Horse Welfare
This event operates within the FEI Code of Conduct for the Welfare of the Horse in all respects, and fully supports the British Equestrian Federation’s Charter of the Horse in order to maintain standards in competition. The expectation is that when mounted or non-mounted the welfare of the horse is paramount and requires competitors and supporters to adhere to the principles of good horsemanship at all times. All those involved in the show, in arenas or on the showground, are to adhere to the Code of Conduct, and the welfare of the horse must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences. Personnel found in breach of horse welfare or demonstrating unacceptable behaviour will be asked to leave the venue immediately. Disciplinary action will be considered against military personnel.

Stallions
Stallions are permitted at the show centre. Stallion disks and white ribbons are to be clearly displayed at all times. When led in-hand an appropriate bridle is to be fitted. It is the responsibility of the owner, lessee, Authorised Agent, or rider to take adequate precautions to ensure other horses/ponies, competitors and members of the public are not put at risk of injury.
