ANNUAL REPORT 2006

FOREWORD BY THE FEI PRESIDENT

There is a saying in my part of the world, that those who do not pay tribute to the past shall have no future. The FEI has an illustrious past, steeped in history. In fact, we are a proud organisation whose past is the very history of sport itself. According to historical records, the first ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 BC.; they were Games that celebrated horsemanship, a tradition which has carried on to the present day.

of countries in modern horsesport is always going to be an advantage. But an event of the size of a World Equestrian Games only becomes extraordinary through the atmosphere in which the event is held. The combination of a knowledgeable community and top class competition created an atmosphere that was magical.

The IOC President, Dr Jacques Rogge, came to Aachen and we have continued to have regular communications since then. I Our recent past is no less proud, for we are now evolving from know that the development of this relationship can only serve an organisation that holds the history of sport in its hand, to to further strengthen the position of Eventing, Dressage and an organisation that also embraces the future. We are able to Jumping at the heart of the Olympic Family. take this step into the future because of the wise leadership of those who have guided the FEI to where it is now. The IOC is constantly striving to see its member IFs embracing universality. Through another legacy of Doña Pilar, the FEI is As HRH The Infanta Doña Pilar de Borbón took her leave of already laying the foundation of a truly global sport. In 2010 we the FEI at the General Assembly in Kuala Lumpur, she must all look forward to the first FEI World Equestrian Games outside have been very proud. Under the guidance of Doña Pilar, the mainland Europe and I am delighted that this setting will be at number of international competitions more than trebled and the very heart of horse country in North America, Kentucky. my ability to lead the organisation forward into a new era of growth is entirely down to the fact that the presidential legacy The year 2006 was a momentous year for both the FEI and for from that era reflects a modern sport on a stable platform. me personally. Being the first elected President of the FEI was an honour beyond words. When Doña Pilar left the Presidency she left us an astonishing gift, a gift that horsesport did not see the enormity of for Bringing the Manifesto, your Manifesto, containing your three months. It was, of course, the FEI World Equestrian wishes, to life and turning a policy framework into action has Games, Aachen - an event of such breathtaking sporting taken time in the discussion phase. More time than I would perfection that it was, without doubt, the jewel in the crown have liked, but I appreciate that, as a modern organisation, of horsesport in 2006. inclusive conversation is important. I am delighted that the Manifesto is now woven into the fabric of the FEI not least Only history can judge its long term effect but my instant through the FEI Business Plan which will go to the 2007 feeling, which has not changed since, was that we will view General Assembly for approval. the FEI WEG, Aachen 2006 as the benchmark of event organisation for many decades to come.

both our internal and external audiences. I hope it will define the character of the FEI, as the governing body of a sport as old as time, but whose function is cutting edge and a leader in modernity among the family of IFs. Having achieved my target of raising CHF 10 million for the FEI and following my Manifesto request that 20% of any revenue raised by me personally goes towards Development, this pillar of the manifesto has made a seismic move forward. The Development Strategy based on the quantitative analysis of the situation in developing NFs, carried out by the Development Department, will become a major artery in the body of the FEI. While the Developing NFs have seen this as a step forward for them, the General Assembly indicated its wish that the distribution of funds be dictated by a concrete business and financial plan. This plan has been laid down for us with the help of friends from the FEI as well as a community of business people who will ensure that we are advised correctly, and wisely. The FEI has not paid for this guidance, and the money will be spent so that it makes a true change to both our present and our future.

Their voices and faces in the decision – making process are vital for the welfare of our organisation, and will ensure that we always have our fingers on the pulse of all our disciplines, I pledged to myself, to the Bureau and to a wider audience at and that they remain the heartbeat of the organisation. the FEI World Equestrian Games, that I would produce a mid- Without our athletes, and without properly respecting our term report so that you could see the progress made against sports, there is no FEI. the Manifesto and the targets that we set ourselves and this we did in November.

Improving this communication is nothing to be proud of, it was lacking and so it cannot be seen as advancement. The I am particularly pleased with one component of the revised advancement, however, is that the Global IT Network is now Statutes, and that is that we will now have a truly visible and starting to come alive, and promises not only to provide this audible Athletes Commission.

