The following items were brought to the attention of the Bureau for information and approval following the FEI Pony Riders Committee held in Amsterdam (NED) on 9-10 November 2007.

1. RESIGNATION OF COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN. Ferdi Wassermeyer (GER) resigned as Chairman for health reasons and has been replaced by Jean Scott Mitchell (IRL) who will be Acting Chair.

2. The Bureau will precede the eatablishment of an FEI YOUTH COMMITTEE.

3. PONY MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE. The 2cm tolerance in place for on-site measuring should be maintained. The definition of a pony (up to 148cm at the withers) remains unchanged. Measuring will take place at the 2008 FEI European Pony Championship and CIOPs. Stakeholders will be reminded that the Ground Jury could still request a pony be measured at any CIP and indeed have a responsibility to do so if they suspected it was over height.

4. JUMPING FORMAT AT FEI EUROPEAN PONY CHAMPIONSHIP. The trial change in the format of the Jumping at the 2007 Championship would be maintained in 2008 with a view to its’ being integrated into the rules in 2009.

The corrections / modifications to the FEI Rules for Pony Riders and Children, 8th edition, were approved (effective 1 January 2008).
