THE VIEW FROM THE
PRESIDENT'S DESK
AVA's membership continues to|
grow^Our latestreport shows we have,;
58 groups and 1055 individual mem-!
bers. Coaches and parents, thanks forl
the hard work, and keep bringing inf
new people.
The National Championships in Al-|
buquerque, New Mexico, last rnont
had over 200 entries, and that is a giantj
success for our first time holding thisj
event outside Callfojnia. Congratula-j
tions to all the participants and a bigl
hand of gratitude to the organizers:!
In credible amountsof work andtimeis|
involved with managing and staging such an event.
This summer, my family and I again hosted visiting
Vaulters. Through-out the years, I've had as guests in my
home, vaulters from all over the nation and worId.Prom
Virginians, Oregonians, Canadians, French, Brazilians,
Germans, Dutch and Austrians—-the list goes on My
children and I have always found it a rewarding experience to meet these neW people and share our culture and
way of living as well as making new friends. It is also a
way to keep up enthusiasm in my local club. Not only are
vaulting techniques shared but a deeper understanding of
the world and its many different faces emerges. The
personality of our sport, with its combination of equestrian skillsand gymnasticSr helps imprint into theminds of
the young athlete friendships and camaraderie. Sharing
these rewarding facets with guests or hosts makes exchanges a lasting experience. If the opportunity arises for
any of you tohostor participate in an exchange, definitely
consider it.
The AVAisrunningvery well andis in agood financial
position. The National Office with our very efficient
Executive Secretary and new computer equipment works
like a clock. Our fiscal year ends September 30th, Remember all allocationsbudgetedforl991mustbeciaimed
before then .Resource people, regional supervisors, committee chairmen send your Payment Authorizations and
receipts into the AVA National Office,
Financial projections for next year indicate that the
AVA will be able to start a more aggressive outreach
program.'Withihe Board's approval I'm going to recommend that die AVA encourage and financially support
more clinics and workshops outside California. I also
hope we can double the amount available for Regional
Grants. It's time for the AVA to actively help the judges'
training programs and to provide scholarships, grants,
trainees and travel expenses fox clinicians.
Vaulters stay streecfied and remember your warm-up
time. Bye for now and plan ahfcad to attend the 1992
annual meeting in "Reno at the end of January.

The Dilemma of Judging—A German View
Thoughts of a
German Vaulting Judge
Ulrike Rieder(FEl-O) (Translated from the
German by Hermann
Friedlaender)
In addition to
being a top ranked
German and International Vaulting
Judge, Fran Rieder
is also author of a
newly published
bookaboutvaulting.FrauRiederwill serve
as instructor at the AVA's International
VaultingCampAugust9'16inWatsonvilie,
California, and is also FBI Technical
Delegate and member of the Ground Jury
for CVl Santa Cruz, August 18,1991.
Regrettably, the time has passed, even
in the sport of vaulting, when judges and
competitors can converse in a relaxed,
friendly way. National as well as international competitions have become more intense, especially where selection trials and
championships are concerned. Trainers,
vaulters and parents critically analyze each
score.This is their right and is certainly
understandable.
Unfortunately, when a judge's decision is being evaluated, often emotions and
excessive ambition enter the picture. "Experts" among the public consider themselves competent to evaluate performances
and do not hold back in expressing their
opinions—by whistling or applauding during competitions!
Naturally, since the judge is in the spotlight he must be able to accept criticism.
However, he is infrequently given a chance
to justify his decisions. I would like to
present some aspects of thejudge'spointof
view which are rarely taken into account. I
hope that this will result in a better understanding of how difficult is the vaulting
judge's task.
Vaulters and coaches, before you criticize, consider the following:
* In competition vaulting critical, qualified and experienced judges are needed. A
judge's love and enthusiasm for vaulting is
his main motivation in offering his services
for this honorary, often unpaid responsibility. If competitors, coaches and parents
Vaulting World
constantly criticise and bicker, the judge
may become unsureof himself and eventually even the best judges will get fed up and
quit.
• Judges do their work on a volunteer
basis devoting an enormous amount of
their spare time, aside from family and
career responsibilities. Often they have to
travel long distances and work on weekends. It's not only the vaulters who work
hard, but also the judges.
Each judge has a unique personality.
Vaulting judges come from varied professions and backgrounds with different education and experience. This, naturally, leads
to different points of view.
• Judges must continually work, in their
spare time, to improve their knowledge.
Theymustpossessgreatexpertiseandmust
judge at regular intervals to keep current.
A judge must remain at his post even in
tremendous heat or icy cold conditions,
often hour after hour, exercising intense
concentration. A vaulter's performance
takes, at most, only 15 minutes.
• Three judges see more than one and
each views the vaulter from a different
angle.
