Overview
The International Federation for Equestrian Sports (, FEI) is the international governing body of equestrian sports.
The FEI headquarters are in Lausanne, Switzerland. An FEI code of conduct protects the welfare of the horses from physical abuse or doping. On March 2, 2022, in the wake of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the FEI banned Russian and Belarusian athletes, horses, and officials from FEI events, and subsequently an FEI Tribunal panel dismissed an appeal by Russia's Federation of Equestrian Sports challenging the ban.

The FEI recognizes six disciplines under global governance in both regular and para-equestrianism competition:
Dressage and Para Dressage
Driving and Para Driving
Endurance
Eventing
Jumping
Vaulting
The following two disciplines are under regional governance:
Horseball
