Efforts to resolve the problems in endurance are gathering pace, with the FEI announcing “concrete steps” to bring about change, including Dubai-sourced funding for the recently announced special task force.
Changes announced today include a sponsorship reshuffle affecting the upcoming FEI Alltech World Equestrian Games.
The FEI has provided more details over the special task force aimed at finding practical solutions to bring the endurance controversy to an end.
