Note:

o The individual/team winning any Trophy shall be responsible for its care while in the possession of the participant to who it has been awarded. The winners are advised to get the Trophy insured. It will be their responsibility to ensure the safe return of the Trophy to the Organizer of the All India Police Equestrian Meet. The Team/Individual being awarded any of the above-mentioned trophies or such other Trophies that are instituted, will have to sign an undertaking for the safe custody and return of the Trophy. o In case of a Trophy being shared by more than one Individual/Team, the joint winners shall receive the Trophy together and keep it for six months each. It shall be the duty of the second recipient to ensure safe and timely return of the Trophy to the organizers.

o The winner of the Trophy will sign an Indemnity Bond as laid out in Appendix jointly with the Team Captain/Manager of the Team for the safety and care of the Trophy

CARE OF TROPHIES: 1. It will be the responsibility of the Unit to ensure that the Trophy won by their participant is maintained in the Unit properly. 2. The winner of a Trophy cannot retain the Trophy in his residence or such other place of his choice. The Trophy will be in the custody of the unit at such place as decided by the Head of the Unit or such other person so designated; 3. No engraving of name at any place in the Trophy will be done either by the winner or by the unit to which he belongs. The All India Police Sports Control Board will arrange for the inscription/engraving of the name of winner on the Trophy prior to the commencement of the Next meet; 4. The Team will ensure to always store the Trophy in a glass fronted cabinet to restrict air circulation. Use desiccated silica gel in the cabinet to keep humidity to a minimum and slow the tarnishing process. 5. Clean silverware monthly with only a silver polishing cloth, polishing in one direction and in straight lines. Tarnish is easily removed when first noticed as a yellowish tint, but will get tougher with time. 6. Do NOT use polishing cream only if the silverware has become heavily tarnished. Always use products specifically intended for silverware, as other products may be too abrasive. Don’t use old polishes that have dried up, as the abrasive components will have become too concentrated. 7. It is important to remove fingerprints straight away as they contain oily salts that can cause lasting damage. 8. If you prefer to use gloves to handle silverware, do not use latex gloves as these can cause further tarnishing. It is better to use heavyweight cotton gloves. 9. For long-term storage it is advisable to wrap silverware in tissue paper and then seal it in polyethene bags to restrict air circulation. Newspaper print and elastic bands can react with the silver plate causing permanent damage.

NATIONAL POLICY FOR CONTROL OF EQUINE INFECTIOUS ANAEMIA (EIA)

Equine infectious anemia (EIA), a dreaded disease of equines was reported during 1987 in India in thoroughbred horses. Coggin’s test is an internationally accepted test for diagnosis of EIA cases. Constant monitoring surveillance and quarantine, restriction on movement of horses could make a success in controlling EIA in India. In order to completely eradicate the disease, some measures and policies are to be adopted at the national level.

AUTHORIZED AGENCY: National Research Center on Equines (NRCE) has been recognized as official national referral laboratory whereas Central Military Veterinary Laboratory, Meerut, has officially been authorized to conduct testing of all horses Regional diagnostic laboratories will be recognized from existing veterinary colleges/universities for testing of civilians and turf clubs

PROCEDURE FOR SUBMISSION OF SAMPLES FOR TESTING: The sample for EIA testing of all civilian horses would be submitted through recognized agencies/authorities e.g. turf/race club authorized, IPAIEFI veterinary colleges and state/central veterinary animal husbandry official. Sample will be collected in triplicate one sample will be deposited with NRCE as reference sample.

RETESTING OF REACTOR: Reactor will be re-tested by NRCE/CMVL/regional diagnostic laboratory within 30 days after initial test.

