Amendments to 2025 printed Rulebook.
Rule 50 -Air Jackets may be worn. If a member chooses to wear an air jacket they are allowed in addition to a normal body protector, which meets BETA 2018 level 3 standard. Air jackets must not be worn under any jacket or body protector and numbers must be fitted with elasticated fastenings .
When an air jacket inflates the sudden noise can startle horses, thereby, causing difficulties for other members if used in confined areas, eg, indoor schools and ménage’s. Therefore, air jackets are not encouraged to be used in those areas except for medical reasons.
Rules 271, 272 and 274 – The height of first pony of show hunter type to increase to not exceeding 123cm.
