FEI Focus, the official magazine of the Fédération Equestre Internationale, is now available online at the newly-launched www.feifocus.org, and is packed with fascinating equestrian stories, and stunning images and videos from around the globe.
The Highlights
Olympic Agenda 2020 will be a major focus at the FEI Sports Forum 2015 (27-28 April). Check out the article "In their own words – Proposing Change at the FEI Sports Forum 2015" where the three FEI Olympic Technical Committee chairpersons speak candidly to FEI FOCUS on the subject of the proposed changes – some controversial - to be discussed at the FEI Sports Forum, why they are relevant in today’s sporting context and why we should embrace change.
In an exclusive FEI Focus interview, Pat Christenson, president of Las Vegas Events (LVE), which operates in the biggest tourism capital of the world, opens the lid on the exciting and challenging world of organising major international equestrian events, including the Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping and Reem Acra FEI World Cup™ Dressage Finals in Las Vegas (15-19 April).
FEI Solidarity, the FEI’s global sport development programme, has supported over 60 equestrian projects since launching in 2012, and in this issue grooms on the Caribbean island of Haiti step into the limelight.
Rio 2016 marks twenty years of Para-Equestrian Dressage in the Paralympic Movement, and to celebrate, Germany’s multi-Paralympic gold medallist Hannelore Brenner wears her heart on her sleeve in FEI Focus.