The efforts of the Commercial Department have reaped positive dividends already, celebrated by the announcements of our commercial partnerships with both Alltech and Rolex. Yet this is only the beginning, many more changes must be made to the Commercial Department in order for it to function to the maximum, and in order for us to turn the tide on an IF that exists mainly from taxation of its own product.

months in office, I don’t feel like I have done enough. I am very aware that I endeavoured to engender a good team spirit at Headquarters. I have striven to maintain the balance between empowering the FEI Staff, while endeavouring to check their over enthusiasm, and by guaranteeing the balance that must exist between them and the Executive Powers of Bureau and Board that represent the National Federations. While Headquarters has been given increased responsibility, there is no doubt responsibility must walk hand-in-hand with accountability. As an elected President I feel that my role is to ensure that accountability. I will never be the one to take the pressure off and allow the organisation to feel that it is doing too well. We do have more energy, new ideas and a more agile administration. We have a great team. My job is to be realistic and to look at the FEI and the sport with unbiased eyes. As I look out across horsesport at the end of 2006, I see that we have not made a lasting difference yet, we have a very long way to go, but whether we will get there or not, is not a question any more. It is a fact that we will get there. I should like to thank all those, particularly the FEI Bureau and the FEI team in Lausanne, whose advice has always been valuable or who have in so many other ways supported me through this first year as FEI President.

I have made no secret of my passion for horsesport and although there have been many times during 2006 when I have been frustrated by the speed of progress, possibly because of To facilitate this end and in support of both the NFs and politics or bureaucracy, this past year has ingrained in me an the Commercial Department, I created a team, from Dubai even deeper commitment to the concept of enshrining the FEI Investment Group (DIG) and the Boston Consultant Group at the heart of horsesport.

As I have said before, the FEI is not taxed to pay for this Constructive criticism will only serve to make me work harder, help, and I believe very strongly that the composition of this and spur the organisation to greater success through the team will not produce an agency template, what it will do is inspiration that is often derived from necessity. I am eternally create a true, individual recipe for a solid investment plan. grateful, for all the friends that I have in the sport all around This Presidential Advisory Team is tasked with unlocking the world and particularly in the National Federations, who the hidden potential of horsesport, in order to increase our have given me good counsel. I look forward to hearing more revenue streams and thereby support the common goals of from you in the year to come, for, as I said to the General Assembly, in Kuala Lumpur in 2006, “This is your FEI.” the NFs and the FEI. I promised, in 2006, to increase the efficiency and timescale of anti-doping and judicial decisions by decreasing the existing average of 2.5 months from testing to judgement to 1.5 months, within two years. Progress has been made during the course of 2006 in the judicial processes but there is still much work to be done. On 1 June the new Equine Anti-Doping and Medication Control Rules (EADMC) came into force and have been well received at all levels. The continued development of The Medicine Box is also an invaluable tool inproviding technical information to both treating veterinarians and athletes. Despite these advancements, we are not there yet, and there have been glitches found in the system, which the Judicial Committee and our Legal Counsel are working hard to rectify.

Several very significant sponsorship agreements were signed this year, the most important being with the Swiss watchmaker Rolex for the title sponsorship of the FEI World Cup™ Jumping, Western European League, and with the global animal health company Alltech for the title sponsorship of the FEI World Equestrian Games 2010. We have started and will further focus Michael Stone on the centralisation of rights in order to achieve a truly winwin situation: positive for the riders, organisers and the FEI and as such, commercially viable for current and future sponsors.

This new income will be reinvested in the sport in the form of additional prize money and especially in the various development programmes the FEI is running worldwide.

REPORT BY THE FEI SECRETARY GENERAL 2006 was a momentous year for the FEI. On 1 May 2006, HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein was elected the 13th FEI President. This election, which was won on the basis of a detailed Manifesto, has invigorated the FEI and is a patent step forward in the modernisation of equestrian sport and the organisation.

was to be found. Much had been discussed before the Games about the two individual medals in that discipline – one for the Grand Prix and one for the Freestyle – and admittedly not everyone was pleased with the two-medal formula. The fact that two World Champions were crowned may be seen as problematic by some but Anky Van Grunsven and Isabell Werth are both heroes. Dressage had two great days, the spectators got to witness two medal competitions as did the TV audience. We must not be frightened to innovate and question what we have and what was done in the past; the reaction of the fans was very vivid and cannot be ignored.

