AFRICAN YOUTH GAMES 18 to 28 July 2018 SPORT RULES FOR THE EQUESTRIAN EVENT

THE FEI CODE OF CONDUCT FOR THE WELFARE OF THE HORSE

The FEI requires all those involved in international equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the Horse must be paramount. Welfare of the horse must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences. The following points must be particularly adhered to:

1. General Welfare: a) Good Horse management Stabling and feeding must be compatible with the best Horse management practices. Clean and good quality hay, feed and water must always be available. b) Training methods Horses must only undergo training that matches their physical capabilities and level of maturity for their respective disciplines. They must not be subjected to methods which are abusive or cause fear. c) Farriery and tack Foot care and shoeing must be of a high standard. Tack must be designed and fitted to avoid the risk of pain or injury. d) Transport During transportation, Horses must be fully protected against injuries and other health risks. Vehicles must be safe, well ventilated, maintained to a high standard, disinfected regularly and driven by competent personnel. Competent handlers must always be available to manage the Horses. e) Transit All journeys must be planned carefully, and Horses allowed regular rest periods with access to food and water in line with current FEI guidelines.

2. Fitness to compete: a) Fitness and competence Participation in Competition must be restricted to fit Horses and Athletes of proven competence. Horses must be allowed suitable rest period between training and competitions; additional rest periods should be allowed following travelling. b) Health status No Horse deemed unfit to compete may compete or continue to compete, veterinary advice must be sought whenever there is any doubt. c) Doping and Medication Any action or intent of doping and illicit use of medication constitute a serious welfare issue and will not be tolerated. After any veterinary treatment, sufficient time must be allowed for full recovery before Competition. d) Surgical procedures Any surgical procedures that threaten a competing Horse’s welfare or the safety of other Horses and/or Athletes must not be allowed. e) Pregnant/recently foaled mares Mares must not compete after their fourth month of pregnancy or with foal at foot. f) Misuse of aids Abuse of a Horse using natural riding aids or artificial aids (e.g. whips, spurs, etc.) will not be tolerated.

3. Events must not prejudice Horse welfare: a) Competition areas Horses must be trained and compete on suitable and safe surfaces. All obstacles and competition conditions must be designed with the safety of the Horse in mind. b) Ground surfaces All ground surfaces on which Horses walk, train or compete must be designed and maintained to reduce factors that could lead to injury.

AYG - ALGIERS 2018 2 c) Extreme weather Competitions must not take place in extreme weather conditions that may compromise welfare or safety of the Horse. Provision must be made for cooling conditions and equipment for Horses after competing. d) Stabling at Events Stables must be safe, hygienic, comfortable, well ventilated and of sufficient size for the type and disposition of the Horse. Washing-down areas and water must always be available.

4. Humane treatment of horses: a) Veterinary treatment FEI JUMPING RULES, 25th edition, updates effective 1 January 2017 Veterinary expertise must always be available at an Event. If a Horse is injured or exhausted during a Competition, the Athlete must stop competing and a veterinary evaluation must be performed. b) Referral centres Wherever necessary, Horses should be collected by ambulance and transported to the nearest relevant treatment centre for further assessment and therapy. Injured Horses must be given full supportive treatment before being transported. c) Competition injuries The incidence of injuries sustained in Competition should be monitored. Ground surface conditions, frequency of Competitions and any other risk factors should be examined carefully to indicate ways to minimise injuries. d) Euthanasia If injuries are sufficiently severe a Horse may need to be euthanized on humane grounds by a veterinarian as soon as possible, with the sole aim of minimising suffering. e) Retirement Horses must be treated sympathetically and humanely when they retire from Competition.

5. Education:

The FEI urges all those involved in equestrian sport to attain the highest possible levels of education in areas of expertise relevant to the care and management of the Competition Horse.

This Code of Conduct for the Welfare of the Horse may be modified from time to time and the views of all are welcomed. Particular attention will be paid to new research findings and the FEI encourages further funding and support for welfare studies.

In the case of a jump-off, this will take place over a shortened course of six obstacles, which may not be raised or widened. Starting order The starting order of the teams in the first round is established according to a draw. As this is a Continental Team competition format, the order of starting of riders in each team will be decided by the Chefs d’Equipe.

Teams with equality of penalties will retain the starting order of the first round. The order of Teams starting in any possible jump-off will be the same as in the second round. If more than one jump-off is required to determine medal placing, the jump-off for third place will take place before the jump-off for first and second place. Teams retain the same order of starting as the second round. Team Classification The team classification is decided by adding the penalties incurred by the best three (3) competitors of each team in each of the two (2) rounds. In the case of equality of penalties between the teams for first, second and/or third place, a jump-off against the clock is compulsory in which all team competitors participate. The score in the jump-off is obtained by adding the penalties incurred by the three (3) best competitors in each team, but in the event of further equality of penalties, the times of these three (3) competitors in the jump-off added together will decide the winning team as well as those placed second or third. Teams with equality of total penalties for other places are placed equal.

Classification The Individual classification is determined for each competitor by the addition of penalties incurred in Rounds A and B. In case of equality of penalties for first, second and/or third place, a jump-off against the clock is compulsory. If more than one jump- off is required to determine medal placing, the jump- off for the third place will take place before the jump-off for the first and second place. In case of equality of penalties and time for any of the medal placing after the first jump-off, there is a second jump-off over the same course. In case of equality of penalties and time after the second jump-off, the competitors concerned are placed equal. Athletes not participating in the jump-off will be placed according to aggregate penalties over both rounds and the time incurred in the second round.

CHAPTER III - STABLES, SERVICES AND TRAINING FACILITIES

Article 22 - INTRODUCTION The African Youth Games bring together the best qualified young competitors from all over Africa to compete for the most coveted award in African Youth’s equestrian sports. It is therefore most important that the accommodation, health and feeding facilities for horses, grooms and competitors and the facilities for training and practice should be satisfactory in every respect. The following guidelines/directives are designed to help Organising Committees to provide for the needs of the horses, grooms, competitors and Team Officials.

Article 23 - STABLES 23.1 Provision of suitable stables with adequate lighting and ventilation (60 m• air space for each horse). Loose boxes must be of at least nine (9) square metres. They should be disinfected before arrival and after departure of the horses. Preferably the stable design should include a roof some distance above the stalls, reflecting heat and allowing airflow over the stabled boxes. 23.2 Each team must be provided with one (1) tack room and at least one (1) tack room per 4 individual athletes must be provided. 23.3 Each stable block will require: 23.3.1 A supply of drinking water and drinking buckets, at least one outlet per 10 boxes; 23.3.2 Hot water, cold water hoses and ice readily available; 23.3.3 A regular routine for the collection and disposal of used bedding and manure; 23.3.4 A supply of straw and shavings for bedding material; 23.3.5 Fire precautions and a plan for emergencies, (it is important to keep passage ways free of obstructing material/tack in case of emergencies); 23.3.6 A security system designed to keep all unauthorised persons out of the stable areas (refer to Veterinary Regulations); 23.3.7 Tying up facilities in the stables and the passageways; 23.3.8 At least one electrical power point for each team or 4 individuals out of reach of the horses; 23.3.9 A restroom for grooms and competitors in the stable block plus a room for the team officials in the stable area; 23.3.10 Vector and insect control (i.e. screening for insect control if required, sand around stables for tick control, if required).
