THE FEI CODE OF CONDUCT FOR THE WELFARE OF THE HORSE
The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI expects all those involved in international equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI’s Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the horse must be paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences.

• At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farriery and tack, and transportation.

• Horses and competitors must be fit, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete. This encompasses medication use, surgical procedures that threaten welfare or safety, pregnancy in mares and the misuse of aids.

• Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event.

• Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over. This covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement.

• The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in their areas of expertise.

A full copy of this Code can be obtained from the Fédération Equestre Internationale, Avenue Mon-Repos 24, CH-1005, Lausanne, Switzerland. Telephone: +41 21 310 47 47. The Code is available in English & French. The Code is also available on the FEI’s website: www.fei.org.

Veterinary Regulations  - 11th edition 2009 - Annex VI
Equine Influenza Vaccination
Equine Influenza (EI) is a viral respiratory disease, which is highly contagious to susceptible horses. Outbreaks of the disease are occurring with increased frequency worldwide despite the widespread use of vaccines. The highly contagious nature of equine influenza means that it has the potential to seriously compromise international movement of horses. For a number of years the FEI rules have required an annual booster vaccination, but recent research indicates that, for many vaccines, protection declines after a few months. This means that towards the end of the vaccination year horses may become increasingly susceptible to infection again, but may not show clinical signs of disease. These cases are particularly dangerous as they can spread virus and could initiate outbreaks of disease.
The requirements for EI vaccination will be reviewed annually by the FEI Veterinary Committee and can be altered if the vaccination or disease situation changes. 
Horses competing regularly require twice yearly influenza vaccination boosters.
Rule
From 1 January 2005 onwards, influenza vaccination for all horses competing in FEI competitions requires a vaccination within six months + 21 days of the competition.
1. All horses intending to participate in FEI competition must have at least received an initial primary course of two vaccinations, given between 21 and 92 days apart. Thereafter, a third dose (referred to as the first booster) must be given within 6 months +21 days after the date of administration of the second primary dose, with at least annual boosters given subsequently (i.e. within one year of the last dose).
2. If the horse is scheduled to take part in an FEI competition, the last booster must have been given within 6 calendar months + 21 days of arrival at the FEI event. (The 21-day window has been provided to enable vaccination requirements to fit in with the competition schedule).
3. No vaccination shall be given within 7 days of the day of arrival at the FEI event.
4. All horses that were certified as correctly vaccinated under the previous FEI equine influenza vaccination rule prior to 1st January 2005, do not need to start a primary course again provided that they have complied with the previous rule of primary course and annual re-vaccinations and the new rule of a booster vaccination within 6 calendar months + 21 days of arrival at the FEI event.
Vaccines, Administration and Certification
• All proprietary equine influenza vaccines are acceptable to the FEI irrespective of the route of administration.
• All vaccines must be administered by a Veterinarian.
• The vaccination should be administered according to the manufacturer’s instructions (i.e. intramuscular injection or intranasal).
• The details of the vaccine, serial/batch number, the date and route of administration must be recorded in the FEI passport.
• Where vaccination details are to be entered into new FEI passports/recognition cards or duplicates, if the vaccination history of the horse is very long, the Veterinarian who completes the descriptive page of the passport/recognition card may use a specific statement to certify that the vaccinations have been administered in accordance with FEI regulations (for the extract of the wording see Veterinary Regulations, Annex XIII.I.11).
Sanctions
As from 1 January 2006 a system of fines is being imposed by the Appeal Committee/Ground Jury for failure to comply with 6-month booster vaccination prior to event arrival.

• Less than one week after the 3-week vaccination window: CHF 200

• Less than two weeks after the 3-week vaccination window: CHF 300

• Less than four weeks after the 3-week vaccination window: CHF 400

• More than four weeks after the 3-week vaccination window: CHF 500, and cancellation of the horse’s participation in the event.

• If there is no evidence of any current vaccination in passport: or if the period at any stage is more than 12 months a maximum penalty of CHF 500 can be imposed. The horse should not be allowed to compete.  It must be put in isolation and sent away from the event as soon as possible.

• Provided the current passport contains a statement that the vaccination history of the horse has been checked and found to be correct (for exact wording see VR, Annex XII.1.11), the lack of information available on the primary vaccination course need not lead to a penalty, and a repeat primary course is not required.

• For horses starting vaccinations after 1st January 2005, when the first booster has not been given (6 months +/- 21 days after the second injection of the primary course), the horse should receive a new primary course followed by a booster vaccination 6 months (+/- 21 days) later.  A warning should be written down in the passport.  The horse may compete providing that it complies with the rules in every other way.

• Any infringements of vaccination dates should be noted on the vaccination page in the passport so that it is not reported again at a future event.  Please write in CAPITAL letters; remember that others will be dependent on the information that you have written in the passport. If possible, add a copy of the vaccination page with the infringement to your Vet Report to the FEI.

Sampling for Prohibited Substances (Vet. Regs. Chapter V & VI and Annex III)
Regular sampling is carried out in CCI***/****, CSIs (Category A), CIOs, World Cup Qualifiers and Finals, Championships and Games, whereas at other CIs sampling is recommended. In CICs***/****, the number of horses tested is at the discretion of the Testing Veterinarian/Veterinary Delegate; however, a minimum of three is recommended (Vet. Regs. Art.. 1016)
Special guidelines are applicable for events covered by the FEI Medication Control Program (Groups I & II only).
Medication Control Program (GROUP I & II ONLY)
The Organizing Committees of FEI events within Groups I & II are advised to charge competitors the equivalent of CHF 12.50 per horse per event as a contribution towards the costs of the MCP program.
Health Requirements for the Entry of Equines into the state of the event All horses entering the grounds must have a Coggins current within 12 months of the close of the horse’s departure.
Customs Formalities for Equines
It is the responsibility of the owner and the party shipping the horse to follow all requirements of the US Customs Service.  The OC takes no responsibility for this matter.
USA VISA Requirements
Contact the US State Department for current requirements.
Insurances
All owners and competitors are personally responsible for damages to third parties caused by themselves, their employees, their agents or their horses. They are therefore strongly advised to take out third-party insurance providing full coverage for participation in equestrian events at home and abroad, and to keep the policy up to date.   The Organizing Committee, Landowners, Staff of the event, veterinarians, volunteers, and all other personnel will not be held liable for accidents, injury, theft, or death prior, during, or after this event.
It is the responsibility of the competitor to be familiar with these rules and regulations.
