In an unexpected U-turn the FEI decided to withdraw the potential re-wording of the definition ‘horse’ that was proposed by a European body. Although no formal statement was issued by the FEI, I spoke with Director of Communication who showed her full support to the equine community and wished every mule combination and partnership the very best of luck. A huge thank you for all of the support and signatures and I wish you all the health and happiness for the 2020 season. Christie McLean.
