A l'attention du Président Mr Maurel
-Vous y serez le 18 janvier ? parce que quand on lit le rapport de la FEI concernant Kittel, on a de quoi s'arracher les cheveux !! On a vraiment l'impression que d'un côté la FEI veut se donner bonne conscience, mais de l'autre côté elle ne sanctionne pas du tout ! qu'est-ce qu'une lettre d'avertissement ? à l'heure qu'il est, Kittel l'a déjà mise à la poubelle. Il n'y a que quand les sponsors cesseront de donner de l'argent à ces jeux de cirque, qu'elle agira.

Patrik Kittel Exonerated by FEI in Blue Tongue Scandal
January 27, 2010
ScandicThe FEI investigation into the training methods used by Patrick Kittel on his horse Scandic in Odense, Denmark on 18 October 2009 has been concluded. Witness statements and video evidence have been thoroughly reviewed and the investigation finds are that there is no reliable evidence that the warm-up techniques used by Mr Kittel were excessive.
As a result, the FEI Legal Department has ruled that no formal claim against Mr Kittel will be submitted to the FEI Tribunal, however Mr Kittel has received a warning letter regarding the appropriate and inappropriate use of warm-up techniques and has been made aware that his actions will be watched very carefully going forward to ensure that there are no subsequent violations of FEI rules relating to horse welfare.
The FEI is conducting a major review and analysis of its current policy on pre-competition warm-up activities, with an emphasis on hyperflexion. A working group has been set up with a specific brief to define the term “prolonged and excessive” in order to provide more precise guidelines for stewards.
This issue relates to the welfare of the horse in general and not just to dressage and will be discussed in detail at a round table, taking place on 9 February, where all stakeholders will be represented.

Bonjour,
Aparté,
Magali CLIQUE écrit, en rappel du sujet fermé sur "la SHN se met au Rollkur" :
"(....et aux détracteurs qui affirment que ça ne sert à rien, allez faire un tour sur le site de la SHN, vous aurez une belle surprise. Merci à ceux qui sont intervenu)".
Comme j'étais intervenu à titre personnel, j'ai envoyé un petit mot de sympathie constatant le changement montrant l'image d'un cheval dont l'intégrité est respectée.
Amicalement.

Dear Madam, dear Sir,
On 9 February 2010, more than 20 experts will attend an FEI meeting in Switzerland to discuss once again whether the so-called hyperflexion (“Rollkur”) is an adequate method of training a horse. In order to support the opponents of this method and offer them further arguments, a petition has been initiated at www.no-rollkur.com. We’d like to invite you to support this action against hyperflexion – time is short!
You were so kind as to sign our own petition calling for reforms of the FN rules, which was initiated in May 2009. This obviously bore fruit: The German FN eventually invited Philippe Karl for a meeting in Warendorf, Germany. They now have to find an appropriate date. We will of course keep you informed about the outcome of this meeting.
Thank you very much again for your support!
Cordially,
Philippe Karl & his team

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
am 9. Februar 2010 treffen sich bei der FEI in der Schweiz über 20 Experten, um erneut darüber zu beraten, inwieweit die Rollkur/Hyperflexion eine angemessene Trainingsmethode ist. Um den Gegnern dieser Methode Argumente an die Hand zu geben, wurde unter www.no-rollkur.com eine Unterschriftenliste ins Leben gerufen. Wir möchten Sie bitten, diese Aktion gegen die Rollkur zu unterstützen – die Zeit drängt!
Sie waren so freundlich, unsere im Mai 2009 gestartete Petition für Reformen des FN-Reglements auf der Seite www.philippe-karl.com zu unterzeichnen. Diese trägt offensichtlich Früchte: Die Deutsche Reiterliche Vereinigung (FN) hat Philippe Karl zu einem Treffen nach Warendorf eingeladen. Nun gilt es, einen passenden Termin zu finden. Über das Ergebnis dieses Treffens werden wir Sie selbstverständlich informieren.
Nochmals herzlichen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Philippe Karl & sein Team

Madame, Monsieur,
Le 9 février, plus de 20 experts se réuniront à la FEI en Suisse pour délibérer de nouveau sur l’« hyperflexion » (ou « Rollkur »), afin de décider si cet encapuchonnement extrême du cheval constitue une méthode d’entraînement adéquate. Pour soutenir les opposants à cette méthode et leur offrir plus d’arguments, une pétition a été créée à la page www.no-rollkur.com. Nous vous invitons à soutenir cette action contre l'hyperflexion/Rollkur – le temps presse !
Vous avez eu l’amabilité de signer notre pétition demandant des réformes du règlement de la FN, initiée en mai 2010. Cette action semble porter ses fruits : la Fédération Equestre Allemande (FN) a invité Philippe Karl à une rencontre à Warendorf en Allemagne. Il s’agit maintenant de fixer la date. Nous vous tiendrons bien sûr au courant des résultats de cette rencontre.
Merci encore pour votre soutien !
Cordialement,
Philippe Karl & son team

Xenophon and Klaus Balkenhol Letter to The FEI for the February 9th Meeting
(Translated from the German)
Originally Dated Feb. 3 2010
Federation Equestre International
Avenue Rumine 37
CH – 1005 Lausanne Rosendahl
SWITZERLAND
February 3, 2010
Dear Sirs and Madames:
We submit herewith some comments concerning your upcoming roundtable discussion, scheduled for February 9th, at which you will be establishing a final plan for the handling of the topic of Rollkur/Hyperflexion.
Those of us who have signed this letter wish to point out sharply that new or amended rules with regard to the accepted classical precepts of riding, which are contained in the guidelines written down in your Handbook, are absolutely superfluous and therefore unnecessary. These precepts, which the FEI has up until now felt obliged to uphold, are already fully developed, tried and tested! They are already recognized world-wide as authoritative, and as fair to the horse. Based on centuries of experience, they offer a stable and secure foundation even for today’s riding.
No changes may be made that constitute a burden to the well-being of the horse, either physically or mentally. If you accept riding in hyperflexion as a permissible training method, you legitimize aggressive riding. We protest that in the strongest possible terms!
As horse people, we expect the FEI to maintain unaltered their regulations, which have until now been valid, resting as they do upon the classical precepts of riding – for the good of the horses and the continued good repute of international equestrian sport.
The undersigned support this statement:
Klaus Balkenhol (Olympic medalist)