SPORT DEVELOPMENT

An Eventing rider from Swaziland spent three months training at the Ecole Nationale d’Equitation in Saumur (FRA) with the financial assistance of the Justice for Athletes Foundation. This scholarship enabled him to make a serious step forward in his attempt to qualify for three-star level. 2006 was an exceptionally busy year with a continued FEI modernization process, election of a new President and the FEI World Equestrian Games in Aachen, among many other events. This heightened activity brought about additional work and, as a result, we failed to achieve some of our objectives. Another factor was the rhythm at which National Federations develop according to changing political and economical situation, culture, etc. In 2006, we saw huge progress in Central and South America – Groups IV (Caribbean), V (Central America, Northern part of South America), VI (Southern Part of South America) – as well as in Groups VII (Northern Africa & the Middle East) and IX (SubSaharan Africa). Many individual initiatives were successful in the other Groups: NFs in Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Armenia, Georgia with the Caucasus region. It is now a primary task for the FEI Development Department to help NFs improve their sports structure by the establishment and implementation of the FEI Development Programme according to regional needs and resources.

FEI DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY GROUP The FEI Development Advisory Group, composed of Gerry Mullins (IRL), Jean-Philippe Camboulives (FRA) and Peter Strijbosch (NED), met in March 2006 in the presence of the then-FEI First Vice-President, Freddy Serpieri. The following objectives were presented for 2006: 1) situation analysis and long-term development strategy; 2) consolidation of structure for Coach Education System; 3) courses for Coaches; 4) newsletter / TV magazine. Harald Muller, Senior Manager for Education at IAAF, made a presentation on why a development programme is neccessary; how to set up a development programme; development strategy; implementation and its problems; example of coaches education; budgeting and staff requirements for running such programmes.

While the Chairman of Group I, Dr Cesare Croce (ITA), made a visit to the Albanian NF in view of its affiliation to the FEI, Tutor Susanne Macken put to good use her attendance of the FEI World Jumping Challenge and clinics in India to visit Cambodia which has applied to become an FEI member.

FEI World Dressage Challenge Once again, the FEI World Dressage Challenge was a great success. Though the number of participants slightly decreased compared to last year’s competition, the Challenge is still considered one of the most important events in some of the countries involved.

OTHERS

Unfortunately, the NFs of Kazakhstan, Philippines, Slovenia and Chile had to withdraw from the competition. A week before the Challenge was scheduled in Chile, several clubs were hit by an outbreak of Equine Influenza and therefore unable to organize the event.

Vaulting Judges from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico attended the Vaulting Seminar in Bad Boll (GER) with the assistance of the FEI Development Fund. In Swaziland, Vaulting was part of the programme of the third FEI Africa Cup Jumping competition. The former IPEC (International Paralympic Equestrian Committee) development programme was taken over by the FEI Development Department which will continue to administrate the programme financed by the Christopher Reeves Foundation and which consists in conducting clinics for riders and coaches in selected countries.

It was a great pleasure for us to count the NF of Croatia as a new member of the FEI World Dressage Challenge family.

Our Judges were very enthusiastic to see the progress of some of the riders and noticed great improvement concerning the organization of the competition in some countries. The FEI World Dressage Challenge is indeed a team effort, since its success is entirely due to the hard work of our Judges, the NFs The data base for coaches has been created according to plan and the participants. However, further efforts to make the and the data of all coaches are monitored. competition more attractive for riders, sponsors and media are necessary. It has been frequently reported that children find it difficult to move from the Children’s class to Novice COMPETITIONS level. This will be taken into consideration and a review of the FEI World Jumping Challenge tests will be done in 2007. The new design of the FEI World Jumping Challenge Category B including trot phases with trotting poles and cross poles has Others been a source of discussion and disagreement in some places. The third FEI Jumping Africa Cup was organised in Swaziland However, it was well received, generally speaking, once the in April with participants from Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, philosophy behind it, which is to ask riders to improve safety, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Swaziland; it was partly control and the basic Jumping technique that is necessary to supported by the FEI Development Department. This year progress at higher levels, was well understood. Vaulting was added to the programme. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2003 2004 2005 2006

In Eastern Europe, the FEI contributed once again to the organization of the Jumping Caucasus Cup in Tbilisi, Georgia. The FEI contribution was to pay the travel expenses of the Course Designer (Stephan Wirth, GER), the Foreign Judge (Rakhshan Radpour, IRI) and various material (jumping poles, safety cups, etc.).

