I attended a stewards meeting so a few quick notes on rules:

⭕️ Spurs cannot have spike rowels they need to be smooth and not have the spikes ground off

⭕️ Neck straps can be double and can be attached to the saddle

⭕️ Blue discs 💙 must be clearly visible on saddle cloths for riders who have dispensation from DNZ, such as for rising trot in all tests, use of two whips. Para riders have orange discs 🧡 which must also be clearly visible on the saddle cloth.

If you want more clarification on these rules please look them up

Happy riding for the up and coming season☺️