MOVEMENT OF HORSES: a) EFI/IPA/RWITC/other turf clubs would provide calendar of equestrian activities in advance of state/central veterinary/animal husbandry authorities. b) Movement of horses from EIA non-infected area to another non-infected area could take place with Coggin’s negative certificate and validity of the test report would be 90 days.

c) Movement of horses from and to infected area will however be restricted minimum for 3 months and would be allowed after 2-negtive tests, first being within 30days and second at 90 days.

a) c) All horses must be Coggin tested before coming to Competition venue, A Coggin’s test negative certificate with a validity of minimum 30 days must be produced for veterinary check on arrival. Contingents participating in the AIPEC will intimate their EIA Test Report (Coggin’s test) and Mallein Test Report in advance to The Show Secretary.

b) No team will be allowed inside the Competition area or the camp area without valid Coggin’s Test report.

Examination on Arrival . The Veterinary Commission will detail a representative to examine all Horses arriving at the Event venue, before entering the Event stables as soon as possible after arrival. The objective of the Examination on Arrival is to: a) Verify the identity of each Horse from its History Sheet, b) Check that the EIA Test etc has been completed and report obtained; c) Verify whether all other details are correctly recorded in the History Sheets d) Enquire if the Horse has been in contact with other animals suffering from infectious disease or come from an area or establishment that is not free of such diseases. e) Ensure that the Horse is not suffering from any infectious disease, posing a biosecurity risk or any other medical or welfare issues.

2. Bio-Security Concern: Any biosecurity concern must be immediately reported, before admission or entry of the Horse , to the Organizing Secretary of the Meet/President Ground Jury and dealt with in accordance with the FEI directions.; 3. For any Horse considered to have been in contact with other animals with, or animals showing signs of equine infectious disease, where the risk is deemed significant these Horses should be stabled in the isolation stables. 4. Following any Veterinary Examination: a) Any Horse considered to be a health risk to other Horses at the Event must be stabled in the isolation stable. b) Any Horse not considered fit to compete must be reported to the Ground Jury before the first Horse Inspection. The Vet. Comm. should discuss the case with the Ground Jury so that they can make a Decision, if necessary, to Eliminate the Horse before the first Horse Inspection.

3. Eventing constitutes the most complete combined Equestrian Competition, demanding of the Athlete considerable experience in all branches of Equitation and a precise knowledge of his Horse’s ability, and of the Horse a degree of general competence, resulting from intelligent and progressive training. The Cross Country Test constitutes the most exciting and challenging all-round test of riding ability and horsemanship where correct principles of training and riding are rewarded. This test focuses on the ability of Athletes and Horses to adapt to different and variable conditions of the Competition (weather, terrain, obstacles, footing, etc.) showing jumping skills, harmony, mutual confidence, and in general “good pictures”.

This test requires by all involved special awareness and acceptance of a certain level of risk inherent to the particularly challenging and exciting nature of the test. Every effort must be made to ensure that, at each level, responsible Athletes are participating with progressively trained Horses in order not to be exposed to a higher risk than which is strictly inherent to the nature and level of the Competition

4. Mode of Competition: The one day event comprises of three distinct tests held either on the same day or spread over 2 days during which a competitor rides the same horse throughout: . Dressage held in the morning. . Show Jumping held in the afternoon. . Cross Country held the next day Or as decided by the Ground Jury.

b) Lady Police Personnel of any rank will also be eligible to participate in the event

What are the aspects that will be observed during the Hacks?

1. Dress of the rider: The Dress of the rider should be checked. 2. Tack of the Horse: Check on the appearance, task and the conformity of the horse. (The test has to be performed on snaffle. No spurs are allowed) 3. Position and aids of the rider:

