However, in order to phase out the use of EN1384 and/or BSEN1384 hat standards, the BRC 2015 / 2016 hat rules will be changed as follows: There will be no changes to the accepted hat standards for 2015 and hats will continue to be tagged with the BRC blue hat tags. However, from 1 January 2016, ALL hats must be checked and tagged with a new ORANGE BRC hat tag. All hats which only meet the standard EN1384 or BSEN1384, and do not comply with another standard off the above list, WILL NOT be accepted and therefore will not be permitted for any BRC competition. Hats which bear EN1384 or BSEN1384 along with another standard from the above list, will be tagged. For example, BSEN1384 & PAS015 (1998 or 2011) along with the Kitemark, would be acceptable, but not BSEN1384 on its own. Centaur Biomechanics In 2015 I hope to be organising a rider analysis clinic with Centaur Biomechanics. Each session is for an individual and lasts 45 minutes. This analysis can help with flat and jump work. The venue is still to be determined, as is the date. A full compliment would fill one day and consist of 10 riders with their horses. As soon as I have further details they will be posted on the SDRC facebook page and website. I look forward to hearing from any interested member of the club for this clinic.
