WELCOME BY THE FEI PRESIDENT Thank you for coming to Lausanne for the FEI Sports Forum 2013.

Your feedback on all these subjects is very welcome.

It is a great honour to be able to bring together the equestrian community at IMD, a top-ranked business school reputed worldwide for its executive development programmes that shape global leaders.

The Dressage Round Table will focus mainly on how we can ride on the huge wave of popularity the discipline is enjoying to secure its further development in terms of spectator numbers and media coverage. This is particularly important as we witness the number of FEI Dressage events rising annually. Last year, they totalled 401, compared to 360 in 2011.

Leadership is an area in which the FEI has concentrated a great deal of effort and resources to improving in recent years. We have become a modern, forwardthinking world governing body that is constantly striving to enhance and reinforce the framework of equestrian sport.

The rules that govern our disciplines are an essential part of that framework and this year, a full revision of the Jumping Rules will take place. Revision of the CSI Invitation rules (applicable to events in Europe) will be part of that process and will be one of the main points on the agenda of the Jumping Round Table at IMD. The aim of the revision is to align the 3* and 4* invitation rules with those of CSI5* events by stipulating that a defined percentage of riders must be selected in descending order from the Longines Rankings.

The Jumping Committee will provide an update on its consultation with the International Jumping Riders Club concerning proposed modifications to the rules governing the Longines Rankings. In addition, a report will be presented on evaluations of CSI-W Western European League events that were carried in the spring. This was a pilot project that followed discussions on the Event Classification System at last year’s FEI Sports Forum.

FEI Sports Forum Programme

Rules feature prominently on the agenda of the Driving Round Table. The full review of the rules for 2014 aims, notably, to remove ambiguities and align the event classification system with that of other FEI disciplines. A star classification system, combined with shorter – and therefore less costly – events will open the discipline to new athletes at lower levels, while reinforcing the difficulty of higher level competitions. When the same principles were applied to a review of Vaulting competition formats, the number of events more than doubled in a year.

We are convinced that the new rules will boost the appeal of Driving for athletes, spectators and media.

The forum devoted to Olympic and Paralympic Games qualification is an opportunity to discuss a subject that really deserves our attention ahead of the 2016 Rio Games. We are delighted that IOC Sports Director Christophe Dubi has agreed to join the panel of this forum and look forward to reviewing the qualification procedures currently in place.

The international movement of competition horses, another subject of this year’s FEI Sports Forum, is an area in which the FEI has made progress over the past two years. We have now reached a stage where the action of our National Federations can really help us to achieve goals that will benefit our sport considerably.

We will also explore possibilities for our athletes to compete without jeopardising their futures outside the arena. There is a lot we can do to help to ensure that new generations can commit to competing at high level events while acquiring levels of education or vocational training that will provide them with alternatives if need be.

On behalf of the FEI, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to IMD for allowing us to use their beautiful premises and for their valuable contribution to the Dual Career session.

This FEI Sports Forum could not take place without you. I thank you all again for joining us and look forward to spending two productive and constructive days with you.

WELCOME BY THE IMD PRESIDENT On behalf of everyone at IMD, let me welcome you all to the FEI Sport Forum 2013.

It is a tremendous privilege for us to host so many leaders from the world of equestrian sport.

Developing global leaders is at the very heart of what IMD does, so I am delighted that our school will play an active role in the Forum through the Dual Career session.

FEI athletes live and breathe riding and horses, but athletic careers don’t last forever. Once they stop competing for gold medals, elite performers often seek other challenges in the world of business.

Making this transition can seem like a daunting prospect, but it’s actually a wonderful opportunity.

Many FEI athletes are not even aware of the business skills they are already exercising, and how they might build on these in the future.

In some respects they are already managing their own small businesses. They deal with contracts, sponsorship, logistical arrangements and the media. They work with a supporting team. And the more successful athletes may also have strong personal brands.

...is IMD the best executive education investment YOU can make at a time like this?

This all provides an excellent base for FEI athletes to further their education and develop their business skills. In addition, I have no doubt that the passion and dedication they show in the sporting arena will transfer very well to the world of business.

When a world-leading sports federation spends two days at a world-leading business school, there is certain to be a stimulating exchange of ideas.

I trust that our congenial Swiss setting will provide an inspiring perspective for your current and future careers.

Because

» We are 100% focused on real-world executive development » We offer Swiss excellence with a global perspective » We have a flexible, customized and effective approach IMD is a top-ranked business school.1 We are the experts in developing global leaders

DUAL CAREER: PREPARING ATHLETES FOR THE WORKPLACE FORUM

DRIVING ROUND TABLE

The increasing professionalisation of sport requires athletes to dedicate most of their time to training and competition. Often at an age where others are starting their professional education, athletes face the problem of combining intense training and competition with professional education.

The FEI Rules for Combined Driving are undergoing a full review ahead of the 2014 rules being tabled at the next FEI General Assembly in November this year.

