About the Federation

Working Equitation was introduced in Belgium by Luc Decafmeyer and Christophe Sergeant in 2003. In the same year ETAP (Equitation de Travail Arbeids Paardrijden) was founded, representing Working Equitation in Wallonie, the French speaking part of Belgium. In 2014 Flanders got its equivalent in Flanders Working Equitation (FWE), representing the Flemish riders. Since 2018 both associations work together as Working Equitation Belgium (WEB). WEB supervises the regulations, the competition calendar, judge training and team selection. Belgium has about 10 competitions each year and at the end of the season a Belgian championship is held. Belgian teams and riders participated in 2008 (UK), the 2010 EC in Sardinia, 2016 Ponte de Lima, 2016 Brazil and the 2018 European Championships in Munich. At the World Championships 2022, Belgiums most successful rider Virginie Dubus achieved 4th place in the general results.
