Equestrian sports federations are organizations that govern and promote horse riding and related activities. They establish rules, organize competitions, and support the development of riders and horses. These federations often work at national and international levels, ensuring that events are conducted fairly and safely. One of the most prominent equestrian sports federations is the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI), which oversees international competitions like the Olympic Games and the World Equestrian Games. These federations also provide resources for training, education, and the welfare of horses, helping to grow the sport globally.
