The FEI has launched an investigation into Australian equestrian Heath Ryan following allegations of horse abuse and the circulation of a video showing abusive training methods. Both the FEI and Equestrian Australia have provisionally suspended Ryan pending the outcome. The FEI emphasized its commitment to horse welfare and is working closely with Equestrian Australia to thoroughly examine the facts, urging anyone with relevant information to come forward. No further comments will be made during the investigation to maintain its integrity.

Separately, the FEI continues to handle long-pending cases involving Cesar Parra and Evi and Tanya Strasser. Parra’s hearing concluded in March 2025, but a decision has yet to be released. The Strasser case remains unresolved amid ongoing appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, with provisional suspensions reinstated after a previous temporary lift was annulled. The FEI has stated it will not provide further updates until these matters are concluded.
