The FEI is the world governing body for equestrian sports, overseeing all international Olympic and non-Olympic competitions across eight disciplines. Founded in 1921, it coordinates more than 4,000 events annually and maintains a registry of about 120,000 horses and riders. The organization is headquartered in Lausanne, in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland, and its activities encompass major championships and series such as the FEI World Equestrian Games and the FEI World Cup/Nations Cup. Its scope includes athletes, organizers, sponsors, and fans, providing governance and event platforms that connect horses and riders with a global audience. The FEI's partnership program offers sponsors opportunities for onsite visibility, broadcast and digital activation, content production opportunities, and corporate hospitality, supported by a large equestrian fan base with about 75% female. In January 2026, the FEI announced a merger of its Eventing and Driving departments and appointed Molly Day as Director of the newly created combined department.
