Riding Club Rules
 |
All our
competitions and events are run under British Riding Club Rules, for the
current year, and you are advised to obtain a copy from the British Riding
Clubs Office, The British Horse Society, Stoneleigh Deer Park, Kenilworth,
Warks, CV8 2XZ, Tel: 08701 202244
|
|
Please take
special note of the rules that apply to Equine Influenza vaccination. These
rules are applied, very strictly, at Area and Championship competitions and
it is a good idea to check, well in advance of competing, that your
horse’s vaccination certificate is up to date and that all the individual
dates on the certificate comply with the current vaccination rulings
|
|
A summary of
the current dress and tack rules for the various Club and Area competitions
is given below.

|
We run our
events and competitions at various locations in the area and we are only
able to do so by kind permission of the owners of the premises and the land.
We are very grateful to all those who provide facilities for us and it is
important that we respect owners’ wishes and their property and that
riders co-operate fully with Club Officials:
|
*Please
take all your own and your horse’s litter home
*Please
pick up all your horse’s droppings
*Please
do not leave your horse unattended
whilst tied to the side of your
lorry or trailer.
Damage
can be caused to the going and it is unsafe from a Health and Safety point of
view
*Please
only ride where you are permitted to do so
*Please
volunteer to help set up, or clear away, at competitions
We
look forward to seeing you at Rutland Riding Club’s events
