STALLIONS Stallions, should wear official ‘discs’ at all times whilst at the venue, including
Yard/stable, float etc. These discs are to be worn on both sides of head collars and bridles or
on some part of the horse on both sides to identify to others that the horse is a stallion. No
stallion is to be moved around a venue without displaying the stallion discs and a suitable
restraint. The restraint can be a bridle, a rearing bit or a chain lead rein over the nose or
under the jaw.

awards will only be for Preliminary and Novice levels. There will be an FEI Small Tour
