Statement from the British Equestrian Federation regarding the 2010 FEI Top Level Nations Cup

Following the FEI’s announcement that both Great Britain and Belgium, as well as Italy, would be relegated from the 2010 FEI Top Level Nations Cup, the British Equestrian Federation (BEF) and British Showjumping did not accept that decision. They have defended Britain’s place in the league via an appeal to the FEI Tribunal.
 
We have today been informed that the Tribunal has declined the Appeal. We are very disappointed by this and need to consider the decision of the FEI Tribunal in detail before deciding our next move. We will also consult our stakeholders prior to making a final decision. The BEF has 30 days in which to confirm whether they will carry on the appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
