The two-day event will be supported by the German Equestrian Federation alongside EQUITANA, the equestrian sports world fair.

Key topics set to be discussed at the forum include equestrian dressage at the Paralympic Games - which has been a part of the programme since Atlanta 1996 - as well as an update ahead of Rio 2016 and further news on the development of the sport's reining discipline.

The current state of the sport worldwide will also be an integral subject debated at the forum, and the future of equestrian in the Paralympics post-Rio 2016 forms a large part of the event.

The FEI are currently offering an early-bird ticket offer.

Before February 21, registration is available for €125 (£92/$142) but that will then increase to €150 (£111/$171) next Sunday (February 22).

As well as access to the FEI forum itself, the participant registration fee includes two entry tickets to the EQUITANA trade fair and coffee and lunch during the event.

Great Britain are the most successful equestrian nation at the Paralympics, having achieved a total of 45 medals, including 23 gold, since the sport's inception in Atlanta in 1996.

The equestrian competition at London 2012, which consisted of 11 dressage events, all of which were held in Greenwich Park, was considered to be the most successful in Paralympic history.
