and safety. Appropriate boots with a heel & helmets or cowboy hats
required. *Junior competitors MUST wear a proper fitting, approved
protective headgear, with safety harness correctly secured, at all times while
mounted on competition or event grounds.
Approved headgear meets the ASTM (American Society for Test Materials)
standards and displays the SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) seal. The British standard, BSI, is also
acceptable. This rule is binding on all
disciplines and breeds. However, in the
case of a conflict, discipline and breed rules supersede General Rules. Show management will allow new headgear rule
to apply without any judging penalty.
