Team chasing's new fall rule trialled this season

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.
