The arena is defined as the roped or fenced off area
within which the games are played and the marked area
is situated.
The marked area is inside the arena. It contains the
necessary markings for the games.
The playing area is inside the marked area and is
contained within the four corner flags. If knocked over,
these corner flags must be replaced. Any infringement
incurs elimination.
The arena should be marked out in accordance with the
diagram shown in figure 1. Bending poles have a 15cm
diameter mark, other equipment a 40cm mark. Variations
may be necessary due to the size of the arena available
or the number of teams competing. Any variations to this
or to the games equipment should be announced by the
referee at the briefing.
Any equipment knocked over by a rider, which needs to
be replaced, needs to be done so inside or touching the
marking. Any infringement incurs elimination.
Should markings become obliterated, then the referee’s
decision on the position of equipment is final.
No pony may enter the Penalty box once the race has
started, except the next pony to go. Any infringement
incurs elimination.
Trainers must not enter the Penalty box at any time
during a race. Any infringement incurs elimination.
