Team chasing's new fall rule trialled this season
Horse & Hound
|March 30, 2023
Riders who come off will be eliminated instantly and have to retire in a measure that will be reviewed by autumn
RIDERS will not be allowed to get back on and continue after a fall, in new team-chasing rules being trialled this spring.
The rule covers riders unseated on course – horse falls already result in elimination for the combination – and it is being introduced “on a trial basis” for the spring season.
A notice from British Team Chasing (BTC) said the decision followed discussion with those involved “in all aspects” of the sport.
