Michael Cherry, the former Bermuda Equestrian Federation president, has been honoured by the Fédération Equestre Internationale.

Cherry, who was BEF president for 20 years, received the FEI Badge of Honour from Ingmar De Vos, the governing body’s president, at this year’s general assembly in Puerto Rico.

Before retiring from his position in August, Cherry represented the Island at 15 general assemblies, a position the BEF said he held “with great commitment and dedication”.
