Did you see that my responses are not well formatted under
the ridecamp digest ? They appear just in the middle without any Subject/Title.
Is it because it comes from an .eu account ?

It is a "Certificate of Capability" issued by the FEI to those
riders who have achieved the particular goals outlined in FEI Article 625.xxx
- basically you (and your horse) have to have completed a 160km CEI event in
13:20 (or 12km/hr). For the 2008 WEC, you have to do 2 of them.
The whole concept was discussed at the Paris Forum last April - the
concensus of the endurance community was that the CoC, while a useful
certification of the abilities of the riders, is not correctly formulated now.
Rather than a fixed time/speed, it should be determined relative to the trail
and the competitive field for each event. (i.e. it is not possible
to get a CoC at some rides b/c the trial is to hard to average
12km/hr).
We will see what the FEI proposes when they finally release their
work-group reports sometime next year ....