• Itisphysicallyimpossibleforone judge
to see everything, for example exercises
performed on the outside of the horse.
• The final verdict represents the average of three judges and therefore almost
always is fair.
There is a huge difference between
sitting at a judge's table, considering and
weighing each canter stride, each mistake,
and degree of difficulty—and being a spectator who does not generally evaluate a
competition hour after hour with a judge's
concentration.
• A vaulter, naturally, has a one-sided
point of view, being most concerned with
himself and his own performance. He does
not see all of Ihe other contestants with the
sameconcentration as the judge. The judge,
on the other hand, must evaluate and rank
all the competitors.
The vaultercannotevensee himself. His
personal judgement of his performance is
based solely on afeeling, or the description
of an onlooker.
• Every judge has his own, personal ideal
for the different vaulting exercises and will
give high scores to those movements which
best approach his ideal. This is naturally a
subjective judgement, even though shaped
by education and guidelines. Basically the
picture each judge has in his own mind of
how each of the various movements should
look is influenced by his personal experience and education.
A judge does not intentionally score
you lower because he "does not like you."
The reason is likely to be that your style,
execution or interpretation is less like his
ideal than those of your competitors.
The judge who gives you the lowest
scores may rank you exactly the same as his
colleagues. Look at the placings before
looking at the scores!
Scores for individual compulsories may
be deceiving. In the following example the
final score makes it look like the judges
were in full agreement, but the individual
scores show wide variation:
Judge A : 7 4 6 4 8 4 Total=33
Judge B:4 7 5 6 3 8 Total=33
In yet another example, although the
individual scores are only .5 off, the totals
are quite different:
Judge A: 5 6 9 8 7 8 Total=43
Judge B:5.5 6.5 9,5 8.5 7.5 8.5Total=46
The fact that a judge speaks with one
competitor a few minutes longer than with
another does not necessarily indicate partiality. Judges enjoy personal contact with
the participants. It is wrong "to see a wolf
behind every tree."
Should you have a problem with one of
the judges, you certainly are at liberty to
discuss it with him in a polite, fair manner.
But don't expect him to remember all the
details of your performance after he has
judged for many hours!
Remember that even the best judges
will lose their enthusiasm if they constantly
are being harassed. The less courageous
judge, who scores mainly in the middle
range will not be attacked or accused as
much and will last longer. But do vaulters
really want such a development?
Vaulters are the backbone of the sport,

Judging—Accountability and Helping the Competitor
The U.S. Standard—Written Comments Enforce Accountability

Technical Advisor,
will serve as
President of the
Ground Jury at CVI
Santa Cruz.
Judges' Role is to Guide the Sport—
In sports which are judged subjectively, the
most important role of the judge is as a
guide for the sport. It is the judges' approval, disapproval, or rewarding of the
competitors and coaches that sets the direction of the sport.
How to Decrease "Politics" in Judging—Politics and personal preference are
constant companions in subjectively judged
sports. One of the ways to decrease "politics" is for the judges to "put their necks
out". This is best enforced by requiring the
judges to justify their marks by giving
remarks (or justifications) on the score
Rieder, continued from page 4
and also have a big influence on the future
of the sport. The judges have the demanding task of taking responsibility for the
future development of the sport. The
vaulters themselves (and the coaches who
influence them) must also take responsibility for the important part they play in the
future developmentof the sport, and should
takea mature and responsible view of competition results which transcends their
pleasure or disappointment in how they
were personally placed in a given situation.
Unwarranted criticism encourages
"harmless" judging which serves neither
the sport nor the competitors.
The judge himself does not know the
end result, nor does he have the time to
figure it out during the competition. He will
certainly not intentionally place you lower
than your competitor or arbitrarily give
preference to someoneelse, especially when
he has to judge 30 or more vaulters. Rarely
is he such a genius with figures!
In team vaulting the judge must give 52
scores, even splitting them into tenths of a
point—this means 960 choices! He has
only seconds to make decisions while
Vaulting World
sheet. In fact, the only way that marks can
be justified is by giving comments about
each movement or exercise. Luckily, this is
also the way that competitors are provided
with the best opportunity to learn within
the competitive context.
Written Comments are the Best
Context—Thus comments written by the
judge on the score sheets provide the best
context both for accountability and for
helping the competitors.
European Judges' Differing View—
I have always been amused (perhaps more
bemused) by the fact that the communication between the European competitors and
the European judges is so minimal. The
judges are eager to be helpful and the
competitors are eager to be educated, but a
context simply doesn'texist. The competitors must talk to the judges personally to
find out any scrap of information, and often
that is not possible. Sometimes (understandably) the judge does not remember
the details of the performance of an individual competitor. Frequently the judge,
for logistical reasons, is simply unavailable.
One of the major mandates to American judges is, "Give remarks—many and
specific".
