TO BE PUBLISHED VERBATIM IN ALL SCHEDULES
THE FEI CODE OF CONDUCT
FOR THE WELFARE OF THE HORSE
The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) expects all those involved in international equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI’s Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the horse must be paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences.

1. 
   At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farriery and tack, and transportation.
   

2. 
   Horses and competitors must be fit, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete. This encompasses medication use, surgical procedures that threaten welfare or safety, pregnancy in mares and the misuse of aids.
   

3. 
   Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event.
   

4. 
   Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over. This covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement.
   

5. 
   The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in their areas of expertise.
   

A full copy of this Code can be obtained from the Fédération Equestre Internationale, Avenue Mon-Repos 24, 1005 Lausanne, Switzerland. Telephone: +41 21 310 47 47. The Code is available in English & French. The Code is also available on the FEI’s website: www.horsesport.org.

The other competitors being credited with the number of penalties representing the difference in points between each of them and the leading rider.

If a competitor is eliminated or does not complete his round for any reason, he will be awarded the same number of penalties as that incurred by the competitor who has been the most severely penalised, plus 20 penalties. If the competitor concerned has himself received the highest number of penalties before being eliminated or retiring, 20 penalties will be added to his score. Adding the 20 penalties is done after the time-difference has been converted

The number of riders permitted to participate must not be less than 15 and not more than 30. They must have taken part in the 1st qualifying competition (completed or not) and have completed the 2nd competition (without having been eliminated or without retiring); if for any reasons, one or more of the qualified competitors are unable to start, they will not be re­placed by followers.

All competitors who complete round A go forward to round B, (except those competitors who are eliminated or who have retired after round A). The penalties of the two rounds are added.

Starting order:

Round A: reverse order of penalties incurred in the 1st and 2nd qualifying competitions of the Championship. In case of equality of penalties for any placing, the result of the 1st qualifying competition will be the deciding factor for the starting order. The lowest placed qualified rider will therefore start first.

Round B: reverse order of penalties incurred in the 1st and 2nd qualifying competitions as well as Round A. The competitor with the greatest number of penalties will start first, the competitor with the least penalties will start last. In case of competitors with equal penalties the result of the 1st qualifying competition will be the deciding factor for the starting order. Jump-off: In case of equality of penalties for 1st, 2nd and/or 3rd place a jump-off against the clock is compulsory. If two jump-offs are required, the jump-off for the 3rd place shall pre­cede the jump-off for the 2nd and the 1st place.

Individual Classification

Medal winners: by the addition of penalties incurred in the 1st qualifying competition, the 2 rounds of the 2nd qualifying competition (disregarding the penalties incurred in a possible jump-off) and the 2 rounds in the 3rd competition.

Classification of Final Competition: There will be also an individual classification for all com­petitors taking part in this competition for which only the results from Rounds A and B count. Competitors with equality of penalties are placed equal. The prize-giving ceremony for the competition will take place first. The prize-giving ceremony for the Championship will take place last. FEI gold, silver and bronze medals will be presented to the riders placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Championship.
