avoid and prevent accidents occurring, and must obey the rules.
The owners of Fair Oak reserve the right to cancel all or any part of this event including at short notice if
in their opinion the weather is or has affected the going of the course to such an extent that excessive
damage may occur to the ground or that the conditions represent an unacceptable level of danger for riders

Such cancellation can take place without any liability for loss or damages from any participants of the event
against the owners of Fair Oak.

If eliminated for a first time during the cross country, competitors may complete the course, but must make way for any
following horse and the rider must obey any instructions or orders from the officials. If the competitor has
a second elimination they may in the safety interests of other participants be asked to stop and must return to
their vehicles at a walk, no refund will be made in this instance.
The Organisers and the owners of Fair Oak reserve the right to refuse any entry without giving a reason.

PROCEDURE FOR CLEAR ROUND.
We will be running the various classes as per the time schedule, please note that the Novice and Open Classes go at the same time.
To enter purchase a ticket at £20 per round from the Secretaries tent, go down to the starter and have the number of the cloakroom ticket put up on the board. You must also sign a disclaimer notice at the Secretaries tent.
The starter will as far as possible go in order of this board, please make sure that you allow time for a tack check before your number is called.
If eliminated during the cross country, competitors may complete the course, but must make way for any following horse and the rider must obey any instructions or orders from the officials. It is possible that you will be asked to go to the next fence if you fail at a fence, in order to avoid a log jam and to comply with our Health and Safety rules, you must obey this instruction.
If the competitor has a second elimination they may in the interests of safety for other participants and spectators be asked to stop and must return to their vehicles at a walk.
If you catch up with a horse in front you must only overtake between fences after clearly indicating to the rider in front and having had an acknowledgement back that you wish to overtake. Under no circumstances can you jump a fence at the same time or very close to another rider.
No unnumbered fences can be jumped under any circumstances, you will be immediately asked to leave the course if you do.
After completing your round and if you go clear then you can return to the starter for a Rosette.
If you wish to go round again you may do so provided your horse is fit enough, you will need to purchase another ticket from the Secretaries Tent.