1. All the movements should be obtained with imperceptible aids and without apparent effort of the rider. The rider should be well-balanced, elastic, sitting deep in the center of the saddle, smoothly absorbing the movement of the horse with his loins and hips, supple thighs with the legs steady and stretched well down. The heels should be the lowest point. The upper part of the body should be tall and supple. The contact should be independent from the athlete’s seat. The hands should be carried steadily close together, with the thumb as the highest point and a straight line from the supple elbow through the hand to the horse’s mouth. The elbows should be close to the body. 2. The effectiveness of the rider’s aids determines the precise fulfillment of the required movements of the tests. There shall always be the impression of a harmonious co- operation between horse and rider. 3. The use of the voice or clicking the tongue repeatedly is a serious fault. Refer to sanctions. 4. School work: (a) Halt: At the halt the horse should stand attentive, engaged, motionless, straight and square with the weight evenly distributed over all four legs. The neck should be raised with the poll as the highest point and the nose line slightly in front of the vertical. (b) The Walk: The walk is a marching pace in a regular and well-marked four time beat with equal intervals between each beat. This regularity combined with full relaxation must be maintained throughout all walk movements. (c) The Trot: The trot is a two-beat pace of alternate diagonal legs (left fore and right hind leg and vice versa) separated by a moment of suspension. (i) The trot should show free, active and regular steps. (ii) The quality of the trot is judged by general impression, i.e. the regularity and elasticity of the steps, the cadence and impulsion in both collection and extension. This quality originates from a supple back and well-engaged hindquarters, and by the ability to maintain the same rhythm and natural balance with all variations of the trot. 5. Canter: The canter is a three-beat pace where, in canter to the right, for example, the footfall is as follows: left hind, left diagonal (simultaneously left fore and right hind), right fore, followed by a moment of suspension with all four feet in the air before the next stride begins. (i) The canter, always with light, cadenced and regular strides, should be moved into without hesitation.

(ii) The quality of the canter is judged by the general impression, i.e. the regularity and lightness of the steps and the uphill tendency and cadence originating from the acceptance of the bridle with a supple poll and in the engagement of the hindquarters with an active hock action – and by the ability of maintaining the same rhythm and a natural balance, even after a transition from one canter to another. The horse should always remain straight on straight lines and correctly bent on curved lines. (iii) Simple change of leg at the canter. This is a movement in which, after a direct transition out of the canter into a walk, with three to five clearly defined steps, an immediate transition is made into the other canter lead.

6. Rein back is a rearward diagonal movement with a two-beat rhythm but without a moment of suspension. Each diagonal pair of legs is raised and returned to the ground alternatively, with the forelegs aligned on the same track as the hind legs. (a) During the entire exercise, the horse should remain “on the bit”, maintaining its desire to move forward. (b) Anticipation or precipitation of the movement, resistance to or evasion of the contact, deviation of the hindquarters from the straight line, spreading or inactive hind legs and dragging forefeet are serious faults.

ENDURANCE COMPETITION

(Not Applicable for 35th AIPEC)

Endurance Riding is a competition to test the competitor’s ability to safely manage the stamina and fitness of the horse over an endurance course in a competition against the track, the distance, the climate, the terrain and the clock. Therefore, the most important responsibility of the Technical Delegate, the Ground Jury, the Stewards, the Veterinary Commission, the Chef d’Equipe, the Team Veterinarian, the Grooms and ultimately the Athlete is to ensure the health and welfare of the horse by diligent application of their skill together with a caring, knowledgeable attitude by the Athlete. To be successful, the competitor must have knowledge of pace and efficient and safe use of the horse across country. In an Endurance Ride any member of the Genus Equus counts as a “horse”.

There will be an Grade II Grade for the Endurance Riding to be conducted in the All India Police Equestrian Meet, in which the distance will be between 40 to 50 kms and restricted to a One day event. The Final decision about the conduct of the Meet will be with the Organising Committee of the Meet, which will be dependent on availability of suitable area, sufficient participation and such other reasons.

2 Reports of such actions must be accompanied whenever possible by the signatures and addresses of witnesses of the actions. The reports must be given to the Ground Jury or the Secretary of the Organizing Committee as soon as possible.

WEIGHTS :- As per FEI Rules.

Mandatory Rest for Horses:

1 After competing in an event, a horse must be given a mandatory minimum rest period, as defined, before it is again eligible to participate in a National or FEI competition (Rest Period commences at Midnight on the day that the ride finishes as denoted by the maximum ride time allowed and finishes at Midnight, the day before published ride start time):

Distance completed start – 40 km 5 days (retirement only) Start – 80 km 12 days

See FEI Articles 815.3.3 and 815.2.4 for extended mandatory rest periods following immediate invasive treatment.

