FEI launches safeguarding course with #WeRideTogether
Free online training aims to prevent misconduct in equestrian sport
April 3, 2025 at 10:18 AMBy s.wilhelm
The FEI has partnered with non-profit organisation #WeRideTogether to launch a new online safeguarding course, now available for free on FEI Campus. The training is designed for everyone involved in equestrian sport—athletes, coaches, parents, officials, grooms, administrators, and volunteers—and promotes awareness, prevention, and intervention around misconduct and abuse.
The 90-minute course includes educational videos, quizzes, and resources to help participants recognise inappropriate behaviour, understand how misconduct occurs, and learn how to respond safely and effectively. Though currently offered in English, additional language versions are planned for release throughout 2025.
The course features content developed by #WeRideTogether, including its award-winning PSAs and survivor stories. It aims to build a culture of respect, accountability, and safety across the global equestrian community.
Founded in 2021, #WeRideTogether advocates for safer sports environments through education and policy consulting. Its work supports all levels of sport, from grassroots to international federations.
