Further Rules and Regulations - Indoor Driving Specifications - MANY OF THESE POINTS ARE COMMON SENSE - PLEASE READ AND ABIDE BY THESE RULES AS OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE. Thank you - We are asking people to wear masks and keep at least 2m apart when course walking. We are allowing the driver ONLY to walk the cones to keep numbers to a minimum. No congregating in other competitors transport of any kind unless from the same bubble. There will be short allotted times for groups of 10 competitors to walk the cones course. Competitors walking the cones course will do so in a one-way system to avoid crossovers. Obstacle phase will allow groups of 10 (5 drivers, 5 grooms) per obstacle and each group will rotate to the other obstacle after an allotted time. DO NOT stop within the obstacle to discuss - please move away to avoid crossovers. FACE MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES. To help the cones and obstacles to run smoothly, each competitor will have a copy of the courses before the event. This will be emailed to all competitors after the closing date (Tuesday 6th of October). Please note - there may be slight changes to the course on the day. Only designated officials and helpers are to touch the course elements (dressage markers, cones and obstacle components). Number bibs will be accessible from the entrance to the dressage arena. They will be set in number order - please only handle your numbered bib. On their return, please place in the red plastic bin. As we are limited to amount of helpers we can have, please be patience as course building may take a little longer than usual. Thank you. Carrie |
