Ingmar De Vos
President,
Federation Equestre Internationale
Strict parity between men and women is at the heart of equestrian sport where male and female athletes compete as equals at all levels. The FEI is proud to champion the many women competitors, officials, trainers, veterinarians, grooms, administrators, and staff who are a vital part of our diverse multicultural community. Their talent, resourcefulness, and hard work contribute immensely to its constant growth and deserve our full support.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
In 2025, we started an evalutation of the Governance of our National Equestrian Federations and one of important evaluation criteria is the Gender Equality in the respective Bodies of the National Federations (board as well as technical committees). This is to identify gaps and to create awareness at the National Federations level.
As a member of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF) Governance Task Force, we are reviewing the fith governance questionnaire and we will put more focus and scoring on International Federation that promote Gender Equality, Diversity & Inclusion.
