News Summary:
The FEI recently partnered with UK-based Signify Group, a global leader in online abuse prevention, to protect athletes, coaches, officials, and other key stakeholders from online harassment during the FEI World Championships Aachen 2026. Earlier on July 29, the Fédération Équestre Internationale board selected Butheeb International Endurance Village in the United Arab Emirates to host the 2026 FEI Endurance World Championship. This decision followed the board's July 1 withdrawal of the championship from AlUla, Saudi Arabia, due to the region’s geopolitical situation; Butheeb previously hosted the championship in 2022. On July 27, Böckmann and Altair de la Cense were crowned the first Under 25 World Champions at Millstreet's Green Glens Arena, with Great Britain securing Team Gold at the inaugural FEI Eventing World Championship for Under 25s, which completes the global pathway for riders. Also on July 27, the FEI appointed Swiss national Nicole Barraud-Estoppey as its new Director Communications, leveraging her extensive experience in strategic communications, public affairs, crisis management, and corporate reputation across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and Fast-Moving Consumer Goods sectors. This follows the July 14 announcement from US Equestrian regarding the combinations selected to represent U.S. Dressage at the 2026 FEI WBFSH Dressage World Breeding Championship for Young Horses, scheduled for August 4-9, 2026, in Verden, Germany.
