The ECAHO Executive Committee, further to its announcement of 6 October 2025 on shows in Israel (https://www.ecaho.org/news/announcement-from-the-ecaho-executive-committee-shows-in-israel), has decided not to support any non-affiliated events in the country of Israel organized from this point forward.

Officials (A- and B-list Judges, ECAHO National Judges, National Judges from ECAHO Member countries, A- and B-list Disciplinary Committee Members, ECAHO National trained DC members, ECAHO Recommended Ringmasters) and Handlers who participate in such events will be suspended from officiating at any ECAHO event for a period of one year, starting from the date of the concerned event.

Furthermore, any horse entered in these events will be prohibited from participating in any ECAHO event for one year, also starting from the date of the concerned event.

This measure is valid until further notice.
