In case of marked lameness, the judge at C, after consultation with the other judge(s) ifappropriate, will inform the competitor that he is eliminated. There is no appeal against this decision.A horse leaving the arena completely, with all four feet, between the time of entry and the final salute,will be eliminated.Any resistance that prevents the continuation of the test for more than 20 seconds will bepunished by elimination.When a competitor makes an “error of course” (takes the wrong turn, omits a movement, etc.) thejudge at C warns him by sounding a bell/whistle. The judge shows him, if necessary, the point at which he musttake up the test again and the next movement to be executed, then leaves him tocontinue by himself. However, insome cases when, although the rider makes an “error of course,” the sounding of the bell/whistle would unnecessarilyimpede the fluency of the performance (for instance if the competitor makes a transition at V instead of K),it is up to the judge at C to decide whether to sound the bell/whistle or not. However, if the bell/whistle isnot sounded at an error of test in which the movement is repeated and the error occurs again, only one erroris recorded.When a competitor makes an “error of the test” (trots rising instead of sitting, does not take the reins inone hand at the salute, etc.), he must be penalized as for an “error of course.”In principle, a competitor is not allowed to repeat a movement of the test unless the judge at C decideson an error of course and sounds the bell/whistle. If the competitor has started the execution of a movement andtries to do the same movement again, the judge(s) must consider the first movement shown only and at the sametime penalize for an error of course.If there is more than one judge, unless all judges are in agreement on an error, the competitor receivesthe benefit of the doubt.Any outside intervention by voice, signs, etc., is considered unauthorized assistance. A competitorreceiving unauthorized assistance will be eliminated, at the discretion of the Ground Jury.When there are two or more judges, one horse and rider, taking no part in the competition, will performthe prescribed ride in order that the judges may confer before the competition begins.F.
