INTER HUNT TEAM RELAY
Wednesday 21st July 2010
CONDITIONS
Each team of four must hunt regularly with the Hunt they represent and be a subscriber to that Hunt or
Pony Club. Teams must be correctly dressed for a day’s hunting. A £20.00 deposit will be levied on all
teams for the use of the competition Bibs. This will be returned upon return of the complete set of Bibs.
Teams that are eliminated from the competition MUST return the bibs to the Secretary’s Office within 30
minutes of their last relay. It is strongly recommended that horses should be shod with studs.
RULES
1.
2.
Teams will compete in drawn order, two teams at a time and jump separate identical courses.
The team members must hand a hunting whip on to the next member of the team. If the whip is
dropped, the competitor who is handing it over must dismount, pick up the whip and may, from the
ground, give it to the next competitor. The lash may be taped up but should be no longer than the
solid length of the whip.
3. HARD HATS – It is the sole responsibility of riders to ensure that at all times whilst on horseback they
wear correctly fitting protective headgear which complies to the latest British Standard. The Society
accepts no responsibility for any injury arising from a failure to comply with this regulation.
4. If a team member fails to complete the course either through retirement due to injury or a horse having
three refusals, the following member must complete the round from the point of retirement and then
continue to jump their own round. A team member may not complete the previous member’s round
until they have had three refusals on the course.
5. Time penalties of five seconds will be added for each fence down.
6. Refusals and errors of course will increase the time taken to complete the course.
7.
Teams must consist of four riders and four horses. No horse or rider may compete for two teams
in the same competition or in both the Junior and Senior Team events.
8. In the event of a serious accident to either horse or rider the opposing team member will complete
their round and the clocks then stopped for both teams. The next competitors will not be allowed to
start the course until the injured rider / horse has left the arena. The competition will be re-started with
the next rider of the team involved in the incident starting at the fence where the incident happened
and the opposing team from the start line.
9. Should a horse or rider be injured DURING the competition, they must be seen by a Veterinary
Surgeon or a Paramedic. If the horse or rider is ruled un-fit to continue, the Team may remain in the
competition but one team member must complete the course twice – each time with the appropriate
change of whip. A 10 second time penalty will be imposed on the Team.
10. OBJECTIONS – Any Team or Team Member with a grievance must make his protest in writing within
30 minutes of the completion of the class and pay a deposit of £20.00 to the Chairman. An Appeals
Tribunal will consider the objection and the person making the objection must be available to attend.
The decision of the Appeals Tribunal shall be final and if the protest is not substantiated the deposit
may be forfeited.
11. The Chairman’s decision is final.
