Information for Riders Competing overseas in National and FEI Competitions
If you are thinking of competing overseas in either National or FEI level competition you are required to have the following:
- International Competitors Licence
- Current EA Membership
- FEI Registration for horse and rider (if competing in FEI events)
- FEI Passport for your horse (if competing in higher FEI level events)
If you are competing in FEI events overseas then you need to inform Equestrian Australia (EA) so your entry can be endorsed by EA and entered into the FEI Entry System.
In order for your entry to be made in the FEI Entry System you and your horse will need to have a current FEI registration and your horse a current FEI Passport (if applicable).
Please note that even though Equestrian Australia makes your entry into the FEI Entry System you are still required to contact the OC directly to book your stabling and pay for your entries. Equestrian Australia only endorses your entry to compete.
To request an entry for an FEI event outside of Australia please allow 4-weeks before the entry needs to be made and contact the following people:
- Dressage/Driving/Endurance/Vaulting - Di Saunders [email protected]
- Para Equestrian – Nick Hunter [email protected]
