Motivation from Moshi, by Jane Savoie

Jane is right when she says Attitude Is a Choice. Sometimes I choose to be cranky and not do what I know I should be doing. Other times I’m so into the joy of the work that I do my very best to please Jane and to please myself. Either way, it is my CHOICE.

Knowing that you choose your attitude, what do you choose for today? Do you want to be cranky? That’s okay. We all have days like that. But if you want to feel good, I suggest you decide to do just that. It’s not hard. Just decide and let the momentum of that decision carry you.

I hear your horse calling to you! Get going to the barn! You have some choices to make!

Love, Moshi

New Clean Sport Website Launched www.feicleansport.org

Lausanne (SUI), 18 January 2010 – The FEI today launched a new website dedicated to its ongoing Clean Sport Campaign. The website’s address is: www.feicleansport.org.

The website contains information about the new regulations that the FEI is implementing this year to combat doping in equestrian sports. The rule changes and other components of the Clean Sport Campaign were approved unanimously at the FEI’s General Assembly in Copenhagen last November.

“We felt it was important to have a dedicated site where people could go to get all the information they needed,” FEI Secretary General Alex McLin said. “We firmly believe this site will raise awareness of our anti-doping efforts and increase overall compliance with the new rules when they come into force on 5 April this year.”

The site is specifically tailored to the needs of athletes, vets, officials, media and others to help them understand their roles in the Clean Sport Campaign. The site also contains details about the new Equestrian Community Integrity Unit that was a key recommendation of the Joint-Commissions to help monitor corruption, identify offenders and conflicts of interest in equestrian sports, as well as safeguard horse welfare. Members of the Equestrian Community Integrity Unit will be present at major FEI events beginning in April.

The new Clean Sport website will be complemented by the FEI’s revamped website www.fei.org, which is due to be launched shortly.