Chile The purpose of this visit was to help NFs to review their structure and put in place, among others, a Coach Education System, a license system for riders, education system for officials, and develop other disciplines like Vaulting and Pony riding for children. The FEI World Dressage Challenge which was due to take place during the visit had to be cancelled due to an outbreak of Equine Influenza. Instead, the two FEI Judges gave a training course in three different clubs. A visit of the renowned Army Equestrian School in Quilotta was organized as well as attendance at a Jumping qualifier for Young Riders, Juniors, Pre-Juniors and Children in order to qualify a team for the South American and Americas Championships in Argentina. Barbados The NF of Barbados organized the Meeting of Group IV on 1 December under the chairmanship of Kate Jackson. Simon Brooks-Ward, Chairman of the FEI Strategic Planning Committee, also attended. The following subjects were discussed: FEI modernization; development strategy; situation analysis in developing NFs; Caribbean Jumping and Dressage competitions; FEI World Jumping Challenge Category B; construction of a riding centre in Trinidad; veterinary issues and transportation of horses; relationship with NOCs and footing of arenas and up-grading of facilities. Guatemala & Mexico In Guatemala, a development meeting gathering representatives from Argentina, Mexico, El Salvador and Uruguay and the FEI Development Manager took place in the framework of CCI 1 and 2*. The meeting focused on preparations for the 2007 Pan American Games. Development Officer José Ortelli summarised his activities and the way forward. The FEI Development Manager presented the FEI Development Strategy adopted by the Bureau. The same scenario was repeated in Mexico with, in addition, a Course for Eventing Officials directed by Roger Haller (USA) and Janine Rohr (ARG). The development meeting was followed by a very interested Eventing community and the creation of an Eventing Challenge for lower-level competitions was supported with enthusiasm. José Ortelli and Jacqueline Braissant took advantage of their sojourn in Mexico to make a visit to PASO/ODEPA. They discussed with Mr Reynaldo Gonzalez Lopez, General Coordinator, the situation of Eventing in the various Olympic Regional Games and the financing of FEI Courses for Coaches in the framework of the PASO/ODEPA Coaching Programme.

Peru The PER NF organized the Meeting of Group VI. The trip to Peru was combined with a visit of various clubs and a discussion with the NF which was in the process of reviewing its structures.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

Television As far as television was concerned, the Samsung Super League with FEI series led to great brand visibility for the title sponsor. Some figures (Source: IFM Report, 2006): - The total broadcasting time in 2006 was 167:20:30 compared to 131:53:21 in 2005, which represents an increase of 27%. - The total duration of brand visibility was increased by 47% and attained 64:53:27. - The visibility of the Samsung brand in relation to broadcasting time reached 38%, an exceptional result.

FEI COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT IN MANY WAYS 2006 WAS A CONSOLIDATION YEAR FOR THE FEI COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES, WHERE POSITIVE RETURNS IN THE DIFFERENT AREAS BECAME OVERWHELMINGLY APPARENT. ROLEX TO BECOME THE FEI’S PREMIER BRAND

Title sponsorship The partnership with the Swiss watchmaker Rolex, which began in 2005, was extended. The FEI and Rolex signed a three-year contract whereby Rolex became the title sponsor of the FEI World Cup™ Jumping. The partnership includes the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Final™ and the Western European League starting with the 2007/08 season.

FEI Equestrian World sponsored by Rolex was launched in February 2006. This Television Magazine is a monthly halfhour programme produced by FEI Television and distributed by IMG Media. This distribution includes major television broadcasters such as: BBC World, CNBC Europe, CNBC Asia, ESPN International, ESPN Star Sports, ESPN Classic Sports, Supersport, Fox Sports, Sport Italia, ART, Canal + Spain and Sky. With BBC World alone reaching 270 million households, the FEI Equestrian World TV Magazine is without a doubt finding its place on the international scene.

EQUESTRIAN WORLD

1. Insert – 20.9%

ALLTECH

In June 2006, Alltech became the first-ever title sponsor of the FEI World Equestrian Games. This historic title sponsorship gave the company naming rights to the 2010 Games, now officially called the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2010.

The programmes focus to a great extent on the spirit of horsesport and the lifestyle in which its protagonists evolve. This could very well mean remarkable personalities from within the sport to the FEI’s efforts in key areas such as sports development; the Medication Control Unit officiating at events or even the manufacturing secrets from the latest generation of one of the world’s oldest family-run riding boot makers. A valuable quality is the continued coverage of the eight FEI disciplines, including the latest recruits Reining and Para-Equestrian.

Alltech is one of the world’s leading animal health companies and since its inception in 1980, has been committed to providing natural, nutritional solutions to meet the challenges facing the animal feed industry. Through its education programmes, cutting-edge research priorities, dedication to customer service and in-depth knowledge of animal health issues, Alltech has become the world leader in natural animal nutrition.

