Pradesh, Gujarat, National Police Academy and the B.S.F. Beautiful trophies were
donated by equestrian minded donors for the various events.

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.
34
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

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.
Note: The Cross Country will have to be the last event

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.
49
(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.

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
52
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

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.
54
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

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

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
57
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)

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.
61
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

of a Disobedience is penalized as a Refusal only.
63
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.

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.
66
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.
67
VI. MENTAL HAZARD-SPECIAL RULES
(i) Since a Horse in a Mounted Police Unit is required to clear different natural
obstacles, while on duty, this test is for testing the knowledge, skill and training
capabilities and a precise knowledge of his horse's ability and of the horse, a degree
of general competence resulting from intelligent and rational training for
performance of Mounted duties.
(ii) Objective: The test is to prove the speed, endurance and jumping ability
of a Mounted Police horse, when it is well trained and brought to peak condition.
At the same time, it demonstrates the Riders knowledge of pace and the use of his
horse.
(iii) Type of obstacles:
(a) The obstacle should be natural obstacles that are normally found in urban
and rural areas.( example - motor-cycle, bicycles, Cot (Charpoy), ditches,
water jump, stacked baskets, crates, cage with birds/chicken etc).

Dangerous Riding: [Extract of Rule 525 of the FEI Rules: Any Athlete who, at any
time during the Competition deliberately or unintentionally by incompetence is
exposing himself, his Horse or any third party to a higher risk than what is strictly
inherent to the nature of the Competition will be considered to have acted
dangerously and will be penalised accordingly to the severity of the infringement.
Such acts may include without limitation any of the following:
a) Riding out of control (Horse clearly not responding to the Athletes restraining
or driving aids).
b) Riding fences too fast or too slow.
c) Repeatedly standing off fences too far (pushing the Horse to the foot of the
fence, firing the Horse to the fence).
d) Repeatedly being ahead or behind the Horse movement when jumping.
e) Series of dangerous jumps.
Any individual member of the Ground Jury and the Technical Delegate have the
right and the duty to monitor possible cases of dangerous riding and, if
appropriate and practical, to stop and eliminate an Athlete on the course for
dangerous riding. If not directly witnessed by the Ground Jury, the incident must
be reported as soon as possible to the Ground Jury who will decide if and how to
penalise the Athlete. The President of the Ground Jury can in addition designate
one or more assistants (e.g. experienced Eventing Officials who are not in an
Official function at the Competition, experienced Athletes or/and trainers not
directly involved in the Competition) to help to monitor possible cases of
dangerous riding in the cross country. The President of the Ground Jury will
decide their specific role, authority and reporting procedure. It is recommended
that these additional Officials be grouped in pairs on the course.]
