Compulsory frangibles and more flag rule changes proposed

Frangible devices will become compulsory on certain types of cross-country fences at top level eventing from next year, if the proposal is approved by national federations.

The first draft of the 2020 FEI rule proposals were released yesterday (8 July) and include more changes to the flag rule, as well as those on water jumps, dangerous riding and abuse among others.

The FEI eventing committee has approved the eventing risk management steering group’s recommendation that frangible devices in CCI4, CCI5 and championships be made compulsory on certain fence types from 2020 with the aim that this is extended to all levels from 2021.
