RULES

1. Teams will consist of four horses and riders, the fastest three to count.
   The time of the third member to finish will be the time of the team.
   
   
2. No horse may compete more than once during the day. Falls will be penalised by time only.
   
   
3. When a horse falls during any class, it is immediately eliminated, and horse and rider may not continue on the course. A horse is considered to have fallen when at the same time its shoulder and quarters have touched either the ground or the obstacle and the ground, or when it is trapped in a fence in such a way that it is unable to proceed without assistance or is liable to injure itself. This does not prevent horses which stumble or refuse, thus unseating the rider, from being remounted to continue.
   
   
4. Crash hats must be worn by all competitors. Back protectors are recommended.
   
   
5. Any competitor having three refusals at a fence or five on the whole course will be eliminated and must retire immediately. Failure to comply with this rule will eliminate the whole team.
   
   
6. The Judges’ decision will be final at all times.
   
   
7. In the event of postponement no refund of entry fees can be made, but if the event is cancelled 50% of the entry fees will be refunded.
   
   
8. The organisers accept no liability for any accident, damage, illness or injury to horses, owners, riders, grooms, ground spectators or any other persons or property on the ground. All cars and horseboxes are parked at owners’ risk.
   
   
9. All dogs must be kept on leads.
   
   
10. It is a requirement that all participants carry Third Party Insurance for not less than £5m. It is also strongly recommended that all participants have Personal Accident Insurance.
