The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) is launching the Equine Out-of-Competition Anti-Doping Testing in 2026 as part of its commitment to promoting fairness, equine welfare, and excellence, both in and out of competition.

The Equine Out-of-Competition Anti-Doping Testing apply to all FEI disciplines, with Endurance being the first to be implemented.

In 2026, a number of endurance horses will be selected to be part of a Testing Pool. These horses will take part in targeted anti-doping testing, and their registered Trainers will need to keep the FEI updated on the horses’ locations at all times—this is known as Whereabouts Information. This information allows the FEI to locate the horses whenever needed and carry out testing without advance notice.

A newly developed feature "Whereabouts App" of the existing FEI HorseApp will support the process of Whereabouts Information submission.

A “How To” page on the use of the Whereabouts App will be provided to the registered Trainers upon notification that their horse(s) has been placed into a Testing Pool.

A user guide for the application will be made available to registered trainers as soon as they are notified that their horse(s) have been included in a test group.

For more information, the FEI has prepared a FAQ document explaining on the Equine Out-of-Competition Anti-Doping Testing, related Whereabouts requirements, and the consequences of non-compliance with these requirements, relevant legal provisions can be found in the Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Regulations.
