The International Jumping Riders Club since 1977 is the voice of the showjumping riders from around the world.
WorldOfShowJumping.com reported the hind boots on Check Picobello Z were not allowed in young jumper classes.
Fédération Equestre Internationale rules state: “The following criteria must be respected in relation to hind boots worn in international Young Horses Competitions: The inside of the protection must be smooth. Only non-elastic Velcro-type fasteners are permitted; no hooks, buckles, clips or other methods of attaching the fasteners may be used; the rounded rigid part of the protection must be placed around the inside of the fetlock; no additional elements may be used in conjunction with the protection.”
New regulations regarding hind boots, which state hind boots must be removed and then replaced in the presence of a steward in the warm-up arena before entering the competition ring, became effective July 1.
