The FEI Endurance Committee held a special meeting on 29 October in London (GBR) primarily to discuss the problems that arose during and following the World Equestrian Games Endurance Event. They were joined at the meeting by Prof. Leo Jeffcott Chairman of the FEI Veterinary Committee and the FEI Secretary General Dr Bo Helander.

As the files on the two horses that died have been sent to the Judicial Committee the committee did not discuss these specific cases, however they did agree that many aspects of the WEG Endurance were poorly organised and that much more control was required for future Championships.

The Committee further discussed methods to protect the welfare of horses competing at major rides and agreed on a number of new proposals that will be presented to the FEI Bureau at its meeting next week in Moscow (RUS).
