Information for competitors

Riders found to be timing their cross-country run will be eliminated, no watches or phones are to be used for timing of the event by the entrant.

Callers are permitted for the dressage, but do try to learn your test.

Please be on time for your dressage test – if you are late then you will not be able to ride.

Riders need to be clean and tidy. EA approved riding hats are compulsory as are EA approved boots. Back protectors are recommended for jumping, but are not compulsory. Plaiting is allowed but not required - no points will be awarded for this but you are welcome to make your horse look as good as possible.

Riders need to ride in a bridle with a snaffle bit and nose band. Riders may use stock saddles in class for dressage in level D. The rider may use any saddle that they feel confident in for jumping/cross county (stock, all purpose, dressage or jump saddle). Please ensure that your tack is in good order.
Riders in level C or D may ride the cross country with a friend, but this will incur a penalty.

Please help put the jumps away and lend a hand tidying up at the end of the day.
We have prizes for the winners...should be a great day!!

There is a significant risk that serious INJURY or DEATH may result from horse sport activities and in particular this event.

I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of The Equestrian Federation of Australia and/or the event organiser (hereafter referred to as the "Releasees") or others and I voluntarily PARTICIPATE at my OWN RISK and assume sole responsibility for any injury, death or property damage I may suffer that arises from my participation in horse sport activities.

I agree not to drink alcohol or take drugs prohibited by law before or during this event.

I agree to follow the directions of any event organiser or official and that any misconduct or refusal by me to follow any direction of any organiser or official can result in the CANCELLATION of my participation in the event and my immediate removal from my horse NO MATTER where that may occur. I understand that any such non-compliance may result in injury, death and/or permanent disability and I agree to indemnify the Releasees against all claims made by any person as a result of my failure to comply.

I agree to wear a helmet at all times whilst participating in the sport where this is required under the relevant EFA and FEI rules and regulations, and agree that I am solely responsible for ensuring that whilst participating I wear a suitable helmet at all times where required under the relevant EFA and FEI rules and regulations, and take sole responsibility for my actions.

I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, hereby release and hold harmless and agree not to sue The Equestrian Federation of Australia and/or the event organiser, their officers, officials, volunteers, coaches, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, state bodies, affiliated clubs and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the activities (all of whom are referred to as "Releasees") with respect to any and all injury, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, whether caused by the negligence of the releasees or otherwise.

Effect of this Document

I have had sufficient opportunity to read this release of liability and assumption of risk agreement, fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it, and sign it freely and voluntarily without inducement of any kind.

I understand that my signature to this document constitutes a complete and unconditional release of all liability of the Releasees, to the greatest extent allowed by law in the event of me and/or the children under my care, suffering injury or death.
