As we continue to use the 2010 test book, we are made aware of some minor changes that need to be made to improve the positive riding we would like to see.
The new test books have gone out and we would like to ensure that no-one is disadvantaged by any change made in the interests of better riding.
 
Kindly see that ALL  show holding bodies are made aware of the tests that have these changes.
 
If these particular tests are used the changes MUST be published in the schedule next to the test these changes  refer to.

Equitation movements-IMPORTANT REMINDER
On the SANEF web page for Equitation, there are the guidelines for the new 2010 tests.
 
 These guidelines contain the changes made to two of three of the new tests. If these particular tests are used, the changes have to be advertised on the schedule and shown next to the test .
Before the class commences the announcer must inform the riders, of these changes again, AS MANY TESTS BOOK HAVE ALREADY BEEN SOLD WITHOUT THESE CHANGES.
 
While it is beholden on the competitior to keep up to date; in the interests of good sportsmanship and fairness to all, do make sure that your show holding bodies understand the importance of this communication.
 
Kindly inform your Course Designer of the heights and distances that are stipulated for any of the gymnastic movements.
While the Course Designer has the authority to change distances and heights in the INTERESTS OF SAFETY after consultation with the senior judge; for the gymnastic that involves three bounces on a curve, the height for this movement MAY NOT exceed the height stipulated in the glossary.
 
Each province must ensure that their judges have up to date rule books and the new 2010 test book (with changes).
