FEI UPDATE - International Para Competitions

After receiving confirmation direct from the FEI, British Showjumping can confirm that FEI licenses are NOT required for any Para Showjumping competitions overseas or in the UK. This is due to the fact that Para Showjumping is not currently identified by the FEI as an equestrian discipline.

However, all Para Equestrian competitors competing in Para jumping competitions overseas DO need authorisation from their National Governing Body - British Showjumping. Therefore you need to be a current British Showjumping member and have provided us with evidence of your classification. We will then authorise you to compete overseas in Para jumping competitions.