2 Invasive treatment is defined as: Any treatment of a horse which involves the puncture or incision of the skin or insertion of

51 any instrument or foreign material into the body is considered invasive. Exceptions to the rule would be the administration of oral electrolytes or acupuncture. Any metabolic condition diagnosed in a horse that has failed to qualify that left untreated would compromise or threaten the welfare of the horse would be considered a condition requiring invasive treatment.

3 If a horse has Failed to Qualify for metabolic reasons which require immediate invasive treatment at any events it must be given a mandatory rest period of 60 days before it is again eligible to participate in an event.

4 If a horse has Failed to Qualify for metabolic reasons which require immediate invasive treatment at any 2 consecutive events or twice within any 3 month period, it must be given a mandatory rest period of 90 days before it is again eligible to participate in an event.

5 It is the responsibility of the FVD and the Treatment Veterinarian to review, on a case by case basis, the treated horses at the end of an event and classify each case as that is immediate invasive treatment, incurring mandatory rest or Authorised Treatment. Inspection Decorum

1 Horses which are presented for vetting must proceed, as instructed, directly from the ‘timed in gate’ to the veterinary examination area (vet lane) showing constant forward motion.

2 No action must be taken to hold back the horse or to prevent this constant forward motion (this to include deviation from course, encouragement either by sound or by command to stop).

3 Whistling within the vet gate to encourage a horse to urinate is not allowed and considered as a failure to observe this article and may attract disqualification or other disciplinary action.

The following can be enforced should the above regulations not be followed at all times:

1 Should a horse be presented at the vet gate with tack then that horse will be considered to have failed the first inspection. The time in will be cancelled and the horse will be required to exit the vet gate and present for a second (final) presentation.

2 Should a horse fail to proceed directly to the line veterinarian, as instructed by an official, the Rider (Person Responsible) will be in breach of Art. 821.2.3 and may be given either a fixed time penalty of 5 minutes and/or be given a yellow warning card. (Note: two yellow warning cards results in immediate disqualification from the event and a two month suspension from all FEI competitions)

3 Should a horse be walked so slowly that it stops then it is considered to be in breach of ‘constant forward motion’ and may be subject to either a fixed time penalty of 5 minutes and/or be given a yellow warning card. (Note: two yellow warning cards results in immediate disqualification from the event and a two month suspension from all FEI competitions)

4 The horse will not be allowed to enter the vet lane itself until the heart rate has been taken and instruction given by the line Veterinarian to trot.

Extract of FEI Rules 800.2.6 Each day of an Endurance competition must be divided into at least three phases, separated by a veterinary inspection and a compulsory rest period, or hold time. 800.2.7 In every Endurance competition, there shall be at least one hold no shorter than 40 minutes. 800.2.8 The hold for all phases must meet a minimum ratio of 1 minute per 1 km, ie: following a 35 km phase, a minimum hold time of 35 minutes. 800.3 Whatever the order and rules for starting, each competitor must carry out the whole competition as if he/she were alone and competing against the clock. 800.4 An Endurance Ride is a competition against the clock. The combination that finishes the course in the shortest time will be classified as the winner of the competition after successfully completing all final Veterinary Inspections and medication control as well as other protocols in place for the safety of the horse and Athlete under these Rules, the FEI General Regulations or the FEI Veterinary Regulations. Competitions shall be organised to allow Athletes to establish their own pace to compete against the clock, subject to: 800.4.1 Adverse Conditions: Should adverse conditions on course or other considerations arise which might compromise the opportunity to safely complete a course, the Organising Committee (OC) in consultation with the Technical Delegate (TD) may establish a maximum time for a section of the course or a phase of competition and/or the closing times for one or more Vet Gates, in order to ensure Athletes are not falling too far behind the actual pace of the ride and to ensure horse safety. 800.4.2 Trail Safety: Conversely, in circumstances related to trail safety, the OC in consultation with the TD may establish sections of a course where controlled gaits of the horse and/or maximum speed apply. However, this will depend on the given circumstances of a specific course as well as time of day and generally should not exceed 5 km at any one time or 5% of the course. Generally, there should not be more than one section under controlled speed and/or set pace per phase of the course, and never in the final phase.

