Sabrina Ibáñez Announces Candidacy for President

I am honoured to share that I have formally submitted my candidacy for the Presidency of the FEI. This is a deeply meaningful step for me, one taken with humility, gratitude and a strong sense of responsibility towards the people, horses and communities that make our sport so special.
As I expressed following the FEI General Assembly in Hong Kong last year, I believe this process must be approached with openness, transparency and respect for all National Federations. These principles will continue to guide me throughout the period ahead. My sincerest thanks to all those who contribute every day to the development, integrity and success of equestrian sport around the world!

Kindest Regards,

Jack Huang Announces Candidacy for President of the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI)

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I am writing to inform you that I have officially submitted my Candidate Application for the position of President of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI).

My involvement in equestrian sport has been shaped over many years through service at both national and international levels, including my work with the FEI as Vice President and Chair Regional Group VIII, and the wider equestrian community. I’m also a show jumping rider and an accomplished entrepreneur. As someone who has been closely connected to the sport for many years, I have a deep respect for the FEI’s role in supporting equestrian sport around the world.

It is with that respect, and in accordance with the FEI Statutes and Election Regulations, that I now make this announcement of my intention to stand for election. At this stage, I wish only to state that intention and to proceed through the formal application process as required.

I am grateful for the encouragement and goodwill I have received from colleagues and friends across the equestrian community. I look forward to the FEI’s official announcement of candidates in due course.

Sincerely,

Jack
