Russia, together with Belarus, has started a war of aggression against Ukraine. This is a violation of the order of the United Nations. The war of aggression brings the world to the edge of nuclear war. It causes suffering for people and animals* in the affected areas.

Furthermore, it causes hunger crises that affect people and animals far beyond these areas. The vast majority of the members of the United Nations have condemned the war and its initiators. FEI and IOC \u2013 as well as many other global sports federations \u2013 have banned Russia and Belarus. The FEI recognises the ITPF as the global governing body for the equestrian sport of tent pegging. The ITPF wants to integrate tent pegging into the Olympic canon. The ETPA is a member of the ITPF. Russia and Belarus are members of the ITPF and thus automatically members of the ETPA too, even though they have not been active here.

In the face of the war of aggression, the board of the ETPA has decided to suspend Russia\u2019s and Belarus\u2019s automatic membership for the time that peace is violated. The ETPA does this with a heavy heart since we love our friends, the Russian and Belarussian athletes like all other tent peggers. However, they represent states whose acts of war the ETPA objects to.

\n\t\t\t\t* footnote: We are a sport which could not exist without the horse. At present, there are around 100,000 horses in the Ukraine who have been caught up in the invasion. The food and bedding supply chain has stopped. Some owners have been forced to set their horses free in forests to fend for themselves because they must flee their homes and have no alternative option. European equestrian national governing bodies have been fundraising to send food and bedding as part of the humanitarian convoys to the Polish border. The invasion has significantly impacted the equestrian community of the Ukraine. As horse-lovers, we owe it to them to stand alongside in support.<\/small><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
