http://l.b5z.net/i/u/8000223/f/PCAWA_Eventing_Rules_January_2012.pdf http://www.pcawa.com/eventingIf 3 refusals are incurred at any one obstacle, competitors may proceed to the next obstacle but MUST clear the way for oncoming riders. There will be NO ELIMINATIONS for refusals. However, omission of obstacles or hazards will not qualify you for a completion of the course ribbon.
Should a competitor fall (this includes an unscheduled dismount – as there are areas on course the competitor may be asked to dismount) and/horse fall on course, the rider will be immediately eliminated and requested to leave the course on foot at a walk. The rider must be accessed by the appointed medical officer upon leaving the course.
Dress:
LONG SLEEVED shirts/polo-shirts/windcheaters must be worn.
Coloured jodhpurs and chaps may be worn at this event and short/long
riding boots. Please note the standard for riding helmets which will
be enforced.
Note:
Jewellery is not allowed to be worn by competitors and will be
checked during the gear check procedure. Competitors will be asked
to remove all jewellery before being allowed to compete. Long hair
must be tied back to ensure competitor bib numbers can be viewed by
jump judges/ officials at all times. Competitors must not wear nail
polish whilst competing.
Watches:

Competitors must now wear rider number at all times when they are at
the event when they are with the horse, ie, leading, lunging etc but
they may walk the course (the day before) without a number.
NUMBER HOLDERS (BIBS) MUST BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE SUPPLIED
COMPETITOR NUMBERS.
Also Important: Competitors must also comply Pony Club Rules- Runaway Horse.
For the purpose of easy identification after a rider has been
separated from their horse, a horse must also carry its number
either on its saddle cloth or bridle. This rule is to take effect
immediately and still requires the rider to wear a bib during each
phase of the competition.
Please note: Clear plastic sleeves and adhesive tape will not
be accepted as number holders. Riders who present to gear checking
using this form of number holder will not be allowed to compete. The
club will have a limited number of medical armbands and bib holders
