This document summarizes a presentation about improving web vulnerability scanning. It discusses:
1. Current web vulnerability scanners are based on HTTP libraries and don't support JavaScript-rich applications well. Authenticated scanning is also challenging.

Despite some challenges from other fair activities, the experience provided learning for both horses and riders alike.

World Championships logo 2015 presented
The logo is designed by Stine Sandahl and is inspired by a horse symbol,
pictured on a piece of jewelry from ancient times. Visually it drags a line
from the historical roots of Nordic mythology, Vikings and the Sagas up
until today. The logo is a symbol of the Nordic collaboration for the World
Championship 2015 to be held in Denmark and supports the theme of the
event "New Nordic". Finally, it is also a symbol of our amazing Icelandic
horse as the distinct and powerful animal it is. The toelting "Dragon horse",
which has become the nickname of the logo, magical and powerful with a
high brand value. Thanks to Matilde Bøgh for beautiful photos and Jacob
Brodersen who composed the music of the film.

2. Doping case
FEIF has been informed in October about the positive outcome of a doping/medication test of an Austrian
sport rider at the Mid European Championships in Germany, which means that a prohibited substance
has been discovered. FEIF has of course a strong attitude against doping and any improper use of
medication, both in respect of welfare of the horse and fairness of competition. FEIF strives to ensure that
appropriate measures are taken. Our Austrian member association ÖIV has handed the case - following
Austrian rules - to the Austrian Anti-Doping Agency NADA. At the same time our German member
association IPZV is reviewing the case, as the Mid European Championships were organised under IPZV
approval. Unfortutely these procedures take more time then expected. Based upon FIPO 3.2 any
measures taken will be valid for all FEIF member countries. FEIF will keep the member associations and
the Icelandic Horse world informed about this case. At the same time the Board of FEIF is preparing
proposals for the member associations to improve procedures to handle positive doping/medication cases
internationally in a better way.

Breeding judge seminar "Assessment of foals
and young horses"
The seminar took place from Nov 9-11, 2012 on
Kronshof, Lüneburg in Germany and in a very
convienient atmosphere 13 participants, coming from five countries,
judged and discussed their points of view, using the linear assessment
system. A lot of interesting young horses were available for practical work.
The training shall support a good comparability among comments and
assessments. Besides, a mathmatical calculation system to rank horses
was introduced. Thanks to the Schenzel family as hosts and Barbara
Frische as main lecturer of this educational judge event.
FEIF Breeding Judges seminar and test
A FEIF international breeding judge seminar will be held at Holar University College in Iceland, April 8.-
12. 2013. This is a seminar for experienced national judges that are approved by the Icelandic horse
association of their country. The participants have to pass a test at the end of the seminar to get the FEIF
international qualification as a breeding judge. All applications must be sent to the FEIF Office
(office@feif.org) before the 4th of January 2013 by the board or the breeding leader of the national

Ethics - presentation at the committee meetings
Jens-Erik Majlund, Secretary General of the Danish Equestrian Federation, gave a presentation about
ethics during the committee meetings 2012. He provided information how the topic is handled in FEI and
the FEI-member countries.
TaskForce
The Education Committee continues to work very closely with the FEIF Task Force, which seeks to revise
and restructure our various rule books. In the course of that work it became clear that there are significant
discrepancies between the descriptions of the gaits in FIZO and FIPO. This is now being addressed, and
we can expect a draft of a completely new approach to a single unified description of all gaits of the
Icelandic horse at the FEIF Conference in Strasbourg at the beginning of February 2013.
Education Committee meeting 2012
At the request of 2 member countries the Education Committee is now working on a new matrix so we
can set a minimum standard of what it takes to become a young-horse trainer (Jungpferdebereiter). This
3. document should be ready for discussion at the FEIF conference in February 2013. The Education
Committee is also happy to give advance notice of this years Education Seminar, which is scheduled for
the beginning of September 2013 in or around Stockholm. For spring 2014 we envisage a joint Sport
Judges and Education Seminar.
Sport Committee Meeting 2012
The Sport Committee Meeting evaluated together with the Sport Judges Committee the system to
nominate Good and Harmonious Riding. It was decided to continue the system after 2012. Also the newly
introduced system with plus and minus cards has been evaluated. The aim is to show riders that marks
have been increased for good riding, or deduction has taken place because of bad (rough) riding. The
Sport Committee also decided to prepare a change in the rules for the FEIF WorldRanking to increase the
demands for WorldRanking events, in order to make results more comparable. Together with the Sport
Judges Committee seminars will be planned for FEIF International Sport Judges (April 5-6, 2013 in
Berlin), the test for international and national sport judges in September 2013 and a joint seminar with the
Education department in April 2014.
Breeding Committee Meeting 2012
The breeding judges committee and the breeding committee together with Kristin Halldórsdóttir (head of
the FEIF registration group) and Jón Baldur Lorange, WorldFengur, continued to work on more
professionalism and uniformity in the procedures of FEIF breeding assessments. Among other items, the
distribution of judge panels, the standards of tracks and health and equipment controls will be described
more precisely. Furthermore, the committees agreed that job descriptions of show leaders/ringmasters
need to be defined and standardized. The committees agreed on the activities for 2013: young breeding
rider seminar in April, a judges? seminar including a test in spring (Hólar), a seminar for ring masters and
a breeders? tent at the World Championships 2013 in Berlin.
Leisure Riding Committee Meeting 2012
The Leisure Riding Committee has now been formally established by the inclusion of Tanja Casimir (NL)
and Samúel Örn Erlingsson (IS). Next step will be to establish the international network between the
member countries. Among other items the committee discussed the definition of a leisure rider and
leisure riding, and the characterisation of a good leisure horse. In the near future the work related to
mapping the legal framework for access to the country side in the member countries, as well as a
mapping of stakeholders, will be initiated. At the FEIF Conference in February, which will be the next
meeting, the committee also plans to present the final wording of their vision and goals.
Youth committee meeting 2012
The Youth Committee had a good and productive meeting where the main focus was the evaluation of
the well organized FEIF Youth Cup 2012 in Germany, and possible improvements for the next FEIF
Youth Cup. Among them one can mention that team building will be emphasized even more on the next
FEIF Youth Cup, which will be hosted by Iceland! Norway is preparing for the FEIF Youth Camp 2013 and
the exact details will be presented on the youth leader meeting in Strasbourg. Also next year a FEIF
Youth Trekking tour will take place in Sweden, this time in August.
First FEIF Breeders Meeting
This first meeting was based on the idea to assemble breeders, trainers,
judges and officials round a table. Many items concerning the current
situation as well as the future goals were discussed. Several ideas, like for
example to set up a working group dealing with possibilities to open up
new markets for the Icelandic horse, have found their way into breeding
department. The feedback from this event was very positive.
