FEI RIDER INFO

535.1 Identification Number
Upon arrival, each Horse is issued with an identification number, which must be worn at all times. It may be replaced by the draw number, which must then be worn until the end of the Competition.

All FEI horses have to have their identification number on the head collar and on the stable.

Failure to display either number incurs first a warning and, in the case of a repeated offence, a fine imposed on the Athlete by the Ground Jury.
