Description
The SVPS is the umbrella organisation for all associations and clubs involved in equestrian sports in Switzerland in the broadest sense. It supports and coordinates the interests of its members throughout Switzerland and represents them in public, before the authorities, at Swiss Olympic and in other national and international organisations. As the FN (Fédération Nationale), the association represents the interests of its members in the FEI (Fédération Equestre Internationale). It also coordinates and promotes the training and further education of all equestrian sports enthusiasts in riding, driving and handling horses. The promotion of young talent is a particularly high priority. The SVPS is committed to ensuring that animal welfare issues in equestrian sports and horse husbandry receive the necessary attention. It promotes and supports competitive equestrian sports in all disciplines in Switzerland.
