As before, FEHL is made up of its three
distinctive phases:
Ridden Display
of Basic Flatwork (RD)
Jumping (J)
Suitability
& Potential (S&P)
This Schedule contains a number of
important additions and changes:
FEHL continues
to be a League for 4-year old and 5-year old horses. We are
the Kindergarten for potential international event horses and
an important link in the long chain from the breaking of a horse
to its appearance in a four-star CCI.
Horses aged
6 and upwards continue to catered for by way of a Speed Derby
Our Training
Programme has been greatly expanded (see below) by the introduction
of two eight-week series of Clinics, concentrating on Basic
Flatwork
The void on
the map in the south-east of the Republic has been covered by
the very welcome addition of our eighth Qualifier, at Forth
Mountain Stud in Barntown, Co. Wexford
The criteria
for horses eligible for participation in FEHL (see below) have
been extended
The rules for
qualification to the FEHL Final (see below), while not being
made more difficult, have been tightened in the interest of
versatility and consistency of performance
A joint initiative
with the Royal Dublin Society (see below) has been introduced,
offering our competitors an opportunity to compete in a new
Young Event Horse Class at the Dublin Horse Show in August