Article 801 - THE COURSE/’Field of Play` 801.1 The Technical Delegate (TD) and FEI Course designer (when appointed) shall consult with the Organising Committee (OC) to assist in creating a technically challenging course across country within the limits provided by the terrain and weather conditions, to include changes in the footing, that will test the stamina and riding skills of the combination, but not compromise the welfare of the horse.

801.2 The course should include naturally occurring or manmade features such as (but not exclusive to) tracks, ditches, steep climbs, descents and water crossings that implements technically challenging factors including but not limited to: footing, terrain, altitude, direction and speed.

801.8 The finish must be long and wide enough to enable several horses to finish at speed without interfering with each other, and must provide sufficient run-out to allow Athletes to safely come to a stop after crossing the finishing line in any potential sprint or gallop. It must be situated as close to the Vet Gate as possible.

801.9 The ‘field of play’ is defined as; the defined course (loops or phases), the defined crewing areas on course or within the vet gate, the vet examination area and the hold area at or within the vet gate. For Championships, there will be restricted access to the field of play as defined in the schedule. Article 807 – COMPETITION & FAIR PLAY 807.1 An Athlete may lead or follow their horse on course, but must be mounted to pass through the start of any day and the finish line of the day’s final phase under penalty of disqualification. 807.2 An Athlete who does not respect any given time limits will be deemed to have failed to qualify for the next phase or final classification. 807.3 On the course, no other person may lead or ride the horse once the combination has started under penalty of disqualification. 807.4 Willful obstruction of an overtaking combination by a slower combination is penalized by disqualification. This is not to prevent competition between Athletes on course for placing, but is intended to apply in situations where the slower combination is being lapped or passed due to travelling at a significantly slower pace or because of other problems of refusal or equipment issues. 807.5 A combination who fails to qualify for the next phase of competition or is disqualified for any reason must leave the course at once and has no right to continue unless there is no viable alternative and only after being approved by a member of the GJ or, if not available, a Steward.

807.6 Permitted Assistance During Event or on Course: 807.6.1 The Event Schedule shall specify where assistance (crewing) is allowed both within vet gates and on course during an event. 807.6.2 Competitions must have access to water on course at least every 10 kms. 807.6.3 In any case including while on course, for example after a fall or if the Athlete is separated from their horse, or in the case of loose or lost horseshoes, a combination may be assisted. 807.6.4 For other Permitted Assistance that is allowed please see Endurance Notes for Guidance. The Event Schedule shall be determinative for each event.

807.7 Forbidden Assistance: The following types of activities are forbidden, subjecting offending Athletes to a warning, the receipt of yellow card warning(s) or disqualification at the discretion of the GJ, including but not limited to: 807.7.1 Being followed, preceded or accompanied on any part of the course by any bicycle, pedestrian or an Athlete not in the competition. 807.7.2 Providing aid on any part of the course not specifically designated for such aid. 807.7.3 Accepting aid on any part of the course by someone not authorised to provide it. 807.7.4 Being followed, preceded or accompanied on any part of the course or immediate adjacent access track as defined (see notes for guidance) by any vehicle (notwithstanding art. 807.6.1). 807.7.5 A third party encouraging a horse to trot in a vet gate. 807.7.6 Someone on course encouraging the horse(s) by any means whatsoever. 807.7.7 Cutting wire fences, or altering a part of an enclosure on or within the course so as to clear a way or to cut down trees or eliminate challenges or alter technical aspects of the course.

807.7.8 Accepting any intervention by a third party, whether solicited or not, with the object of giving advantage to the Athlete or their horse. 807.7.9 Conflict of Interest: Officials who may have a real or perceived Conflict of Interest should notify the OC at the time of appointment or as soon as a conflict of interest arises prior to the competition. If the declared conflict of interest, in the opinion of the President of Jury, impairs or appears to impair the integrity of the judging of the competition, the official will have to stand down. Conflicts of Interest should be declared at the pre-ride briefing of officials and athletes.

