Web site:
- www.fei.org
- Click on Eventing [as a heading at the top]
- Click on Dressage tests [on left]
- Scroll down - and see the 2009 TESTS "Not Yet Implemented"
May I ask those of you who are judges / coaches / trainers etc., to look closely at ALL these tests?
If you can persuade some suitable riders to test them- then please see them 'ridden through'!
It's vitally important that these 2009 tests are 'judge friendly' - so that each judge has a good view, at whichever marker they may sit - and not as at present, when some test movements are rather difficult to judge - particularly from the long side!
I would be grateful if you could pass back your comments to me [a.s.a.p.] so that I can 'collate' them, and send them to the FEI Eventing Committee.
Kindest regards,
Jean. |

| Important Message from Mike Tucker to the IEOC, on Monday 19th May 2008 |
The anxiety over safety in eventing particularly since the serious accidents that have taken place in the States this year, although as we all know it's not only there that has felt the trauma of these occcasions. As a member of the FEI International Safety Committee I do want everyone to know that considerable efforts are being made to take the whole safety issue forward on a world-wide basis.
Changes in administration at the F.E.I are not making for an easy and speedy passage, but that does not mean that we are sitting back waiting for everything to happen. I for one, am constantly badgering to get what was agreed by 22 nations in Copenhagen in January, on the statute books and working, as I am convinced that this strategy is absolutely right. However, it isn't proving straight forward to get there, but we are winning on several counts.

Stewards will be positioned (at stopping points or sector points) on the Cross Country course with a large yellow flag where on the instruction from the Ground
Jury or one of their appointed officials they may ask Cross Country control to implement the waving of the yellow flag to a rider who has been identified as
potentially infringing the points of Art 519 & 520 as below. For full details click here. |
