The International Equestrian Federation is launching a website to promote its Clean Sport initiatives.<br />
<br />
The initiatives received overwhelming support from member nations, who passed the necessary resolutions to implement them during last November's General Assembly in Copenhagen, Denmark.<br />
<br />
However, they were overshadowed by the adoption of the so-called progressive list of medications, which permitted small amounts of anti-inflammatory drugs in competition horses.<br />
<br />
The storm of controversy over the progressive list, including the amount of time given for inquiry and consultation, resulted in the FEI revisiting the issue.<br />
<br />
The zero-tolerance policy was brought back and the progressive list will now be considered at the next general assembly, late this year.<br />
<br />
The Clean Sport initiatives, the result of two commissions of inquiry and an investment of some €1.8 million, are explained at <a href="http://www.feicleansport.org">http://www.feicleansport.org</a>.<br />
<br />
The website has information about the new regulations, aimed at combatting doping in equestrian sports.<br />
<br />
"We felt it was important to have a dedicated site where people could go to get all the information they needed," FEI secretary general Alex McLin said.<br />
<br />
"We firmly believe this site will raise awareness of our anti-doping efforts and increase overall compliance with the new rules when they come into force on April 5 this year."<br />
<br />
The site is tailored to the needs of athletes, vets, officials, media and others to help them understand the initiatives.<br />
<br />
The site also contains details about the new Equestrian Community Integrity Unit that was a key recommendation of the Joint-Commissions to help monitor corruption, identify offenders and conflicts of interest in equestrian sports, as well as safeguard horse welfare.<br />
<br />
Members of the Equestrian Community Integrity Unit will be present at major FEI events beginning in April.<br />
<br />
The new Clean Sport website will be complemented by the FEI's revamped website, <a href="http://www.fei.org">www.fei.org</a>, due to be launched shortly.

I have been riding for as long as I can remember and love it. I have made some really good friends, made some great riding memories and its something which I will continue to enjoy!<br />
Once you are hooked the riding bug never leaves you.<br />

One of my favorite memories is being very late for a show, being the last to jump, and I won! I then went on to win the next two classes. It was mine and Candy's lucky day!<br />
