Endurance, Princess Haya and para dressage dominate FEI general assembly

This week H&H reports on all the news from the FEI general assembly in Switzerland (4-7 November) — where the decisions governing international horse sport are taken each year.

We have a full report on the hard-hitting plan to clean up abuses in endurance — and why some leading figures think it penalizes the vast majority of amateur riders in this discipline.

There is also news of a dramatic attempt to secure a third term for the FEI’s controversial president Princess Haya — and how Team GBR saw off attempts to reduce its dominance in para dressage.

Don’t miss the new issue of H&H — on sale today, Thursday, 14 November.
