INTERNATIONAL
COMMITTEE

The International Committee is somewhat unique, as it consists of one member only, its chairman. This committee intercedes between the British competitors, the BEF, the FEI and the organisers of international events. Every year there are two FEI World Championships and a Junior World Trophy is held every two years.

The objective is to ensure a British Team (not to be confused with a four-in-hand team) gets to each of these prestigious events.

There is a huge amount of work to get British competitors, not only to these world championships, but also to the qualifying events in Britain and on the continent. Schedules must be obtained, passports checked and competitors’ certificates of capability completed. The competitors must be entered into the events, and for championships all the relevant qualifications need to be obtained. Selection and qualification events must all be carefully chosen to make sure that the best possible available competitors are sent to represent our country. In addition, training is offered to competitors and chefs d'Equipe who will go abroad. Lots to do and very often little time in which to do it.
