This voting allows the organization to keep all 19 member seats, each representing a region that takes part in the sport.
Princess Haya, the wife of the Sheikh of Dubai and President of FEI, wanted a seven member panel in order to modernize it.
According to Inside The Games, she had said: “There’s no more that can be done to move forward other than restructure.
“If you wish us to serve the sport, you must take this step.”
Haya will be up for reelection as President next year.
