The Equestrian Federation of Pakistan (EFP) is the national governing body to promote and develop Equestrian sports in Pakistan.〔(Welcome to Pakistan Olympic Association )〕 〔The organisation has recently been at the center of quite some controversy about its operations. See press reports, ''Pakistan Observer'' Islamabad, 29th October 2014, 'EFP's dubious appointments'; and ''Nation'' Lahore edition, June 2015, 'Pakistan tentpegging team's unsuccesful tour of India'. These articles amply make clear that there have been various dubious appointments of office bearers to the Equestrian Federation of Pakistan (now renamed the Equestrian and Tentpegging Federation of Pakistan) , largely dictated by nepotistic connections to senior Pakistani army and rangers personnel. One prime example cited is that of one Abid Salim Khan Tarin, the incumbent Secretary-General of the ETFP/EFP, who is neither an outstanding equestrian in any of the disciplines (eg tentpegging, polo, show-jumping, dressage etc) nor educationally qualified to hold this charge, for which he is receiving considerable remuneration as well as many facilities and perks, in addition to free joy-rides at government and the tax payers expense. Surely, there are many properly qualified Pakistani equestrians to hold this post? The ''Pakistan Observer'' also asks , in its report, if the Pakistan Sports Board or the Pakistan Olympic Association have any knowledge of this blatant instance of corruption and abuse of public funds- and if so, that do they propose to do about this? Perhaps the Pakistani National Accountability Bureau might take note as well? This sort of illegal and immoral activity seems to be endemic to Pakistan now〕 The federation is affiliated with: * International Federation for Equestrian Sports〔(Pak - Pakistan | Fei )〕 * Pakistan Olympic Association and * Pakistan Sports Board〔(Pakistan Sports Board )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Equestrian Federation of Pakistan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
