The organization of the Oliva International Competition has just announced that MET IV has been cancelled. The cause are the Return to Competition Measures announced yesterday by the FEI.
"Unfortunately, the deadlines set for us by the FEI are not achievable so we must unfortunately cancel MET IV. The requested deadline for the official signing of the measures extends to one week before the arrival of the horses, in our case 72 hours before Saturday, April 3, does not allow us to implement all measures for the event on time, and therefore we see no other option than to cancel," the organization said.
