#A parent or legal guardian must be immediately available to the Equestrian Marshal in Charge when a minor is engaged in equestrian activities, including serving as ground crew.<br />
#A parent or legal guardian must attend the authorisation process and execute a waiver authorising a minor to participate in equestrian activities. The parent or legal guardian must also sign the authorisation form.<br />
#Minors must wear appropriate footwear (closed toed, and heeled if using stirrups) and approved equestrian riding helmets fitted according to the manufacturer's directions while mounted or driving.<br />
<br />
==Maximum term==<br />
No authorisation may be for a period greater than 4 years.<br />
<br />
==Out of Kingdom Authorisations==<br />
#Valid authorisation cards from other kingdoms shall be accepted as proof of authorisation. To renew in Lochac, the candidate must complete a Lochac authorisation.<br />
# Authorisations shall not be issued to persons residing in other kingdoms.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Rider/Driver responsibility==<br />
#In order to participate in equestrian activities, each equestrian must accept responsibility for the following:<br />
##Taking reasonable and prudent steps to ensure the well being of any equines over which they have control.<br />
##Determining if a mount is suitable for their intended activities and riding/driving ability. They should consult the owner of, or person familiar with, any equine that they are not already familiar with prior to mounting/driving.<br />
##Determining if tack or equipment is suitable for their intended activities and riding/driving ability.<br />
##Limiting their participation to those activities in which they can maintain control of their equine.<br />
##Exercising discretion when engaging in equestrian activities, recognising a need to avoid situations that create dangerous conditions. This includes maintaining an appropriate safety zone around the equine.<br />
##Following the instructions of any equestrian marshals, in particular the instructions of the Equestrian Marshal in Charge.<br />
#Failure to fulfil the above responsibilities may result in suspension of the rider's or driver's privilege to participate in equestrian activities for the duration of the event, or suspension or removal of their authorisation.<br />
#Special attention should be paid to appearance and the atmosphere of a medieval event should be maintained. Authorised riders and marshals should disguise or cover modern gear as much as feasible and safety allows. Riders are expected to follow Society policy of wearing at least an attempt at pre-17th century clothing. An attempt at pre-17th century horse trappings or barding is expected (example: A simple squared cloth of period appearance covering the saddle pad). <br />
