World Horse Welfare has become the fourth former Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) associate member to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the FEI.

The FEI has collaborated with World Horse Welfare, an international horse welfare charity, for over 30 years, developing the FEI Equine Welfare Code of Conduct; funding sport horse development projects through its FEI Solidarity initiative; and working together on animal health projects including reducing journey times to competitions, cooling techniques at events, and studies into training and competition surfaces.

World Horse Welfare, founded in 1927, focuses on improving the lives of horses around the world through education, campaigning, and hands-on care. HRH Princess Anne, The Princess Royal, has been president of World Horse Welfare since 1994. British Eventing Olympian Pippa Funnell is a trustee of the charity, and China’s first Olympic Eventing athlete, Alex Hua Tian, is also now a World Horse Welfare ambassador as part of the charity’s recently launched patron scheme to harness the growing support of recognized figures in and out of the equestrian world, and to help create a wider awareness of the charity’s far-reaching work and its impact.

The MOU was signed by FEI First Vice President and chair of the FEI Veterinary Committee, John McEwen, and World Horse Welfare Chief Executive Roly Owers at last week’s 22nd National Equine Forum in London, England, which brought together a panel of prestigious speakers from government, welfare, veterinary science, and equestrian sport