Expert Judging with no Communication Can Lead Sport Astray—In the
related discipline of dressage, the lack of
commentary,(which lack, in vaulting judging, is nearly universal outside of the United
States) would be reason to write off a judge
as "useless" (even if not necessarily bad).
The sport of vaulting (like the sport of
dressage), at the international level, is rife
with judges who may be experts and can
make the right placing, but who are of little
use to the competitors, the coaches, or the
sport, because they do not makecomments.
They can easily and unintentionally lead
the competitors and/or the sport astray.
keeping his eyes on the vaulters, horse and
longeur.
the middle section of the range of scores
appears to have a lower risk of making
mistakes. Most competitions like him best
because he does not stand out and his
scoring hurts nobody. Usually, however,
judges who score high arc preferred, even
though they may do so because they are not
as well trained in seeing and recognizing
faults.
The majority is not necessarily always
right! Just because two judges scores are
close does not mean that the third judge
whose scores are quite different is wrong or
less competent!
• The more experienced and knowledgeable a judge is the better he is at spotting
mistakes. Thus he will score correspondingly higher or lower.
A judge who scores you severely probably saw more deviations from the ideal
form than the other judges.
• A good judge will not only recognize
faults, but also see and reward the positive.
He will use the whole scale from 1 to 10,
and not get stuck between only 5 to 7.
• It is critical to take into account the
relationship of the scores of the different
judges. A judge who uses the entire 0 to 10
scale will not fit into the relationship if the
two other judges use a smaller range of
scores.
At first glance the judge who uses only
Continued on page 6
A final thought—there will never be a
perfect judge. All judges have good and
bad days and overlook or overvalue something. Judging is an individual and subjective task. Being human, judges sometimes
succumb to external influences. But thus
far we have not found any other way to
evaluate creative sports like vaulting, so
we must of necessity use people with their
good points as well as their weaknesses.
We must realize that judges will sometimes make mistakes and that their ideas
and concepts will differ.
Last but not least, remember that a
judge isa sensitive human being who needs
to be treated courteously and fairly and
who desires, at least occasionally, to feel
approval and to experience success.

Judges' Mandate to write Remarks
Contributes to Success of U.S. Vaulters—Appreciation for the American
judges' mandate to give commentary is
widespread. European vaulters simply do
not have the opportunities for education
that are available to every competitive
American vaulter at every competition.
That is no doubt the reason why the success
rate of such a relatively tiny U.S. corps of
competitive vaulters is frequently surprisingly high.
It Takes Courage to Write Down Why—
Of course it is safer for a judge not to give
comments—it is much more difficult to
argue with a number (for which many rationalizations subsequently can be invented), whereas it is reasonably easy to
take objection to an inappropriate remark
written on a score sheet. It takes a brave
judge to write down why he docs not give a
higher mark—his reason is arguable, and
the judge may have to defend himself. That
is as it should be—that is the accountability
that forces judges to improve themselves,
and to keep to the "straight and narrow".
It takes an industrious, competent, welltrained, and hard working judge to give
written comments. Numbers can be flung
about by anyone.
Coach Charged With Interpreting
Judging Code Comments for Vaulter—
It is, of course, difficult enough to understand exactly what the judge means when
he gives the remarkFT [Feet]. It could mean
sickled or slack ankles or rotation outward
or not arched. Other remarks have their
specificity built in—LF [Legs Forward],
AB [ArchedBack], and HH2/h [Hit Horse
2nd half] for example. Others are somewhat more general—MX [Mechanics], SX
[Stretch], P [Posture], SK [Security], etc.
[Ed.Nole: See AVA Rule Book, page 55 for
complete Judging Code.}
It is not the judge's task to baby-sit or
to coach. The coach is the one who must be
able to look at the remark and to determine
and communicate to the vaulter which aspect is faulty (if he hasn't been saying so all
along anyway!). The coach or the vaulter is
also always welcome to ask the judge what
the comment means, or to which specific
aspect it refers, if the logistics of the situation allow.
The European Judges' Objection—It is
appalling that many International judges
admit that they cannot(orcan'tbe bothered
to) cope with the complications and effort
required to give written comments on score
sheets. It is even more appalling to hear a
few of them say that comments are not
necessary, as well as being too much trouble.
All American judges are required to train
themselves and demonstrate competence
in giving written comments, else they simply will not advance in the judging hierarchy.
Why U.S. Requirements are High—My
experience with the politics and problems
of training and advancement of dressage
judges, both nationally and internationally,
is the main reason that the US judging
training programs and expectations have
been set so high, and why the advancement
requirements are so stringent. There must
be no room for politics, and there must be
every expectation and requirement for accountability.
