Horse sport’s “best of the best” recognised with coveted FEI Awards

Clean Sport
The FEI is part of a collaborative worldwide movement for doping-free sport led by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The aim of this movement is to protect fair competition as well as athlete health and welfare. But, this is not only applicable to the FEI disciplines, it is also applicable to all the other equestrian disciplines.
