Second Request for Pro Choice Top Hat Gets a No, Marshmallow Fluff to Be Banned, FEI Dressage Rule Revisions to be Voted On

On 3 August 2021, British equestrian magazine Horse & Hound posted that a final push for a pro-choice top hat/helmet rule was thrown out by FEI.

The FEI issued a "rule revision" draft on 12 July 2021 in which this news became public. Many more interesting and sport developing revisions are on the table, including the banning of marshmallow fluff

National Federations and Stakeholders were given seven weeks until 30 August 2021 to review the first draft and the proposed amendments laid down in this first Draft and to make comments and/or propose any changes.

On 18 October 2021 the FEI will issue the final draft of the proposed rules changes to National Federations and Stakeholders.
