USEA Board of Governors Votes to Withdraw Rule Change Proposal Until 2015
Ft. Worth, Texas - The USEA Board of Governors met early this morning to review the proposed rule changes to USEF EV 149.6 and EV 149.7 and Appendix I and Appendix II, Cross-Country Obstacle Design Guidelines. The Board voted to withdraw the proposals and refer them to select USEA committees for further consideration.
The Board of Governors has received a great many emails and letters regarding the proposed rule changes and has taken very seriously the concerns and comments of the membership. While the Governors believe that amended rule changes are necessary in the interest of clarifying and improving the sport, they feel that it will be beneficial to take additional time to allow further input and review the proposals, and to communicate more clearly why changes are necessary.
The amended rule change proposals will be available on the USEA website for all members. The Governors will review and approve a final draft at the August 2015 Board meeting in Dulles, Virginia.
The current rules, EV 149.6 and EV149.7, can be found in the USEF Rules for Eventing and Appendices I and II may be found here on USEventing.com.
