FEI Scraps Endurance Events In UAE After Horses Die At Al Reef Cup In Abu Dhabi

The FEI "has reacted to the Al Reef Cup scandal and removed the two remaining international endurance events" due to be held in the UAE from the calendar "following a string of serious issues during races in the region," according to David Kent of the London DAILY MAIL. Three horses "were reported dead at the 74-mile Al Reef Cup in Abu Dhabi on February 1 and one, Splitters Creek Bundy, appeared to have broken both front legs." The FEI said the decision to cancel the March events is "an emergency measure to protect horse welfare and to preserve the integrity of the FEI rules and regulations at FEI events." A spokesperson said, "The move follows a mandate from the FEI bureau to the executive board to urgently investigate horse welfare issues and non-compliance with FEI rules and regulations in the UAE" (DAILY MAIL, 2/26).
