PERFORMANCE CLASSES
RIDING STAGES
The new riding stage system offers every athlete a suitable offer. Sport associations and Clubs companies can offer tailor-made courses to their members. Brandnew is the fact that everyone can test his riding skills in small steps. Anyone who has passed a RA (riding stage) is motivated and is guided in smaller steps to higher requirements, in fact to the RA of the next higher level. Proper handling of horses and good horse riding – this is what the ten new riding stages stand for, which accompany your training in equestrian sport. With the RA’s you can further develop and document your riding skills in all age and performance classes. The RA 10 to 6 can be repeated in any order and as often as you like. From the RA 5 the order of the riding stages is given. The “Basispass” (basic stage) or RA 7 and 6 are required to pass the RA 5. At least three months must pass between the test before the next RA can be achieved so that the competitor can prepare for the requirements. Before each RA exam, each rider must attend a preparatory course. The preparatory course must be held by a course leader recognized by the FLSE (seeour published list). The preparation for the RA exam does not have to be done in one entire course. The participant can also complete the Modules Dressage, Jumping and Theory seperately but must proof the preparation by the different course instructors.
FEI
To participate in international tournaments, your competition horse needs an international horse passport of the International Equestrian Federation (FEI). Exceptions are regulated in the respective schedule of the tournament. FEI registrations will only be made if your national annual tournament license is renewed and the national horse validation has been properly paid for the current year.
The Fei Pass is also valid at national tournaments. The national equine passport can easily be converted into an international FEI passport. Important and necessary for this is the correct drawing of the horses outline diagram in the passport and that the horse has been microchiped.
Before you start an international tournament, please consider an prior visit to the FLSE. Here the national equine passports are converted as quickly as possible into a FEI passport. The FEI passes are valid for 4 years and can be renewed at any time at the federation in charge.
In addition to the FEI pass, the rider and horse also need an FEI registration. With this registration, the ridedr admits the regulations of the FEI. The registration must be renewed annually. To check if your registration for the current year is valid, you can use the following link:
search.fei.org.
Rider: Go to PERSON and enter either your FEI number or your last name.
Horse: Go here HORSE and enter either the FEI passport number or the horse’s name.
If the green tick is to the left of the name, the registration is ok.
However, if the orange exclamation point appears, there is NO registration for the current year.
To start at an international tournament, you must first fill out the form at the FLSE webpage using the “ENTRY FEI COMPETITIONS” (found under the FORMS on www.flse.lu). The starting permit for the requested tournament will then be given by the responsible commission and the responsible national coach. If this has been granted, the FLSE will register the riders and horses on the requested competition.
By handing in the entry form, the rider accepts the conditions stipulated in the invitation and accepts to pay the nominal and stable fees, even if the cancellation is justified, if the organizer requests so.
Each rider is responsible for transport formalities and this in time.
The current veterinary and medication regulations can be found at www.feicleansport.org and www.nada-bonn.de.
If a named rider can not start, a cancellation must be made immediately. For short-term cancellations, a veterinary / medical certificate may be required from the organizer. If the athlete is not deregistered, severe sanctions are also threatened by the FEI.
Each rider is himself responsible for reservationof his accomodation.
