The Equestrian Federation of the Dominican Republic has decided to exercise its right to appeal the FEI Tribunal´s decision with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland.

"After careful review of the FEI Tribunal decision by our legal counsel, the DOM NF and Yvonne Losos de Muñiz have filed a joint appeal today at CAS headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland," Muniz told Eurodressage.

"The DOM NF entirely disagrees with the decision issued by the FEI Tribunal, and understands it is in the obligation to continue with the process at CAS not only to protect the interests of its rider Yvonne Losos de Muñiz, but also to defend the ideals of fairness and rule compliance in equestrian sport, as well as the position of other small nations that might find themselves in a similar situation in the future."
