Hong Kong.- The F\u00e9d\u00e9ration \u00c9questre Internationale (FEI) has concluded its 2025 General Assembly in Hong Kong. Some 267 delegates from 73 national equestrian federations and 13 stakeholder groups attended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event saw the announcement of the Digital Horse Passport. Scheduled for phased implementation beginning in 2026, the system is set to “revolutionise horse management by enhancing efficiency, strengthening biosecurity standards, and facilitating seamless cross-border movement.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed through a collaboration between the FEI and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), it will consolidate data such as horse identification, health records, vaccination history, travel documents, and microchip scans into a single, integrated platform. This new tool aims to provide horse owners, athletes, veterinarians, and competition officials with a more effective and streamlined approach to horse management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FEI veterinary director G\u00f6ran Akerstr\u00f6m described it as “a significant milestone for equestrian sport, not only improving logistical management and biosecurity but also further safeguarding the integrity and welfare of horses.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Assembly culminated on the evening of November 7 with the FEI Awards Gala. The event takes place in a different location each year, and this year marked its return to Hong Kong after 27 years, with support from The Hong Kong Jockey Club<\/a> in partnership with the Equestrian Federation of Hong Kong, China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe FEI General Assembly 2025 has not only reinforced Hong Kong\u2019s role as a leading hub for equestrian sport in Asia but has also provided a unique platform for fostering international collaboration. This landmark event further highlights Hong Kong\u2019s vital contribution to shaping the future of equestrian sport on the global stage,\u201d concluded the Hong Kong Jockey Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
