A reminder to all competitors in Training classes that these classes are NOT schooling classes. Training classes are run under Eventing Ireland rules and thus three refusals constitutes elimination and competitors may not continue:
“10.4 After Elimination or Retiring
An Athlete eliminated or retiring for any reason must leave the arena/course at once and has no right to continue. An athlete must walk his horse off the course, by the shortest safest route, either mounted or dismounted. If an athlete has fallen, he/she must not remount. Disobeying this rule will be subject to a summary fine of €30 in addition to any other penalty that may be given.”
