We hope that everyone will have a good time at the Millbrook Horse
Trials. No other sport permits the spectator such an active role, but
one person in the wrong place can ruin months and years of hard
work for competitors, as well as place all parties in jeopardy of physical
injury. To ensure your safety and that of the competitors, and to
preserve the fairness of the competition, please familiarize yourself
with the guidelines:

HORSES HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. The horses and riders will be
moving at speed across country. Always look both ways before moving
and stay alert for warnings from officials. Stay behind marked barriers
and ropes and keep clear of the area around each cross-country
fence. Please observe the advice or directions of fence judges on the
cross-country course.

CHILDREN MUST BE WITH AN ADULT AT ALL TIMES. Children often
do not realize the danger that horses present.

DOGS MUST BE LEASHED. Absolutely no exceptions! Loose dogs are
a hazard to competing horses and will be impounded and the owners
fined $50. Noisy or disruptive dogs must be removed from the grounds.

AVOID UNAUTHORIZED ASSISTANCE TO COMPETITORS. Providing
assistance to a rider during competition, whether solicited or not, is
forbidden, under penalty of the competitor’s elimination. The only
exception to the no assistance rule is in the case of a fall. Officials or
spectators may catch a loose horse or aid a fallen rider to remount
and adjust saddlery. No one, however, may mount the horse except
the rider.

QUIET, PLEASE! Undue noises can cause distractions to horses and
riders and can affect the outcome of the competition or cause an
accident. Please hold your applause until after a competitor exits
the dressage arena, completes a cross-country fence, or finishes the
stadium course.

Please be considerate of the site and use trash receptacles. Portions
of the competition adjoin private property. We hope you will respect
the land and privacy of these generous neighbors.
While observing these precautions, please feel free to move about the
competition area in order to see as much as possible of the varied
activities. Do not hesitate to ask questions of volunteers and officials,
who will be happy to assist you.
