As of this week, 9-15 August 2021, the Horse Health FEI Self-Certification form for all horses attending a FEI event in mainland Europe must be submitted via the FEI HorseApp. Paper copies will no longer be accepted, the FEI has annunced.
In accordance with the FEI's EHV-1 By-Laws no.10, riders and grooms must provide a signed Horse Health FEI Self-Certification form for all horses attending an FEI event in mainland Europe, including mandatory temperature monitoring for the 10 days leading up to their arrival at the event. An updated version of the FEI HorseApp will now allow riders, grooms, owners and managers to easily submit the required information via the app.
The FEI's EHV-1 By-Laws, which have been in place since 31 May 2021, protect FEI horses and global equestrian sports from the transmission of infectious diseases before, during and after FEI events.