Article 812 – WEIGHTS 812.1 At all senior CEI4* Championship events, the minimum riding weight for Athletes must be 75kg to include all riding equipment (Art.812.6).

812.6 Athletes must be weighed out and, where necessary, be weighed with all riding equipment (excluding bridle). The Athlete must maintain the minimum riding weight at all times during the riding phases under penalty of disqualification. It is the Athlete’s responsibility to weigh immediately after crossing the finish line if requested to do so by an FEI Official.

812.7 Organizers must provide a reliable weighing machine with recalibration capability.

Article 813 – CLASSIFICATION 813.1 Individuals: In an endurance competition, the winner is the combination with the shortest elapsed riding time who successfully passes or complies with all protocols and requirements, including but not limited to the final veterinary examination. The schedule of the competition must clearly define the method of classification.

813.2 Teams: The winning team is the team with the best time after adding the final classification of the three highest placed combinations in the team. In the case of a tie, the winning team will be the one whose third combination has the best time. In the event there are fewer than 3 members of a team who are classified, such teams are not eligible for team placing.

813.4 Disqualification, Retirement or Failure to Qualify for the next Phase: 813.4.1 Disqualification: Occurs when an Athlete is penalized by the GJ and removed from further competition for a violation of these Rules, the FEI General Regulations, the FEI Veterinary Regulations, or the Schedule. 813.4.2 Failure to Qualify for the Next Phase: Results when a combination is removed from competition for failure to successfully pass a veterinary inspection, to complete the full course as required, or to meet all time requirements for presentation or completion. 813.4.3 Retirement: Results when an Athlete voluntarily withdraws from competition, but may only be considered voluntary and a Retirement when: the combination has correctly finished all phases to that point; the combination has completed its most recent phase by passing all required veterinary inspections following that phase, including compulsory re- inspection or veterinary requested re-inspection; and, Art. 813, herein, has not otherwise provided for removal from competition.

Article 820 - VETERINARY CONTROL 820.1 The Veterinary Commission has absolute control on all matters concerning horse welfare. 820.2 The FEI Veterinary Regulations apply to all International Endurance Rides. 820.3 The series of examinations and inspections required by these Rules are established in the interest of the health, safety and welfare of the horse in the competition. 820.4 The decision of the Ground Jury taken on the direct advice of the Official Veterinarians is final and there can be no appeal against them. However, the Ground Jury is obliged in all cases to provide the reasons for the elimination of any horses.

820.11 During this period, the horse may be inspected more than once if the Veterinary Commission or Ground Jury so decides. However, before the scheduled presentation time has elapsed, the horse must demonstrate its fitness to continue which is assessed upon three criteria: heart rate recovery, metabolic stability and gait.

820.12 These inspections for heart rate recovery, metabolic stability and soundness must be conducted at the same time and the horse must meet the minimum criteria for the Star level of the event. If there is any alteration to how the inspections will be conducted, that must be announced prior to the competition by the GJ or published in the Schedule.

820.13 Once a horse has successfully met the required heart rate parameters its timed hold, starting from the moment the horse was presented to the Veterinary Commission, continues for the stated period. During the timed hold, all the other aspects of the inspection, including trotting the horse, will be carried out.

820.14 The Technical Delegate or the Ground Jury together with the Veterinary Commission can decide to modify the length of timed holds according to extreme weather conditions or other exceptional circumstances. Modifications must be announced to all Athletes and/or Chefs d’Equipe before the start of the phase concerned.

