Equestrian Australia has made two changes to its National Eventing Rules effective 17th July 2017. The new rules will come into effect immediately as they relate to safety within the sport and are;
7.2 Event Veterinarian
A veterinary surgeon must be present during the jumping and cross country tests
7.3 Stewards
Neck straps
539.3.1a Permitted. Neck straps are permitted at EvA95 level and below
If you want to know more about the benefits of wearing a neck strap, read what William Fox-Pitt says about them in our training article. If it’s good enough for William then surely it's worth trying a neck strap!
Full details of the new rules are available on the Equestrian Australia website here
