Enhanced medical and social media policies are among rule changes announced by British Eventing (BE) for 2020.
BE recommends event doctors have an up-to-date certificate in a recognised trauma course, and a paramedic is in attendance at events 30 minutes before the start of the dressage – both of which will be mandatory from 2021.