820.15 The Organizing Committee, the TD, the President of the Veterinary Commission, the Foreign Vet Delegate and the PGJ are required to provide for appropriate aftercare and veterinary treatment controls including arrangements with an equine referral facility with surgical capabilities. For CEI 4 Star events and Championships, triage and emergency treatment facilities must be provided on site. Such arrangements m

821.2 Horse Inspections: 821.2.1 First Inspection: In principle, it should take place on the day preceding the start of the competition and is performed by the Veterinary Commission, together with the Ground Jury. It will be conducted according to the standards for all inspections, as outlined below, to include: Heart Rate, Respiratory System, General Condition and Metabolic Status, Gait Evaluation, Soreness, Lacerations, Wounds, Range of Motion and other matters and items which from time to time may be added to the Veterinary Card. 821.2.2 Inspections Generally: There are no differences between the Veterinarians responsibilities to evaluate a horse at all inspections. The same standards apply to judging fitness to continue both metabolically, heart rate and in terms of gait evaluation. 821.2.4 Compulsory Re-Inspections: The Veterinary Commission, in consultation with the Ground Jury, will establish at which Vet Gates they will require horses to be presented for

56 a compulsory re-inspection, no earlier than 15 minutes before that Athlete’s scheduled departure time from that Vet Gate. 821.2.5 Requested Re-Inspections: The examining veterinarian may ask an Athlete to present their horse for re-inspection during its hold time and no earlier than 15 minutes prior to departure if after passing the horse, the veterinarian retains concerns about the horse’s continuing stability. This rule is in place to provide the benefit of the doubt for the opportunity to continue to the horse.

Article 823 - VETERINARY TREATMENT DURING COMPETITION Veterinary treatment may not be administered to a horse during the competition without the written approval of the Veterinary Commission. Authorised treatment does not affect classification of the horse. (see FEI Veterinary Regulations)

XII One Horse One Rider: One horse can participate in the event with just one Rider.

2 POLICE HORSE TEST

The Event will be restricted to serving police officers. The objective of the test is a check on the ability of the horse and the rider to perform normal police duties. The test will be carried out as under. A rider can enter on one mount only.

a) Dressage:

Rules for the dressage event will be laid out in the FEI Rules for the event. Test at Appendix V. b) Urban Area Test:

Obedience and Courage of the horse to face obstacles that horse is expected to face in urban area viz- violent crowd, crackers, Heavy-traffic, Dead bodies on the road etc. Pace - Must be in Walk

Penalties - Horse is expected to pass through particular passage, which is marked by Red & White flags. Penalty zone is 5 mtrs. Before approach of the obstacle. First and second refusals are penalized as time wasted in top score jumping event. But third refusal leads to elimination. Resistance for more than 60 seconds leads to elimination. Continuing in any other pace except walk in urban area leads to elimination. Speed - l00 mtrs per minute.

c) Rural Area: The obstacles here are similar to cross country obstacles of one-day event. But height of the obstacles shall not exceed 0.90mtrs.

Fall of the horse or rider or both either in urban or rural area leads to elimination. In case of ties, competitor with faster time in rural area shall be the winner.

Note:

i. The marks for the Dressage Test to be as per Appendix. V

ii) THE GOOD marks from 0 to 10 awarded by each judge to a rider for each numbered movement of the School Work Test together with the collective marks are added together deducting any error of course or test. The percentage of maximum possible good marks obtainable is then calculated. (Percentage is obtained dividing total good marks of the judge (minus any error of course or test) by maximum possible good marks obtainable and then multiplying by 100 and rounding the result to two decimal digits. The AVERAGE PERCENTAGE for the rider is obtained by adding together the percentage for each judge and dividing by the number of judges always rounding the result to two decimal digits.

ii) IN ORDER to convert average percentage into penalty points, this must be subtracted from 100 and multiplied by 1.5, with the resulting figure being rounded to one decimal digit. The result is the score in penalty points for the test

c) Part II Rural and Urban Test.(Article 532 of FEI Rules)

1. An obstacle is considered to have been knocked down when, through a mistake of the Horse or Athlete:

1.1. the whole or any upper part of the same vertical plane of it falls, even if the part which falls is arrested in its fall by any other part of the obstacle (see JRs Art. 218.1);

1.2. at least one of its ends no longer rests on any part of its support.

2. Touches and displacements of any flag, in whatever direction, while in the act of jumping, do not count as a knock down. If in doubt the Ground Jury should decide in favour of the Athlete. The knock down or displacement of an obstacle as a result of a Disobedience is penalized as a Refusal only.

