A maximum of 10 competitors will be allowed in the outdoor sand warm up and 2 in each of the indoor warm up arenas at any given time. No member of the public may attend the warm up spaces on foot. A collecting ring steward will call each competitor to the competition arenas at their allotted time. The competitor must enter the arena via the designated entrance as directed by the collecting ring steward. Competitors must head straight back to their lorries or stables after they have cooled off. They may not access any other arena or farm track after their test has finished.

Stables should be left in the condition in which they are found, i.e. clear of droppings and dry. Any stables which are not left in a suitable condition will incur a muck out fee which will be communicated and charged to the competitor upon inspection of vacated stables.
