Class Conditions for Regional Competitions Only one rider per horse. The course for each Maclay Regional Championship shall be designed by a USEF Course Designer who must be selected and/or approved by the National Horse Show Association. The course for each Maclay Regional Championship should be of sufficient difficulty, typifying the Maclay National Championship Finals and thereby reflecting the importance of the class. While the courses must not be identical, they should reflect equal difficulty and challenge. The course must be 3 6 with or without wings and include at least one change of lead, a combination including an oxer and 1/3 of the obstacles must be oxers. In addition, all courses must include at least three of the following: a. bending line b. narrow jump (6-8 ) c. roll-back turn d. end fence e. long approach to a single jump. A Regional competition must have at minimum 6 competitors for the class to be held. A rider in any Regional competition must complete the course to be eligible for acceptance to the National Finals. Two refusals will eliminate a rider from Regional competition. A minimum of ten (10) more riders than one-half the number of riders competing in the Regional (not more than twenty (20) at a time), if available, are required to show at a walk, trot and canter. In addition, at the sole discretion of the judges, additional flat work may be called for, but all groups must be asked to perform the same tests. After the under saddle phase, if additional workouts are required, the call-back must be limited to only the best ten (10) riders if available. Riders are to be judged on seat, hands, guidance and control of horse. The under saddle performance of those riders selected to show under saddle shall count 50%. Judging Conditions Each Maclay Regional Championship shall have two (2) Judges who must be approved by the National Horse Show. A Maclay Regional Championship s Judge is not eligible to judge the Maclay National Championship Final in the same year. The Judges will select a Champion, Reserve Champion, and Third through Tenth places at each Maclay Regional Championship. Judges will also determine a stand-by list of the additional entrants in order of placing. The list will be announced publicly, made available to all competitors at the conclusion of the Regional Final, and sent to the National Horse Show Association office. Judges cards will be sealed immediately upon selection by judges of the Maclay National Finalists and, along with a detailed copy of the course diagram, will be turned over to the official representative of the National Horse Show Association in attendance, or mailed directly to the National Horse Show Association office. Selection of Riders for Maclay Finals The riders finishing in the top positions, apportioned by the Regional Finals, will qualify to compete at the National Finals. Riders who do not finish in the top positions, apportioned by the Regional Finals, may qualify to compete at the National Finals provided they competed in the Regional Finals and placed in the top ten at the USEF Medal Final, Pennsylvania National Horse Show; the top ten at the WIHS Equitation Classic, Washington International Horse Show and the top four juniors placing in the top ten at the USET Talent Search Medal Final West and USET Talent Search Medal Final East. In the interest of fairness, the number of final positions as announced by the National Horse Show in its Prize List will be proportionally allocated strictly in accordance with the number of entries that actually show in each Regional final. The National Horse Show Association will calculate the proportional numbers, by region, and publish them, no later than 48 hours after the last Regional Final is held. If a qualified rider declines to compete in the finals, the rider with the next highest placing will receive an invitation to compete and said invitation will be provided to the next highest placing riders until the invitation is accepted and the spot filled. However, after the first qualified rider declines to compete in the finals, there shall only be one invitation provided for every ten competitors from a regional. Example: if Region Q has 38 riders competing, then the invitation to compete at the national finals shall be provided to all those determined by the percentage formula and if any one of them declines, there shall be no more than two additional invitations provided in order to fill the spot which has been declined. Subsequent to one invitation being provided for every ten riders in the region, the invitation shall then go to the next rider from the regional which has the highest percentage of competitors. The final closing for entries will be 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the first Friday of October, at the office of the National Horse Show, under such conditions as are specified in the prize list. The standby list for accepting Maclay Finalists will close on the Sunday of the WIHS which is the Sunday before the Finals. Schooling Area Protocol for Regionals and Finals Official schooling area will be set one hour before the start of the competition. Schooling fences will be set as a straight line of oxers across the middle of the official schooling area. Each jump will have at least four standards, four rails and four cups. Each jump must be flagged. Each jump may be set as an oxer. Each jump may be set as a vertical. Each jump may be set as a combination (Bounce, One Stride or Two Strides) Tarps (vinyl panels) and coolers are to be allowed.

If they are used on the ground in front of or behind the jump they must be set on the ground a minimum of 9 feet and a maximum of 21 feet from the jump in either direction.

The FEI will NOT insure: National officials officiating at FEI Events; and/or FEI Officials, who have no official function at the Event. The insurance extended is for any liability that the FEI Official incurs to a third party, and for the costs of defending any such claim arising as a result of actions undertaken by the FEI Official in good faith (including errors and omissions) on behalf of the FEI. However, the insurance for obvious reasons does not extend to any liabilities incurred as a result of an FEI Official s dishonest, fraudulent, malicious, and/or illegal act. Should an FEI Official become aware of an incident that he or she believes might result in a claim, that FEI Official should notify the FEI immediately and provide all of the facts known to the FEI Official.
