THE FEI “HELMET RULE” AT A GLANCE
Starting 1 January 2013, the use of a properly fastened Protective Headgear will be mandatory while riding on the show grounds (article 140.1, General Regulations).
* This rule applies in all Disciplines
* “Protective Headgear” is defined as “appropriate helmet or Headgear that is in compliance with the applicable international testing standards” (Glossary, General Regulations).
* Failure to wear Protective Headgear where and when required after being notified to do so by an Official, shall result in a Yellow Warning Card, being issued to the Athlete.
In the field of play, the sports rules apply, and each Discipline has its own rule rules. See this page for details.
