The European Equestrian Federation (EEF) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI).

Founded in 2010, EEF is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. Forty-three of the FEI’s 133 national federations are also members of the EEF, which is focused on maximizing the potential and development of equestrian sport in Europe and globally.

The MOU was signed at the FEI Sports Forum 2015, which was attended by over 270 delegates, many of whom represented the FEI’s 27 national federations based across Europe.

“On behalf of the EEF, I am very excited to take the next step forward in our relationship with the FEI”, said Dr. Hanfried Haring, EEF president. “For us, this is the beginning of a new working environment where a continental federation is joining forces with the FEI and improving the already fruitful cooperation,” Haring said. “The EEF will continue to strive for its mission values now in collaboration with the FEI
