Furthermore, the Tunisian Equestrian Sports Federation invites the presidents of the equestrian sports associations affiliated to it to attach the utmost importance to this matter and to raise awareness amongst their members and supporters regarding compliance with preventive measures relating to biosecurity procedures, in order to ensure the continuity of sporting activities throughout the sporting season.
