Emirates Equestrian and Racing challenges the decision of the International Federation in front of the "Cup"

In an official statement, the Emirates Equestrian and Racing Federation denounced the decision of the International Equestrian Federation, the judge, to suspend all equestrian sport activities in the country, which are supervised by the International Federation (show jumping - dressage - integrated games - ability and endurance) from September 24 until December 31 of this year, and the continued suspension of endurance and endurance sports until March 31, 2021, in addition to imposing heavy financial fines on the organizing committees that had not been imposed previously in the history of the International Federation.

The statement of the Emirates Equestrian and Horse Racing Federation refuted the objection to the decision of "International Equestrian" in 12 points, confirming the appeal against the decision before the International Equestrian Federation court and before the Court of Arbitration for Sport "Cass".

The statement confirmed that the International Federation's claim to include the President's Cup and the Cup of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum as national races to avoid the application of the new ability law 2020 is incorrect, as the program of endurance races was published in the country on its annual date at the beginning of September 2019, that is, before the laws were voted on at the General Assembly meeting in Moscow 2019 and the results of the vote were known, in addition to the fact that most of the important and basic laws that the Emirates Equestrian Federation voted against, their implementation was postponed, according to the decision of the International Federation’s Board of Directors, until July, while Races were held at the beginning of the year.

The statement stressed that measures have been taken from the beginning of the crisis until the issuance of the current statement, with the aim of reaching an amicable solution that supports the rights of both parties and maintains mutual respect between the two organizations.

The statement expressed deep regret at the decision of the International Federation, which was denounced by the organizing committees of the races in the country, the owners, riders, trainers, and all the equestrian family, indicating that the UAE Federation is an effective member of the International Federation, and is committed, like all other members, to the rules of the International Federation, which must be treated fairly.
