Federated Equine Inspection Tours (FEIT)
to participate, regardless of age, gender, breed or registration. Anyone who wishes to have an opinion and a
score from the judge may have their horse inspected.
FEIT inspections are judged by licensed, highly experienced, USEF R Judges. Horses are presented in hand and
at liberty and the quality of the horse’s conformation, walk, trot and canter are evaluated, discussed and
scored. Riding and driving tests are also available at some locations.
Horses are scored 40% on conformation and 60% on movement. For horses that qualify, first, second and third
premiums are given and ribbons and certificates are awarded. All horses scoring 7.7, and over, will have their
quality further acknowledged by also receiving an award of “High Merit”.
FEIT currently offers a choice of 3 different Suitability Standards and one breed standard that horses may be
judged against and more standards may be added in the future:
*Sporthorse Inspection Standard (traditional Olympic disciplines)
*Park Inspection Standard (for riding or driving horses with high knee action)
*Utility Inspection Standard (Western disciplines, Hunters, Driving)
Breed-Purebred Friesian Inspection Standard
We also have the very popular:
