FOREWORD BY THE FEI PRESIDENT

The world in which we seek to steer a course for modern protect the future of Jumping. The resulting dialogue was an horsesport is changing fast and it was against that backdrop active demonstration of the new status quo. that the scenery of horsesport moved, once again, and to great effect in 2007. As an athlete I had watched the growth of the Global Champions Tour prior to my election, and understood that It is testament to the strength of Para-Equestrian that although its creation did not happen in a vacuum. It was the obvious it only joined the FEI in 2006, it has already become a vital and inevitable answer to a cluttered commercial landscape and vibrant member of the FEI family. The hosting of the fi rst in that discipline. This question of the balance between the ever FEI World Para-Equestrian Dressage Championships at commercial and competitive needs of horsesport is a live Hartpury (GBR) in July 2007 marked a historic moment for debate that will take time and determination to resolve. equestrian sport not only because of its fi rst running but also for the manner in which it was run. The work of the team to But as the commercial mapping process continues, it was keep the competition going, despite freak weather conditions, important to see the FEI World Cup™ Jumping series, one of was exceptional. I was particularly touched to hear that the the FEI’s key commercial products, further strengthened by riders in the CDI had volunteered to cancel their competition the announcement of its partnership with Rolex. realising the importance of the Championship to the Para- Equestrian competitors. Let us ensure that this spirit of Fair In Arabic they say “What is learned in youth is carved in Play and recognition of each other’s needs as athletes is never stone” and the awarding of the fi rst ever FEI license to a game lost in horsesport. developer and distributor was, I believe, of signifi cance both on a commercial level and for the future marketing of the sport. The infl uence of Para-Equestrian is reaching out across the FEI and I was particularly delighted that Lee Pearson was elected The award to Atari lead to the development and launch in Chairman of the fi rst ever FEI Athletes Committee and to Autumn 2007 of My Horse and Me, a video game featuring have attended its inaugural meeting at FEI HQ in August. sport of the fi nest kind and lifestyle experiences at a level The establishment of this committee not only provides the of detail and authenticity never seen before in this gaming athletes with a voice but also serves as an omnipresent genre. reminder that without our athletes, there is no sport. We know that engaging with youth is one of the greatest The athletes from Jumping served to remind the FEI that challenges facing all sport and to have the capacity to their voice is a reasonable, responsible and visionary one take horsesport to the gaming audience has given us the when the FEI and the Global Champions Tour were brought opportunity to talk directly to both the athletes and fans of together in September by brave athletes who wished to horsesport in this and future generations of young people.

FEI ANNUAL REPORT 2007 05 Youth is the lifeblood of our sport and we celebrate it here in this publication. Success may be achieved at a later age than in many sports but if we do not generate interest in children and young people we will not maintain the pipeline of talent which will provide the Olympians of tomorrow.

Very few sports want to admit it but their viewership and membership is ageing. Young people are raised in a society which delivers them instant gratiﬁ cation, they don’t want complicated sport, it is part of an alien culture to train for ten years in the hope of achieving some far distant medal. They want six-hour success. Their entertainment choices are very cluttered but we must make sure that we are a loud voice in a noisy room and that we plan our sport with our future audience in mind.

My visit to the Good Luck Beijing - HKSAR 10th Anniversary Cup (Test Event) in Hong Kong was a reminder of the extraordinary opportunity presented by the Olympics in presenting horsesport to the audience of Hong Kong and mainland China. I was delighted to be able to share with IOC President Jacques Rogge the excellent plans established between BOCOG and the FEI with great support from The Hong Kong Jockey Club.

The Benchmarking study undertaken towards the end of 2007 gives us a clearer idea of the position of the FEI against other International Governing Bodies. There is much still to do but I felt the ﬁ ndings were encouraging and in some areas surprisingly positive. Because I am very keen that our stakeholders should reach their own conclusions on the report, I do not intend to evidence my comments here. I would, however, like to highlight the areas relating to governance as these are germane to this review of the FEI’s performance during 2007. By comparison with other International Governing Bodies the report demonstrates that we are the leading International Governing Body for the democratic representation of athletes and as an International Sports Federation I think we should be delighted with this news. In addition, we have already achieved the IOC’s goal of at least 20% of women on decision-making bodies and we have the highest percentage of women in our decision-making bodies of any International Governing Body.

Finally I would like to close by saying how enormously grateful I am for the support I receive from a very committed Volunteer Body and from a strong, creative, and hard-working Executive Team. They both continue to confront the issues facing horsesport, in the ﬁ rst decade of the 21st century, with energy and a constructive attitude and are carrying out a programme of reform that will ensure the future of horsesport well into the 22nd century.

FEI ANNUAL REPORT 2007 19 SECRETARY GENERAL’S REPORT

With my nomination as FEI Secretary General only hours old, Within the framework of the core values, the year saw much it gives me great pleasure to retrace some of the steps taken work on other key tools such as the start of the drafting of an in 2007, a year replete with change but also of modernisation operations manual, new thinking on management planning, and consolidation. Much scrutiny was placed on our activities, and the launch of an ambitious overhaul of information a positive and necessary exercise which not only led to very technology systems. pertinent feedback but also yielded a clearer direction and understanding of the role and objectives of the headquarters The FEI21 project, which stands for FEI in the 21st century, was and the responsibilities to both the sport and its stakeholders borne out of close scrutiny and is a major revamp of all IT and members. related structures at the headquarters, whether in terms of registration, results, interactive web-based features, to name The FEI continued on the exciting if somewhat steep road to but a few aspects of this far-reaching project.

My vision is that of an aligned FEI, where in all development related areas so that the developing the goals and efforts of each FEI staff member or contributor equestrian nations, their organisers, offi cials and athletes of are aligned with those of each department, and in turn with the future have an opportunity in which to further their skills the objectives that are part of the President’s Manifesto. I and realise their potential. sincerely believe in a focused FEI working professionally with a service-oriented mindset. As such it will achieve new heights, Staying ahead of the game, or even with the game, is a given the passion that drives its staff and volunteers. key component for the success of our sport – not only in

20 FEI ANNUAL REPORT 2007 terms of youth, but also in terms of emerging equestrian and service-driven institution. I am proud to be taking up nations. Indeed, development has the ability to maintain its reins and look forward to discovering the fruits of these the health and balance between the now, the past and efforts in the future. the future of our sport and to this effect, Harald Muller joined the FEI Development team, as Executive Director for Development and Sports, bringing with him extensive experience and knowledge in development from athletics. Development must necessarily be approached in a structured and consistent fashion, and it was rewarding to Alexander McLin see that our hard efforts had paid off when the FEI Coach Education and Certiﬁ cation System was recognised as the only qualiﬁ cation recognised for equestrian coaches by the European Union.

Efforts in the ﬁ ght against doping continued apace, with a number of notable changes seeing the day. Further to the adoption of the new FEI Statutes, the former Judicial Committee became the FEI Tribunal, highlighting its role as the judicial branch of horse sport’s governing body, with the prosecutor’s role housed within the executive branch. The Tribunal issued Internal Regulations, codifying the procedures that govern a case being heard before it. Outside the hearing room, the Tribunal and Legal Department collaborated so as to continually track the progress of cases, with the conclusion that while progress is being made on the time taken to issue decisions, there is room for continual improvement in processes. Appeals lodged against FEI Tribunal decisions before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), were either upheld or withdrawn by the appellant before decision, conﬁ rming a positive trend.

All of these undertakings and achievements have seen through the establishment of key additional building blocks for an increasingly modern, dynamic, passionate,
