The
talents and performance record of the Irish horse are already established
beyond dispute at the highest level in international eventing.
The
Future Event Horse League- FEHL–
now in its ninth year – has the overall objective of further developing
these talents and skills of both Irish horses and riders, through a
series of competitions specifically designed towards education, preparation
and testing in a constructive and progressive manner:
-By
establishing a basic standard of training and a systematic programme
of further education for our horses and riders in the skills required
for success in national and international horse trials.
-By
contributing to our national breeding programme through the introduction
of a specific form of performance testing which will demonstrate to
the breeders in Ireland the modern-day requirements of a potential international
competition horse.
-By
developing a system whereby our future event horses are presented to
potential buyers from home and abroad to the highest standard and in
the most professional manner.
