The FEIF Conference 2017 took for the first time place in Helsinki, Finland and was organized with the great help of the Finnish Icelandic Horse Association. As every year, the FEIF Conference started with the Annual Delegates’ Assembly, the highest authority within FEIF.
12 out of 18 FEIF member countries entitled to vote participated in the Delegates’ Assembly 2017.
The Icelandic Horse Association in Liechtenstein (LIIV) was welcomed by the delegates as a full member of FEIF, so the FEIF family now includes 21 full and associate members.
The delegates unanimously re-elected Gunnar Sturluson, FEIF president and Gundula Sharman, FEIF Director of YouthWork for 2 years, Doug Smith, FEIF Director of Sport was elected for 1 year and Cosima König, member of the FEIF Arbitration Council, was elected for 3 years.
The delegates unanimously approved the auditor’s report and the Board of FEIF was released from its responsibility.
The sport proposals on the descriptions of the pace tests were withdrawn to be further elaborated in the sport committee. The proposals on the membership fee for the next years, equipment and shoeing, standardization of terms, disqualification, re-shoeing, late withdrawal, C-Finals, reserve youth riders and many more were accepted by the delegates. Also the breeding proposals on the clarification text for naming of the horses and the head judge regulation were accepted. All changes will be included in the FEIF Rules and Regulations but also published as separate document on the FEIF website (valid from April 1, 2017)
