Michael Dagostino I would like to make note that this year has Chairman, Equestrian in the Park. been a challenging year for the equestrian community with a great deal of negativity surrounding the treatment of retired racehorses as well as a serious review of safety in the sport.

Riders will carry their jumping penalties (ie for a knock down or disobedience) incurred in the first round into the jump off. This means that riders do not start with zero penalties unless they were clear in the first round. • The rider who has the fastest round in the jump off and the lowest jumping penalties will be declared the winner. Competition Conditions • Watches / timing equipment / electronic timing devices of any kind will not be permitted to be worn during the competition; anyone found to be using timing equipment of any kind during the competition will be eliminated. • Competitors may walk the course on foot without the aid of additional measuring equipment (i.e. wheel, GPS, cross country app) anyone found to be using any device to measure the course, or being advised of the length of course by any other member of the public will be eliminated. • Outside assistance during the competition is strictly prohibited and anyone found to be using any form of outside assistance will be eliminated.
