Hello everyone, my name is Quicko, and I’m in charge of regulations.

Rules might not sound exciting at first glance, but let me tell you a secret: they are the invisible framework that keeps our sport fair, safe, and meaningful. Riding a horse is not just about skill, balance, and passion; it’s also about respecting the boundaries that ensure every competitor plays on equal ground.

Knowing the rules, understanding them, and interpreting them correctly is just as important as training in the arena. Because when everyone behaves in the right, fair, and sporting way, our sport becomes not only a competition, but a true expression of loyalty and respect between riders, horses, and the entire equestrian community. And here is where the stewards come in. According to the FEI, their role is essential:

They ensure that all FEI Jumping Rules, General Regulations, and related provisions are respected throughout the event. They safeguard horse welfare, intervening if they see dangerous behavior or practices harmful to the animal. They monitor the schooling areas, stables, restricted zones, and official courses to make sure everything follows FEI standards of safety and organization. They collaborate with the Organizing Committee, the Ground Jury President, the Technical Delegate, and the Competition Veterinarian to report and act on any rule violation. They also provide training, orientation, and guidance to their assistant stewards, ensuring that every team member knows exactly what to do.

But beyond these official duties, stewards are also guides and allies for riders. They are there to explain, to clarify, and to support. Of course, they must also be ready to step in firmly if someone tries to bend or break the rules. In this way, they are both protectors of the sport and valuable partners for those who want to compete fairly.

 

At eQuick, we take this responsibility very seriously.

Every product we design is born from a deep study of the regulations.

Nothing is left to chance: before reaching your hands, each product undergoes careful checks, inspections, and approvals to make sure it fully respects the rules of the sport. Only then does it find its way into the market, ready to protect your horse, support your performance, and let you compete with confidence.

​

So remember:

Mastering your ride is important, but mastering the rules is essential!

With knowledge, fairness, the right equipment, and stewards to guide and safeguard the sport, we

can all ride responsibly and keep the spirit of equestrian competition alive and strong.
