★ Matters needing attention of referees in equestrian events with obstacles

The organization of equestrian events is a complex and systematic team work, which needs to coordinate all referees and staff in all links at the same time, so the service personnel of the events should have good professional quality and knowledge. Especially the referees in the venues will face all kinds of unexpected situations at any time. Therefore, according to the past experience, in order to better hold the venue obstacle equestrian events in the future, this "Notes for Venue Obstacle Referees" is specially compiled for equestrian enthusiasts and event volunteers for the reference of venue amateur referees.

A basic rule

Route: Each obstacle course will give the venue referee a route map. The specific route of the whole competition and the height and width of each obstacle will be clearly listed on the road map. Before the game starts, every referee should know his position and work scope, and be familiar with the height and width of each obstacle and the distance between obstacles.

Obstacle sign number: All obstacle sign numbers should be placed in front of the right side of the obstacle.

Direction of travel: Red and white flags fixed above the outside of the obstacle course indicate the direction of the rider. The direction of the rider's obstacle crossing is: when facing the obstacle, the flag on the obstacle is: left white and right red. (Otherwise, the rider just bounces. Once the rider jumps over the obstacle, whether in the driving range or in the competition, the rider will be disqualified immediately. )

Time limit: The speeds used in international competitions are as follows:

At least 350 meters per minute and at most 400 meters, the speed can be reduced to 325 meters per minute in the indoor arena.

Obstacles: Generally, there are 12 obstacles and 15 jumps. Contains a double and a triple combination obstacle, or three double combination obstacles. The height of amateur obstacle can be set to 0.60- 1. 10 m; Professional player 1.40— 1.60m high. There must be two vertical obstacles to reach the highest height of this level.

Penalty standard: 4 points will be deducted for knocking off an obstacle bar. The one with the least penalty points wins. You will be punished for hitting an obstacle, refusing to jump, exceeding the time limit, etc. The winner of the competition is the player who gets the least punishment, the fastest route or the highest score according to the type of competition.

The playing field must be closed. During the race, all entrances and exits must be closed when the horse is on the field.

Once the competition begins, participants are forbidden to enter on foot. Unless approved by the jury, they will be disqualified. (Article 2465438 +0.2.65438 +0)

Crossing the obstacle in the opposite direction will disqualify the competition (Article 2465438 +0.2.8).

First, matters needing attention:

During the competition, venue referees should pay attention to the following basic issues in their work:

Half an hour before the start of the competition, it is necessary to check whether the obstacle facilities in the competition venues are complete and correctly placed, such as:

Whether the starting point and the ending point are in place, whether the red and white flags are in place and whether they are firm;

Whether the position of obstacle number is correct;

Whether the height and width of each obstacle meet the route standard requirements of this competition;

Whether the obstacle bar is placed correctly and meets the requirements (see FEI obstacle rules for details)

Be sure to confirm whether the competition equipment in the venue is complete before the competition. For example:

Referee: walkie-talkie, OK card;

Referee of starting point and ending point: red and white signal flag;

Referee: sand mop, spare obstacle rack, obstacle bar, cup rack and height measuring ruler;

Personal logistics work is ready. (For example, one bottle of drinking water per person)

Before the start of the 10 competition, the venue judges need to clarify the venue position and jurisdiction of each referee again.

4. In the competition, all referees should strictly abide by the principle of venue safety.

1) Referee's own safety:

Be familiar with the race route and don't stand in a position that will affect the rider's passing. Avoid affecting the game!

The referee's eyes and attention should always follow the rider. Avoid being hit!

If the horse refuses to jump, the rider will fall off the horse, the obstacle will collapse, and so on. , should be handled calmly. Don't run too fast, lest you frighten the horse. You should approach the horse calmly and quickly to protect the rider!

When restoring obstacles, pay attention to the safety of the surrounding environment, and don't be accidentally injured by horses or other referees who put obstacles on the field.

2) passenger safety:

For a rider who obviously shows hidden dangers (such as an amateur with insufficient horse control ability), the venue referee has the right to prevent the rider from entering the competition or terminate the ongoing competition.

If the rider falls off the horse, he must come forward to help the rider stabilize the horse and get the rider out of danger.

If a rider is really injured, remember not to move casually, but to move the injured rider's body to avoid unnecessary harm to the injured. When the venue referee has an emergency, he will notify the event rescue department and wait for the medical staff to carry out professional first aid treatment on the spot.

3) Safety of horses:

Pay attention to every entrance and exit around the venue, keep the venue closed, and avoid the horses from escaping and being injured after being frightened.

Pay attention to clean up hard objects (big stones, nails, broken bricks, etc.). ) Keep horses safe in the sand at any time!

Pay attention to remind the surrounding audience not to disturb the horses.

If there are obvious hidden dangers (such as loose or damaged leather, etc.). ) In the saddle of the participating horses, the rider should be reminded to make necessary adjustment and replacement.

4) the safety of the audience:

Remind spectators to keep a safe distance from off-site horses at all times.

Keep an eye on the photographers around the venue. Don't go into unsafe areas to shoot.

★ Equestrian Rules of International Racecourse Equestrian Action Standard-Standing

1. When standing, the horse should stand intently, completely and motionless. The weight is evenly distributed on the limbs, and the front and rear limbs are paired together. The neck is raised, the back of the neck is high, and the horse's head is slightly in front of the vertical line to maintain the posture of' bit', and keep slight and soft contact with the rider's hand, quietly bite the bit, and be ready to act immediately according to the slightest instruction of the rider at any time.

2. Standing is to rely on the rider to moderately strengthen the operation of riding and feet, so that the weight of the horse moves to the hindquarters and drives the horse to move to the rider's soft and closed hands, thus stopping at the predetermined position almost instantaneously rather than suddenly. Standing must be accomplished through a series of half subtraction (reference shift).
