Equestrian Draft:Introduction

General introduction

These rules are designed to promote safe equestrian activities within Lochac. However, no matter how clear or accurate, rules cannot replace common sense, good judgement, and concern for the participants and equines. If a question arises when applying these standards, choose the answer that promotes the greatest degree of safety for all.

Hierachy of rules

1. These are the rules for equestrian activities within Lochac.
2. These rules meet the minimum requirements of Society rules for equestrian activities, but because Lochac operates within two separates mundane legal and insurance environments, these rules may be more restrictive than Society rules, and not allow activities that are permitted at Society-level. Just because it is in the Society Equestrian rules, that does not necessarily mean that it is allowed within Lochac.
3. Changes to Society equestrian rules will not immediately change Lochac's rules for equestrian activities, unless those changes are accepted by the Board of SCA Ltd Australia and Committee of SCANZ Inc. The exception to this would be for immediate restrictions on activities due to identified safety issues.