Society, as well as any responsible sports organisation, should enable its athletes to safeguard their future during their sports careers by providing them with opportunities to qualify for the job market.

This implies agreements between the sport and either the education sector or the labour market. It also requires education establishments to be flexible with regard to study times, attendance and examinations.

The last full review took place in 2009. There have since been some small changes to provide better clarity, as well as with some specific changes in 2013, which were introduced on a trial basis ahead of 2014.

The Sports Forum will allow attendees to discuss and review those trial changes, together with the full review to the rules for 2014.

The trial changes to the rules were as follows:

Online education gives students the possibility of obtaining recognised credits, which is why the FEI believes it is an adequate and flexible tool for its athletes.

During this session, an exciting new FEI project will be presented. Experts from business education and the labour market, as well as an internationally successful athlete, will speak about their experiences and examples of best practice in the area of the “Dual Career”.

• National Events that can be used for Championship Qualification • Possibility for Drivers to compete more than once at an event • Order of go in the competitions • Classification within the results • Redefining of the sections and their criteria • Changes to Marathon Obstacle rule

INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT OF COMPETITION HORSES FORUM

Decisions need to be made as to whether to retain these changes within the new rules, which will remain in place for four years.

Equestrian sport has expanded rapidly across all regions of the world but the generally disharmonised, and sometimes unnecessarily strict health requirements imposed by many government authorities for the importation of horses have been consistently identified as clear and major constraints to further development.

The proposed 2014 rules seek to continue the process of clarifying the rules and removing any ambiguities.

Often these requirements do not take into account the high levels of supervision and health care of the performance horse in comparison with most other types of horses. This has often led to delays in the movement of horses for competition and unnecessary costs.

FEI Sports Forum attendees will be invited to discuss changes to the competition format aimed at making the discipline easier and more open to new athletes who may wish to start competing in the discipline at international level.

Discussion will also be needed to finalise the rules for younger athletes following on from the successful Youth Championships in 2012.

This problem has been frequently raised by the FEI over the last two years and the failure to apply the principles of the OIE – the body delegated by the World Trade Organisation – has resulted in the OIE identifying areas where work needs to be undertaken to improve the situation.

A way forward has been mapped out and the OIE supports the principle of creating an officially recognised subpopulation of “High Health Performance Horses”. The processes needed to create a harmonised international system for the movements of such horses cannot only be the result of merely defining a clear description, but must also be supported by equestrian sport bodies, acting in partnership with their government authorities.

Speakers from outside the FEI will participate in this important session and will explain the steps that will be taken to bring about the necessary changes.

DRESSAGE ROUND TABLE Dressage is enjoying the highest interest in its history and the London Olympics were a fantastic showcase for the sport. How can we build on this by making it even more attractive and securing its further development?

What are the factors that contribute to the sport’s expansion? Is it, for example, the freestyle phase or the star status of competitors? Do we need to know more about our fans? How can we develop new, young sports stars? How important is TV coverage for Dressage and how far should we go to accommodate interest from TV broadcasters? Are too many important decisions made on the basis of intuition and myth rather than data?

The freestyle is clearly established as the most exciting part of Dressage. It has been a championship test since the FEI World Equestrian Games™ 1994 in The Hague and is now the class that draws the most interest from spectators, media and TV viewers. The judging format has developed rapidly, but what can we do to ensure that the winners are decided on the basis of criteria that are as fair and objective as possible? Ideas put forward include changing the artistic marks, further defining the degree of difficulty and improving the way the selected music is judged.

JUMPING ROUND TABLE The two sessions devoted to Jumping at last year’s FEI Sports Forum brought together more than 250 people. National Federation representatives, event organisers, athletes, owners, organisers’ clubs, FEI Technical Committee members, veterinarians, sponsors and media joined in passionate, lively and very constructive discussions.

The items on this year’s agenda are Jumping Rules Revision, the Event Classification System and Jumping Rankings. Particular emphasis will be placed on the revision of the CSI Invitation Rules, which will be incorporated, together with the CSI/CSIO Requirements, into the next edition of the Jumping Rules. The Committee encourages organisers to provide valuable feedback for the discussion of the Invitation Rules.

The Jumping Committee will present a report on the evaluations of 2013 CSI-W Western European League spring events. This was carried out as a pilot project for the Event Classification System proposed at last year’s Sports Forum.

During this Round Table, the Jumping Committee will also provide its recommendations to proposed modifications to the rules for the Jumping Rankings and encourages feedback from both the International Jumping Riders Club and Organisers.

The Jumping Committee and the FEI Jumping Department hope that all stakeholder groups will once again be represented at the Sports Forum.

biographies OPENING HRH Princess Haya Al Hussein FEI President SportBusiness International magazine recently called Princess Haya “one of the most effective and energetic leaders of world sport”. Her work with the FEI, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and other sport organisations is a labour of love with a long history.

Sport has been a dominant part of Princess Haya’s life since she discovered gymnastics at age six. She trained tirelessly for several years before heeding advice from her father, HM Late King Hussein Bin Talal of Jordan, and taking up riding.

