Lexington, Ky. - Following careful consideration regarding the use of helmet cameras, the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) has updated protocol concerning the devices.
Effective immediately, please be advised of the following:
1. The USEF does not prohibit the use of helmet cameras.
2. A competition organizer may prohibit use of a helmet camera and the competitor must comply with such prohibition.
3. The decision to wear a camera while competing is voluntary and at the rider's own risk.
This policy is effective as of January 5, 2015 for all USEF competitions. It is advised that athletes consult with the helmet manufacturer before mounting a camera on a helmet. The USEF will continue to monitor information and research on helmet cameras as it becomes available.
Despite our best plans and organizational efforts, life with horses can very often mean we are cycling through Plans B through Z when we start the day with Plan A in mind. If your summer schedule includes your first horse trials or your hundredth, it’s always helpful to check-in with your own organization methods to stay prepared and ensure competition day runs as smoothly as possible.
