Whether training or competing, understanding the rules and regulations affecting equestrian equipment is essential. Governing bodies regulate equipment to ensure fairness at a competitive level, but also in the interests of rider safety and horse welfare. As research into these areas continues to develop and products improve, rules and regulations can be subject to change. Riders are responsible for making sure that both their own equipment and their horse\u2019s tack meet current regulations<\/strong> \u2014 even at unaffiliated competitions, where organisers often follow affiliated guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we aim to draw together key information on hats<\/a>, body protectors<\/a>, whips<\/a>, spurs<\/a> horse boots <\/a>and other regulated equipment, to provide the clear and practical guidance that you need to ride with confidence.*<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
