FEI Rules Revision 2021

As per the FEI Periodical Rules Revision Policy, a number of FEI Rules and Regulations are reviewed every four years. For 2021, the following Rules – Jumping, Dressage, Para Dressage, Driving & Para Driving - were supposed to be fully reviewed.

However, due to COVID-19 mitigating factors, and with the agreement of the Dressage, Para Equestrian and Vaulting Technical Committees, the Board have agreed to:

  • Postpone the full review of the Dressage and Para Dressage Rules to 2022 in order to:
    • Accommodate the review process of the Championships competition format at the Olympic and Paralympic Games to be held in 2021.
    • Allow for testing and insights on the new Code of Points for Dressage so that it can be introduced at the same time.
    • And finally, accommodate for the postponed Para Forum which will now be taking place in January 2022 due to COVID-19.
       
  • Bring forward the full review of the Vaulting Rules to 2021 (initially due to be fully reviewed in 2022) as a new concept that fulfils the needs of each class and level is ready to be presented and will benefit from being introduced in 2022 rather than 2023. 

Based on this, the Rules to be reviewed as part of the FEI Periodical Rules Revision Policy in 2021 are:

  • Jumping Rules
  • Vaulting Rules
  • Driving & Para Driving Rules

We would like to highlight the deadline of 1 March 2021 for National Federations and Stakeholders with whom the FEI has signed an MOU to propose Rules changes as per the FEI Statutes. You will find all the key dates, timelines and templates for the Rules Revision Process 2021 in the Governance/Rules Revision of inside.FEI.org.
