There is a saying in my part of the world, that those who do of countries in modern horsesport is always going to be an not pay tribute to the past shall have no future. The FEI has advantage. But an event of the size of a World Equestrian an illustrious past, steeped in history. In fact, we are a proud Games only becomes extraordinary through the atmosphere organisation whose past is the very history of sport itself. in which the event is held. The combination of a knowledgeable According to historical records, the first ancient Olympic community and top class competition created an atmosphere Games can be traced back to 776 BC.; they were Games that that was magical. celebrated horsemanship, a tradition which has carried on to the present day. The IOC President, Dr Jacques Rogge, came to and we have continued to have regular communications since then. I Our recent past is no less proud, for we are now evolving from know that the development of this relationship can only serve an organisation that holds the history of sport in its hand, to to further strengthen the position of , and an organisation that also embraces the future. We are able to Jumping at the heart of the Olympic Family. take this step into the future because of the wise leadership of those who have guided the FEI to where it is now. The IOC is constantly striving to see its member IFs embracing universality. Through another legacy of Doña Pilar, the FEI is As HRH The Infanta Doña Pilar de Borbón took her leave of already laying the foundation of a truly global sport. In 2010 we the FEI at the General Assembly in Kuala Lumpur, she must all look forward to the first FEI World Equestrian Games outside have been very proud. Under the guidance of Doña Pilar, the mainland Europe and I am delighted that this setting will be at number of international competitions more than trebled and the very heart of horse country in North America, Kentucky. my ability to lead the organisation forward into a new era of growth is entirely down to the fact that the presidential legacy The year 2006 was a momentous year for both the FEI and for from that era reflects a modern sport on a stable platform. me personally. Being the first elected President of the FEI was an honour beyond words. When Doña Pilar left the Presidency she left us an astonishing gift, a gift that horsesport did not see the enormity of for Bringing the Manifesto, your Manifesto, containing your three months. It was, of course, the FEI World Equestrian wishes, to life and turning a policy framework into action has Games, Aachen - an event of such breathtaking sporting taken time in the discussion phase. More time than I would perfection that it was, without doubt, the jewel in the crown have liked, but I appreciate that, as a modern organisation, of horsesport in 2006. inclusive conversation is important. I am delighted that the Manifesto is now woven into the fabric of the FEI not least Only history can judge its long term effect but my instant through the FEI Business Plan which will go to the 2007 feeling, which has not changed since, was that we will view General Assembly for approval. the FEI WEG, Aachen 2006 as the benchmark of event organisation for many decades to come.

I am the character of the FEI, as the governing body of a sport as very aware that I endeavoured to engender a good team old as time, but whose function is cutting edge and a leader in spirit at Headquarters. I have striven to maintain the balance modernity among the family of IFs. between empowering the FEI Staff, while endeavouring to check their over enthusiasm, and by guaranteeing the balance Having achieved my target of raising CHF 10 million for the that must exist between them and the Executive Powers of FEI and following my Manifesto request that 20% of any Bureau and Board that represent the National Federations. revenue raised by me personally goes towards Development, While Headquarters has been given increased responsibility, this pillar of the manifesto has made a seismic move forward. there is no doubt responsibility must walk hand-in-hand with The Development Strategy based on the quantitative accountability. As an elected President I feel that my role is to analysis of the situation in developing NFs, carried out by the ensure that accountability. I will never be the one to take the Development Department, will become a major artery in the pressure off and allow the organisation to feel that it is doing body of the FEI.

My job is to be realistic with the help of friends from the FEI as well as a community of and to look at the FEI and the sport with unbiased eyes.
