 All proposed eventing rule changes for 2019 have been approved by the FEI General Assembly, which concluded today in Manama, Bahrain. The rule changes will come into effect on Jan. 1, 2019. While there are rule changes impacting numerous different sections of the FEI Eventing Rulebook, here are the most notable revisions below. Click here to read the full document of proposed, and now approved, rule changes for 2019. Blood, Whip Use and Yellow Cards All cases of minor blood on the horse caused by the athlete, either in the mouth or on the flanks from spurs, will be given a recorded warning or stronger sanctions. Should the same athlete receive more than one recorded warning for a case of athlete-induced blood on a horse within three years, the athlete will automatically receive a yellow warning card. Two recorded warnings for the same offense will result in a yellow warning card. Use of the whip has been limited to two times per use. The ground jury can deem multiple excessive uses of a whip between fences as abuse of the horse. If a horse’s skin is broken or has visible marks, the use of the whip will always be considered excessive. All cases of excessive use of the whip will automatically result in a yellow warning card or stronger sanction. Definition of Categories The new category system approved at the 2017 FEI General Assembly will come into effect on Jan. 1, 2019. CIC will no longer be used to designate the short format. Instead, CCI-L will denote long formate and CCI-S will denote short format. The new 1.05-meter Introductory level introduced in 2018 will become the new CCI* level in 2019 and can be organized as short or long format in regard to order of the phases and horse inspections. All other FEI levels will shift up in their star category according to the chart below:  The CCI5* level system will be gradually introduced over the next two years. The current CCI4* competitions — Kentucky, Badminton, Luhmühlen, Burghley, Pau and Adelaide — will all receive the new CCI5*-L category designation in 2019 but must fulfill new requirements over a period of two years to retain the designation.
CCI5* Requirements: Minimum level of prize money: €150,000 Euro ($175,000 USD) Mandatory closed-circuit television for public, athletes, owners and ground jury A minimum of 30 starters, maximum of 75 starters 11-12 minute cross country course (6,270-6,840 meters in length with 40-45 efforts) All-weather dressage arena is strongly recommended CCI5* Yearly Review: A yearly review will take place to evaluate each CCI5* event in regards to performance against the established criteria. A pr-assessment will take place at the end of 2019, with a formal evaluation at the end of 2020. The Risk Management Steering Group will also be involved in the yearly review to assess the fall rate on cross country and other safety measures. Starting in 2020, all CCI5* competitions will be reviewed on an annual basis, with CCI5* status renewed or revoked accordingly for the following year. Dressage The FEI has approved the following rule changes in relation to dressage for 2019: Collective marks will be removed and replaced with one overall mark for “Harmony of Athlete and Horse,” which is scored on a double coefficient. At 4* championships and 5* level events, if the score of the flying changes varies by 3 points or more from the average of the scores of the other judges for the same movement, the ground jury must review the video after the dressage test on the same day. Adjustments to scoring for the flying changes can be made accordingly. Only ear bonnets that “allow horses to use all their senses and move freely with the ears” will be permitted. Cross Country The FEI has approved the following rule changes in relation to cross country for 2019: Missing a flag on cross country will now result in 15 penalties instead of 50 penalties if the “horse misses a flag but clearly negotiated the element or obstacle.” “A horse is considered to have run out (20 penalties) if, having been presented at an element or obstacle on the course, it avoids it in such a way that the body of the Horse fails to pass between the extremities of the element or obstacle as flagged.” Only official video recording will be permitted as evidence when reviewing penalties. “Officials will clarify before the start of cross country … which video recording will represent the official view to avoid any misunderstanding.” “Unattached neck straps” will not be allowed on cross country. Hackamores without bits will not be allowed on cross country. Show Jumping Show jumping time penalties will now match cross country, with 0.4 time penalties added for every second over the time allowed. Bitting The FEI has made extensive changes and clarifications to the bitting section of the rulebook “to take into account the wide use of snaffles in eventing,” as well as defining the action of bits. You can view the full list of tack and equipment rule changes in Chapter 7, items 43-45, of this document. The revised Eventing Rules will be updated here shortly.  A new BE Affiliated Event joins the calendar for early August
Running alongside a Country Fair at Glamis Castle The team at established event centre, Auchlishie Eventing will be putting on a spectacular show in the superb setting of Glamis Castle in August 2019. In addition to affiliated BE eventing, there will be a Country Fair to attract spectators from across Scotland and the north. Running classes from BE 80(T) up to Novice in the first year and with on-site stabling, this is a great event for the grass roots eventers to come along to. Organiser, James Helyer, says “this is an exciting new venture for us and we could not be luckier with the venue – not only is it a stunning place for an event, but the staff at Glamis could not be more accommodating. The event slots neatly into a gap in the Scottish calendar, so we are hoping for good support from the northern eventing community”. The cross country courses will be designed by BE A-list Course Designer and Platinum Course Builder Adrian Ditcham, who was the lead builder at the London 2012 Olympics. The courses will wind through the natural parkland and go through the most amazing water complex. Adrian says “the natural features of the parkland will make choosing the route easy – my job will be to ask the right questions in the right places in order to offer a fun challenge to competitors at all levels.” The main ring will have show jumping throughout the event and a natural amphitheatre gives a great view over the centre of the event. The Country Fair will take place alongside the horse trials and in addition to an array of tradestands, there will be food and craft tents and other countryside attractions for the public to enjoy. Assistant Organiser, Thomas Helyer says he is “relishing the challenge of putting on this new event and looking forward to working with a new team to provide an event that has something for everyone”.
