Concussion RulesIf 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.