Her decision ignited a lifelong passion.

Her interest in equestrian sport led to a string of “firsts”. At age 13, Princess Haya became the first female to represent Jordan internationally in Jumping. In 1992, she won an Individual Bronze Medal in the Pan-Arab Equestrian Games, becoming the only female to have won a Pan-Arab medal in equestrian sport. Additionally, she was the first Jordanian athlete to turn professional, signing a commercial contract with the Italian designer Loro Piana in May 2000.

In 1994, Princess Haya became athlete director of ‘Team Harmony’, a group of international show-jumping horses.

Between 1995 and 2002, Team Harmony won 36 international classes, eight national Grand Prix, seven International Grand Prix, and one Volvo World Cup Qualifier.

The Spanish Equestrian Federation named Princess Haya the Equestrian Personality of the Year in 1996, when she was just 22 years old.

In 2000, Princess Haya fulfilled a lifelong dream by competing in Jumping at the Sydney Olympic Games, where she had the honour of serving as Jordan’s flag bearer during the Opening Ceremony.

Princess Haya competed for Jordan in the FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2002 in Jerez, Spain. She was the first Arab woman to qualify for and compete in an equestrian world championship.

Princess Haya became President of the FEI in 2006 (and was re-elected in 2010) and joined the IOC a year later. Her work with both organisations is motivated by her love of equestrian sport and her belief that sport improves lives, empowers women, and breaks down barriers between people and nations.

Princess Haya served on the IOC Athletes’ Commission from 2005 to 2010. In 2013, she was reappointed as a member of the IOC Commission for Culture and Olympic Education and the IOC International Relations Commission, which she has served on since 2010 She was presented with the Guirlande d’Honneur (the Laurel Wreath) and ‘Celebrity of the Year Award’ by the Milan International FICTS Festival in 2006 in recognition of her leading role as an international athlete and President of the FEI, as well as for her meaningful promotion of cultural and ethical values, and the image of sport.

Thomas Batliner (LIE) Investment consultant and former Olympic Jumping rider

Dr Susanne Münstermann (GER) Chargée de Mission, World Animal Health Organisation (OIE)

Thomas Batliner participated in his first Jumping event at the age of 13 and went on to compete in several European Championships. In 1988, he competed in the Olympic Games in Seoul. During this time, Thomas, who studied economics, worked in the accounts department of the Swiss-based companies Neutra and Contaba.

He pursued his involvement in the equestrian world by taking on the role of President of the Liechtenstein National Equestrian Federation in 1989 and competing in the FEI World Equestrian Games 1994. From 2000 to 2006, he worked in the compliance department of First Advisory Group, an independent financial services provider. In 2004, he obtained a university degree in Business.

Since 2007, he has been self-employed, providing investment consultancy services to various companies.

Dr Münstermann is a veterinarian who completed her studies in Giessen, and her Doctorate at the Free University of Berlin (FUB), Germany. After some years of work in large animals practice, she pursued her specialisation degree in Tropical Veterinary Medicine and left Germany for Africa. After seven years in Kenya, she organised and directed the FUB’s first MSc courses for Veterinarians from Developing Countries, in the subjects of Veterinary Public Health and Veterinary Epidemiology. She was then offered the opportunity to set up a very similar MSc course at the Veterinary Faculty of Harare, Zimbabwe for Veterinarians and Entomologists.

Regional Projects on livestock development and capacity building in West Africa (based in The Gambia), and Southern Africa (based in Botswana). She then worked for international and regional organisations such as CIRAD, FAO and SADC. Throughout these 20 years in Africa, Dr Münstermann was involved in initiatives to harmonise veterinary regulations in an effort to enhance trade in livestock, including equines.

Dr Harald Müller (GER) FEI Executive Director, Education & Standards Harald Müller graduated from the German Sport University in Cologne (DSHS) in 1988 and received his doctorate in Sociology from the Eberhard-Karls University Tübingen (Germany) in 2004. His major research focus is on the interdependency of sport and developing societies. He has written several technical publications in the area of training theory, didactics and biomechanics. At the DSHS he was senior lecturer in athletics and weightlifting. Harald worked for many years as head of education at the International Federation of Athletics Federations (IAAF) in Monaco before joining the FEI in 2007.

Dr Münstermann is a keen rider and horse lover and actively participated in the sport as a student and young veterinarian. During her years in Africa, she supported national equestrian associations and riding clubs with a view to opening the sport to African riders.

In 2011, Dr Münstermann returned to Europe to work for the World Animal Health Organisation (OIE) as an expert in infectious diseases and on harmonisation of registration for veterinary drugs. Soon after she began work at the OIE, she was given the additional responsibility of dealing with the FEI – OIE Memorandum of Understanding and joint activities. Under this assignment a “roadmap” for future work to facilitate international movement of competition horses was drafted, which paved the way for even closer work with the FEI. Dr Münstermann was recently confirmed as the FEI seconded expert to the OIE.
