If you note any errors in this version, please email dressage@nzequestrian.org.nz

Dressage NZ welcomes remits to amend the rules at the next Planning Forum to be held in April 2020 – remits will need to be submitted by Friday 6th March for amendments to be formatted and distributed for consideration by areas and then discussed at the Planning Forum. Now is your chance to document what you would like to see amended for the future.

Perhaps Dressage NZ should also consider a two year or longer rules cycle?

 Concussion Rules

If a rider falls whether on their feet or any part of the body, they must get clearance before they can continuing riding. Dressage Taranaki has advised Michelle King to get judges to have riders checked when they fall in the arena & must not leave the arena until the medic on the grounds has checked the rider for any injury or
concussion. This applies to the warm up areas and in the stable area also if a rider suffers an injury. If a rider fails to present the committee will need to act as concussion is serious.

There is a compulsory stand down of 21 days for all riders and must be entered on the ESNZ website that a rider
has suffered a concussion and will not be removed until a doctor’s certificate has been produced.
