The FFE represents equestrian users at the authorities, all those who ride horses, horse-drawn vehicles or walk with an equine in their hands on the public highway, and not only for equestrian tourism purposes. Since its creation, the FFE has defended their members by keeping access to public roads in general and to slow roads and tracks in particular, and their place in the Highway Code. The FFE supports "orphan" equestrian disciplines such as riding in the forks (amazon), acrobatics (gymnastics on horseback), equestrian archery, jousting, archery, Equidance, etc. and this is how endurance, TREC, etc. developed in Belgium.The FFE is committed to the training of "horse men and women" so that they and their equine partners can evolve in harmony and safely. The FFE does not aim to select elite sportsmen and women, but aims to improve the knowledge of the horse, the donkey and the equestrian cultures in general.
