2021 is accompanied by changes to the jumping rules, veterinary regulations, FEI General Regulations, Equine Anti-Doping Regulations and controlled medicines, as well as the FEI`s list of substances prohibited by equidae. In the Annex. V and VI there are changes to the CSI invitation rules for CSI2* events and in the CSI requirements changes have been made to the maximum number of departers and accommodation requirements for brides and grooms at five-star events in Europe.

In addition, the use of veterinary wraps or similar dressings under the back boots is no longer allowed. The FEI has also established the rule for rowel spurs: spores with notched or serrated rotating discs are not allowed anywhere on the field of international jumping events, while spores with rotating discs that are not notched or serrated are allowed. Please note that on January 1, 2022, the BS Rules will change again. Here are the rules in effect so far.

Another rule for older horses includes the number of closures, the rear shoe must have no more than two fasteners with a minimum width of 2.5 cm each. In addition, there are specific rules for the different types of fasteners: originally, we had hoped to create a complete guide, but we quickly realized that it would have been a gigantic task to cover all makes and models of boots. For this reason, we will only cover the two brands we currently have in stock, namely Equick and Veredus. If you have any doubts about alternative brands, BS has asked people to contact us to check if your horse`s special boots are legal for the courses you want to attend. From 1 January 2021, the following rules will apply to back footwear. Velcro fasteners: – Each strap must: Have a Velcro or Velcro fastening system Have a minimum width of 2.5 cm if there are two straps or Have a minimum width of 5 cm if there is only one strap – For boots with a protective element only inside the fetus, the straps can be elastic or non-elastic – For double-shell boots, Belts must be elastic.
In addition to these back shoes, some are also allowed with additional protection for the paster, which extends under the rounded shell. The extension must be made of a flexible, flexible and flexible material. The material extended around the pasta is not taken into account when measuring the length of the boot.

If you`re competing in a class that`s not on the list, you can use any other type of basketball, except those that fall under Rule 14, which we`ll cover next. From 1 January 2021, only rear boots that meet the following descriptions can be used at all FEI international show jumping events: 2 – Boots that have only one protective element inside and outside and boots with a protective element inside and out, that is, double-shelled boots that wrap around the back of the fetus, are allowed provided that they meet the following criteria: BSJA has confirmed that the Veredus Pro Jump, both in the Velcro and elastic versions, and in the Mini version, does not fall under this rule and can be used in any BSJA class, with the exception of those listed in Rule 15. Similarly, Veredus Velcro Pro jump boots are not allowed due to size and weight restrictions in the rules.
