Abuse towards officials
Carl Hester shares his views on judging and why FEI officials must be treated with respect in his exclusive H&H column this week. He says he was “horrified” by the reasons Christian Landolt resigned from FEI officialdom – namely concerns over abuse and bullying. “With the spotlight on horse welfare, and rightly so, an expectation that officials are treated with respect and that their welfare is looked after is totally reasonable; anything else is unacceptable,” says Carl.
