Formalising the rapprochment between the IHAA and the FITE !
The rapprochement between the FITE and the IHAA had been voted unanimously by the IHAA in January 2020 in Pomaz, Hungary, during the meeting of the general members of the assocation. The negociations had already started in 2017 during the European Championships of Horseback Archery, under the guidance of the FITE and with the collaboration of the IHAA, at the Parc Equestre Fédéral in Lamotte-Beuvron.
Jeudi 27 février 2020 , les présidents des deux associations, Frédéric Bouix (FITE) et Alan Le Gall (IHAA) se sont réunis pour formaliser la décision de l’IHAA de rejoindre la FITE. L’objectif principal de ce rapprochement est d’offrir au Tir à l’arc à cheval l’encadrement nécessaire au développement de la discipline à l’échelle internationale en passant par la création d’un règlement commun à toutes les nations participantes.
The IHAA was created in 2013 and is invested in the development of horseback archery and its uniform regulation. It also has the mission to promote this sport through international competitions. The IHAA also wishes to put forward the use of a single system of rules, as well as establish a point system that would allow archers to quantify their results and fix improvement objectives.
Horseback Archery has now been added to the list of sports supervised by the FITE: TREC, Driving TREC and Working and Traditionnal Equitation.