In the event of the displacement of any part of an obstacle (except the flags) as a result of a Disobedience, the bell will be rung and the clock stopped while the displacement is re-adjusted. This does not count as a knock down and is only penalised as a Disobedience and corrected by time (6 Seconds) in accordance with JRs Art. 232.

3. If any part of an obstacle, which has been knocked down is likely to impede an Athlete in jumping another obstacle, the bell must be rung and the clock stopped while this part is picked up and the way is cleared.

4. If an Athlete jumps an obstacle correctly which has been improperly rebuilt, he incurs no Penalty; but if he knocks down this obstacle he will be penalised in accordance with the table in use for the Competition. c) Time Faults; The Total time will be calculated for the Rural portion and the urban portion at the speed prescribed for each part.

V QUADRILLE CONTEST

a) Teams - Any four members of a Competing Unit may form a team.

b) Dress - Unit approved ceremonial mounted dress. No working dress is permitted for this event. Test at Appendix IV.

c) Saddlery - As for dressage event.

d) Plan of the Course & Arena Details - of the movement to be performed by each team are given in Appendix – IV & VI.

e) Scoring - The allotment of marks will be as given for each movement in the " Plan of Course" while marking, Judges will pay particular attention not only to the correct execution of movements by individual members but also the performance of the team as a whole. Harmony, co-ordination and timing are most important in this event and would be very material in the marking.

f) Awards of scores: While Dressage is the systematic development of horse and rider, resulting in a balanced, harmonious team. The Quadrille Test is the most basic stages of dressage by a team of four riders who, during the test, perform the different movements in a balanced and coordinated manner and the communication between the riders is so subtle that the team seems to be performing on its own without any signal/direction from any of the riders.

Unlike judging in a Dressage tests, where the movements are judged in the manner in which the rider is able to show off the horse's abilities and evaluate the level of training of the horse, Judging in a Quadrille test is to see the uniformity of the movements, coordination between each of the riders as member of a team

What will be observed by the Judge in Quadrille test are:

i. Impressions on the Dress of the Four Riders;

ii. Uniformity in the saddlery and bridle of the horses;

iii. Uniformity of the colour of the horses;

iv. The first three gaits, walk, trot and canter, should be forward and consistent. The Comfort and fluidity with which the four riders as a team make the horse feel confident travelling at all three gaits of walk, trot and canter in all movements must be kept in mind by the team;

v. The horses should have smooth, forward transitions, both upward and downward. transitions should be mainly ridden off the leg and seat, with minimal hand.

vi. Transitions should also be prompt and occur at the exact moment by the four riders where they wish to change the gait.

vii. All the horses have the predecessor to collection, willingness to accept contact and stretch into the bridle.

viii. The four riders must have utmost control, timing and coordination, in different movements which are formed by individual horses and riders, in two's, four's at the trot and at the canter.

ix. The uniformity in the Simple Change of Lead – if the horse is brought back to a walk immediately asked to show a few clearly defined walks strides and then asked to depart in canter using the opposite leading leg.

x. Execution of Movement at Certain Point. In a movement which must be carried out at a certain point of the arena, it should be done at the moment when the team is on or in close proximity of this point, except in transitions where the Team approaches the letter from a diagonal or perpendicular to the point where the letters are positioned. In this case, the transitions must be done when the Team reaches the track at the letter so that the Team is straight in the transition. g) Beginning/End of Test. A test begins with the entry at A and ends after the salute at the end of the test, as soon as the Team moves forward. Any incidents before the beginning or after the end of the test have no effect on the marks. The Team should leave the arena in the way that is prescribed in the text of the test. h) Music - The Organizers will try and provide band music while the teams are performing. CDs will be brought by the participating teams.

i) Time - Although no time limit is being set for this event. Judges will take due note of a very sluggish or rushed performance and deduct marks in general impression. Smoothness of performance will be duly rewarded.

j) Signals & Commands - No words of command or whistle signal shall be permitted.

k) Ties -In case of a tie, the team scoring the highest marks in the “GENERAL IMPRESSION” will be the winner.
