Re: [RC] Regarding the Mongol Derby - Barbara Mc - Beverley H. Kane, MDBarbara et al, Everyone with an opinion is "in on this." I gather from the letter below that the FEI does "not support" the Derby while the UAE intends to support it (or at least the horses) by providing "elite level Veterinary Support."

I didn't realize they had any connection at all to the Derby. Would someone enlighten me? Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beverley H.

I confirm that the FEI's position remains unchanged and the FEI does not 'support the event' but is supportive of any actions that might be taken to support the welfare of those horses that may be involved with this particular event. The FEI's position is as follows: The FEI confirms that we have held a meeting with the organising company of the Mongol Derby to obtain specific detailed information, at the request of the UAE, with regard to the horses being used and the equine support being provided for the event from within Mongolia. That information has now been passed to the UAE who have expressed the wish to provide elite level Veterinary Support, both in terms of equipment and experienced personnel, to the organisers through the Mongolian Government both pre, during and post event. As confirmed already by the FEI , the Mongol Derby is not an FEI recognised event and does not come under the remit or control of the FEI as the Governing body for International Equestrian sport. The FEI continues to work with organisations towards achieving the highest welfare support for all horses.'