SAMSUNG SUPER LEAGUE WITH FEI 2006

As a continued pledge of co-operation, Rolex also became the title sponsor of the FEI World Cup™ Final Jumping and The 2006 season was the first year following the renewal of the second contract between Samsung and the FEI. Some Dressage for the 2006/07 season. interesting and valuable figures to bear in mind: Television Media An increase in global volume… In 2006, the global volume of articles monitored increased by 73% compared to 2005. Nevertheless, this very significant result should be put into perspective given the increase in the number of sources monitored, from 78 in 2005 to 294 in 2006. TM

The FEI Commercial Department is proud to state that Three main supports were dominant in the discipline and gave Samsung is very pleased with the returns they get in terms of visibility and sponsoring value for the first season of the excellent returns to the sponsor: second cycle of the three year contract (2006-2008).

2. Board – 26.6%

“Alltech is about passion, performance, and excellence. These qualities are also found in the athletes that participate in the FEI World Equestrian Games. Alltech is the perfect partner for the Games as we are truly a global company, representing many of the same countries that send athletes to compete in this worldwide competition,” said Pearse Lyons, founder of Alltech.

FEI BRANDING FEI’s branding activities continued to significantly improve across all the disciplines. Additional branding elements to promote the FEI World Cup™ Series such as start and finish lines and prize giving devices were introduced to selected shows in cooperation with the related organizers.

…In visibility The identification of the Samsung brand in the series was confirmed both textually and visually, with a very significant

PUBLIC RELATIONS

The FEI Communications Department saw some substantial changes in structure and orientation since the departure of Muriel Faienza in May 2006. We took the opportunity to restructure and refocus the goals of the department, which had been created 10 years ago. Indeed, over the past ten years, the Communications Department had taken on a number of functions which were not communication or PR related. Our goals have been to concentrate on PR activities and the efficient management of the image of the organisation. A new lock-up identity was created, combining the Rolex and the FEI World Cup™ brands. This was needed to identify the title sponsorship of Rolex for the upcoming FEI World Cup™ Finals in Las Vegas and FEI World Cup™ Jumping series for the 2007/08 season.

FEI Series - FEI World Cup™ Jumping, Dressage, Driving & Eventing / Samsung Super League with FEI A dedicated news service is also in place for the FEI World Cup™ series. The news service for the four disciplines is ensured by specialized journalists who produce between ten and twenty press releases for each series. Similarly with the FEI World Equestrian Games press service, the FEI World Cup™ press service are sent out to specific distribution lists: 581 subscribers for Jumping; 445 for Dressage; 270 for Driving; and 385 for Eventing. The press releases for the Samsung Super League with FEI are sent out to 419 subscribers. FEI Championships For the FEI Championships, we provided the organisers with various services, namely forewords by the FEI President; copies of the FEI Annual Report, FEI flags as well as publication of news and photographs from the event. However, we are well aware that this service can still be greatly improved. Interviews of the FEI President Excellent working relations were established between the FEI and the FEI President’s communication staff. Some ten interviews with major international media (South China Morning Post (HKG), Die Welt (GER), Folha de Sao Paolo (BRA), Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (GER), ZDF TV (GER), WDR TV (GER), St Georg (GER), L’Eperon (FRA), Horse International) were coordinated. This level of media attention is unprecedented for the FEI. These interviews have in turn been very beneficial to establishing good relationships with the various media organisations and will be used as a basis to promote future FEI activities. Enquiries from Media/Public Enquiries from the media and general public increased significantly, with an average of five every day.

Notes to the financial statements 1. These financial statements are subject to approval by the FEI General Assembly. 2. FEI receives in the year of the Olympic Summer Games a Contribution from the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It is considered that these proceeds, which are only received once every four years, represent a core financing of FEI both for the year of the Games and the succeeding three years. The contribution is allocated initially to the IOC Contribution Fund. In the year of the Games, a unique amount is first credited to revenues from the Fund equal to the net costs incurred by FEI for its participation at the Games. The balance is credited to revenues in four equal annual amounts commencing in the year of the Games. Any contributions received after the initial contribution are added to the balance of the Fund and also credited to revenue over the remaining years of the quadrenium. 3. Designated funds represent funds which require internal approval for their use. 4. Operating funds are those funds of the FEI that have not been designated for any particular purpose and that are freely available for the use of FEI. 5. The financial statements are audited by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Lausanne, Switzerland.
