he British Equestrian Federation has come out in support of several radical new concepts to keep the sport viable as part of the Olympic Games, including renaming eventing to “equestrian triathlon”. A submission in response to an FEI proposal concerning the future of Eventing at the Olympic Games based on Olympic Agenda 2020 recommendations was made by the BEF on behalf of British Eventing. BE pulled together a wide range of eventing experts, including competition organisers, riders and owners, to form a working group and lead discussion from a British standpoint. The group addressed proposed changes relating to format and presentation of the three phases of the eventing competition. Eventing riders involved in the consultation group, which met twice in 2015, included Daisy Berkeley, Tina Cook, William Fox-Pitt, and Bruce Haskell.
