The three key challenges in equestrian sport

Ethical issues, sustainability and loss of knowledge.

Equestrian sports face significant ethical challenges regarding the welfare of animals. Sustainability is crucial to protect the environment and support future generations. Additionally, there is a risk of knowledge loss that threatens the traditions and techniques of equestrian sports.

tournament - with EQC

Every equestrian event is under critical scrutiny - from riders, spectators and sponsors.

Today, a harmonious and compliant competition is more crucial than ever for the success of a show. This is exactly where our Equine Quality Control (EQC) program comes in.

Professional monitoring of the warm-up area

Neutral documentation according to fixed criteria

More transparency and trust for participants and viewers

The EQC system ensures objective control and supports organizers in ensuring the highest standards - without additional administrative effort. Already successfully implemented as a pilot project at the FEI World Cup Final in Basel, it offers a unique opportunity to make the sport fairer and more attractive.

Are you an event organizer and would like to find out more about EQCs? Request our EQC information folder without obligation.
