The FEI judge general has proposed the rule is reworded
THE “patting” rule that caused recent controversy after a rider was eliminated at an international dressage show has been amended in proposed 2018 FEI rules.
Australian rider Tristan Tucker patted his ride Jewels Sir Weibach behind the saddle and on his withers to relax him during an inter I level test at Uggerhalne CDI3* in Denmark in June.
At the end of his test, German judge Gotthilf Riexinger informed Tristan he had been eliminated for taking his hand off the rein.
The wording of the current rule — which states riding with both hands “is obligatory” — is open to interpretation, both about what it means and what the penalty should be.
FEI judge general Stephen Clarke has proposed a significant clarification to the wording.

I’ve hunted all my life. Growing up, I hunted with the Cotswold and VWH and I’m lucky to have been out with lots of packs, from the Teme Valley in Wales where I learnt the name of almost every hound, to days out with the Beaufort with a field of 200-plus. My greatest moments have been following my best friends over Ledbury hedges. Eventually, I focused on eventing – I did juniors and under-21s. Then I got a four-year-old, Bertie, and took him up to what would be four-star today.
