These rules can be found in Section B of the Eventing Rules (Rule 33). Rule 33 (6-12) relates to the 3 Rally Rule which will be strictly applied. It is helpful to keep a record of the rallies you attend so, if asked, you can provide this information. In addition please see Rule 34 which sets out who qualifies at Area for the Championships and the Regionals.

Eventing rallies are held every month and if you wish to be selected for a team, it is important that you (horse and rider combination) attend some of the xc rallies so you can be considered.
