FEI dispensation sought after Canterbury quake
February 25, 2011
Comment on the quake
Equestrian Sports New Zealand (ESNZ) intends seeking special dispensation from the FEI for riders who were relying on this Sunday's postponed one-day event in Canterbury to qualify for FEI events this season.
Eventing Canterbury has postponed the one-day-event at McLeans Island in the wake of Tuesday's devastating earthquake centred on Christchurch.
ESNZ said the St Johns Ambulance service is not able to guarantee attendance, and it was not able to guarantee that it would have access to hospital services should they be necessary.
Also, many riders are volunteering in some way to assist in the emergency.
Some are using their trucks to cart water to parts of the city and many are volunteering to assist at shelters and in the rescue and recovery teams.
An alternative date for the event is being explored, and will be notified.
"As a result of the circumstances of this postponement, ESNZ will be approaching the FEI requesting special dispensation for those riders where this event was a critical qualification for FEI events this season," it said.
"If we are successful in achieving the dispensation from the FEI, it will apply only to riders who have met all other qualification requirements and can show they are of the required standard."
