European Federations To Meet, Devise FEI Strategy

The European NFs will be meeting this week to develop plans for this new era in the FEI Nation. Certain to be on the agenda are sponsor considerations, next steps following the disastrous General Assembly, and considerable wound licking. The Carrot will be following these important developments for the European sport, as big plans are sure to be announced shortly.

USEF CEO John Long "Clarifies" Copenhagen Statement

John Long, CEO of the US federation, has finally "clarified" his truly confounding statement made in the Clean Sport panel discussion in Copenhagen. Speaking of the now-infamous "progressive list," Mr. Long said, "There is no way we ever would have proposed or supported something like that; there are just not enough drugs allowed and the levels are way too low. So once again, I repeat: This proposal did not come from the United States Equestrian Federation, it is not our official position, and we do not support it." Media then asked Mr. Long how the USA delegation voted on the deficient proposal, but he declined to respond.

Mr. Long won the FEI's prestigious Most Obvious Bullshit award for this world-class performance.

HRH Reassures That FEI Is Solvent, Stresses Unity

Due to last week's long-anticipated, can't-deny-it-anymore financial meltdown in Dubai, the FEI president has sought to reassure the equestrian public that the FEI remains solvent and is not at financial risk. "FEI World has always been completely separate from Dubai World, so there is nothing to fear. We remain in a very strong financial position." When asked about whispers that the FEI headquarters might end up homeless, HRH scoffed, "This is just a silly rumour; the FEI can always go back to renting another headquarters as it did before. There are countless vacant office buildings in...Dubai, for example, and the staff can even continue to ski!"

HRH also addressed the uproar that has broken out over her devious rule changing behaviour. Apparently inspired by her husband's comments on the Dubai-Abu Dhabi rivalry, she remarked, "There is no FEI and European NFs, we are one, who doesn't understand this should do their homework before they start talking, we will be there for each other when we need it. And I want to tell those people who nag about the FEI and European NFs to shut up."
