While guidelines have been in place since 2011, from 1 July 2018, new Stallion Rules will be implemented*. It will be compulsory for stallions at EA sanctioned events to wear compliant green number holders on both sides of the horse’s bridle or breastplate, or halter discs on both sides of the horse’s halter or alternatively compliant green number holders on both sides of the saddle cloth, at all times.
Improving stallion visibility will help protect the well-being of those around them.
