All 856 participating horses at MET II Tour Oliva blocked in FEI system

The FEI has decided to block all participating horses at the MET II Tour in the system. This brings the total to almost 3.800 horses that aren't allowed at the moment. Before registrations the horses need to be tested negative on EHV.

The FEI was advised that two horses had tested positive for EHV-1 at their home stables in Belgium and another horse in Switzerland after returning from the Mediterranean Equestrian Tour (MET) in Oliva (ESP). Although the two horses in Belgium were subsequently negative in re-tests, all 856 horses that participated in Oliva since the start of MET II on 9 February 2021 have been blocked in the FEI Database.
