At its recent in-person meeting, the FEI Board took the following Emergency Board Resolution: The following paragraph will be added to the FEI Veterinary Regulations, Article 1004 ‘Prohibited Methods’, for equine welfare reasons: “1004.4 It is strictly forbidden to use any type of substance/product inside or around the Horse’s mouth and/or tongue that may (i) imitate, induce or cause foaming; and/or (ii) coat or otherwise cover, or partially cover the bit. The prohibition excludes the use of products permitted in the FEI Tack App and the provision of permitted natural treats given in moderation. Contravening this rule will entail a Yellow Warning Card and Elimination.” This rule will come into effect on July 1, 2025.

What’s new during the Examination on Arrival?
You will now see the Horse's equine influenza vaccination status directly on the same page where you check the Horse Health Requirements.
If the Horse’s vaccination details have been recorded, the FEI HorseApp will indicate whether the Horse meets the FEI’s vaccination requirements according to the last one registered.
If there are vaccination details requiring validation by an FEI Official Veterinarian, you will be able to validate them during the Examination on Arrival at an FEI Event.
