Remember to hold your applause until after a competitor exits the dressage arena, completes a cross- country fence, or finishes their stadium course. Observe the crowd control markers. You must stay at least 15 meters away from the dressage arenas. For your own safety and that of the riders, stay behind marked barriers and ropes and keep clear of the area around each cross country fence. Crossing the cross country course is permitted, but always make sure that a horse is not coming.
Horses always have the right of way .
Horses and riders are participating in a very demanding sport and will be moving at high speeds across country. A rider is not responsible for avoiding collisions with spectators. It is your responsibility to stay out of the way of horse and rider. Always look both ways before moving and stay alert for directions from mounted stewards, fence stewards and fence judges. Be still when in the line of sight of an approaching horse.
