Since time immemorial, horses have been considered a noble animal in every aspect. They represented a form of travel from one place to another, the transport of people and various goods, but they were also used for general entertainment. There is no man who has not seen a horse in his life, but that is why a large number of people have not had the opportunity to experience the charm of real riding, as well as to witness magnificent horse races. Indeed, horses are still expensive to procure even today, especially if the horse is in demand for some more serious purposes.

 

Having a horse is in a way a gift, a gift that should be valued, cared for and nurtured in the way that a person would want to be treated. Having a horse can also be a nice way to earn money, if used properly, which will be very possible in the very near future, that is, with this edict coming directly from the Mayor's Office. This way, after the entry into force of this edict, the International Equestrian Federation (FIE) will officially exist, hoping to attract all lovers of horses and extraordinary races from anywhere in the world. From windy and hot deserts to the cold forests of the tundra, people will have the opportunity to either attend races that will leave only the best impression, or to participate in them and celebrate through various cities and nations, which is very possible with work and effort.

 

With this edict, FIE sets the following terms:

 

• Current president of FIE is Volmar Barclay,

• FIE will be tasked with aiding the nations with building of the racing tracks on their territories, be it either with materials of funds,

• The seat of FIE is set to be in the Principality of Savoy, San Luciano, from where this edict is both written and officially approved,

• The races are organized exclusively by FIE, just as the racetracks are made exclusively according to FIE standards,

• The number of equestrians from one nation is unlimited, but the number of teams from one nation is limited to two..

 

In order for this edict not to be full of information that in some way does not concern the purpose of the edict itself, an Official FIE Document is announced to be published soon, which will contain all important information about the FIE, both about the federation itself and other important aspects of it. After the document is published, equestrian teams and equestrians will be able to participate in the official races and compete against other teams and equestrians.

 

*This organization is not yet completed regarding the structure itself, which will be done with the official FIE document.
