The International Federation for Equestrian Sports

The International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) is the global governing body for the sport of equestrian, overseeing disciplines like dressage, show jumping, eventing, and vaulting. It sets international rules, ensures athlete and horse safety, and promotes fair competition. The FEI also organizes world championships and works to develop equestrian sport worldwide, fostering cooperation among national federations. Its role is similar to that of FIFA in soccer or FINA in swimming, providing unified standards and guidance to maintain the integrity and professionalism of equestrian events globally.