Vaulters Must Take AH Available Opportunities to Learn—Competitors should
take whatever opportunities are available
to educate themselves. This is especially
true for Americans competing abroad, who
will get none of the information and enlightenment they are accustomed to receiving as a matter of course from the most
junior judge at the smallest American
competition. In Europe, because the judges
give no guidance through written commentary, the competitors and coaches
should always feel free to ask to speak to
the judges and to ask for specific justification or explanation of the scores and
placings (in the politest possible terms—
out of interest, not pique!). It is not unreasonable to expect international judges to
function at the level of the most junior of
American judges, even if the competitors
and coaches have to stir things a bit to
generate a similar level of function.
The competitors should make it intel/ecma//y hard for the judges, and the judges
should make it easy and enlightening for
the competitors.

So You Want to Compete Abroad?
AHSA Offers Guidelines to Vaulters
and other Equestrian Competitors
From a letter by AHSA President Jane Forbes Clarke
Certain requirements and protocols must
be understood and met in connection with
competing in international equestrian competition. In addition competitors must be prepared to meet their own travel and other
expenses.
All competitors must have qualified in
accordance with the "Criteria for Permission
to Compete Abroad" for their discipline, and
submitted written proof of compliance. The
official "Application for International Competition" must be completed hi full and accompanied by the "Biographical Profile"
form. (Available from theAVA National Office)
Invitations for FBI recognized competitions (Le. CVTs, CVA's, CVIO's) are received by the AHSA throughout the year,
copies of which are on file with the USET. If
a qualified competitor requests permission to
compete at a competition for which this
Federation has not received an invitation, an
invitation will be requested on your behalf.
If more vaulters want to compete at a
specific competition than there are invitations, a selection process will be necessary.
Riders will be notified if a selection will be
necessary for a specific competition.
A list of FEIRecognized Vaulting Events
is included in the Calendar a/Vaulting Events
on the back cover of Vaulting World magazine. Entry procedures are as follows:
1. Entries in Principle—a deadline two
months in advance of the competition by
which the invitation must be accepted.
2. Nominated Entries—adeadlineonemonth
in advance of the competition by which all
nominated horses/riders must be given to the
organizers. This list may include double the
horses and riders for which the invitation is
issued.
3. Definite Entries—a deadline two weeks in
advance of the competition when notice must
be given to the show of which horses/riders
will be competing.
If you wish to compete at a specific competition, notification must be received by the
AHSA in writing before the deadline for the
entries in principle (two months before the
competition).
It is extremely important that you carefully review your competition plans, as once
an entry (principle, nominated, and/or definite) has been made on your behalf, you will
be expected to honor that commitment Failure to participate after accepting an invitation
in writing (unless the vaulter can establish
that non participation was justified by documented illness or injury to rider and/or horse)
or the violation of rules, protocols or procedure may result in disciplinary action, including charges and disciplinary proceedings
before the FEI or before the AHSA Hearing
Committee. Riders will be required to pay all
fines, including fines imposed by the FEI on
the AHSA or USET for failure to participate,
and will be responsible for all penalties resulting from theh actions. Entries will not be
made until all necessary applications have
been completed, signed and returned to the
AHSA.

International and AHSA Update
AHSA Offers Guidelines on Status and Eligibility of
Competitors Entering International Equestrian Events
Advice for Riders
and Sponsors
Courtesy of AHSA Vaulting Committee
Introduction
Questions often arise concerning the eligibility
of riders to compete as "amateurs" in international
equestrian events under rules of the Federation
Equestre International (FEE) and the International
Olympic Committee (IOC). These rules no longer
use the term "amateur" but reflect the concept of
eligibility as a non-professional "competitor" or as
a "professional." To clarify the factors affecting
eligibility, especially as it may be affected by sponsorship arrangements, these guidelines have been
prepared by the American Horse Shows Association, Inc. (AHSA) to assist in the interpretation of
these rules. The AHSA, as the National Federation
(NF), is responsible to the FEI for thecornplianceof
U.S. competitors with FEI rules. The FEI, however,
has ultimate responsibility for the interpretation of
its rules, and itis the FEI rules, not these guidelines,
which will govern the outcome of any dispute or
controversy.
A. Eligibility to Compete Under FEI Rules
Riders should be aware of the FEI eligibility
rules and the events open to "competitors" only and
not to "professionals".
1. Licenses (FEI Articles 134, 135) When a
person participates in international events held
under FEI Regulations, the question of status
must be confirmed by the AHSA before the
person is allowed to compete. Some individuals
will require a "professional license" under FEI
Article 135; all other individuals will require a
"competitors' license" under FEI Article 134.
(See also AHSA Rule VTH, Article 807.)
2. Professional Activities (FEI Article 135)
Aperson is considered to be a "professional"
if he/she
a. trains or instructs other competitors and/
or horses for international competitions
without approval of his NF, or
b. is officially recognized by his/her NF and
issued a certificate as a professional trainer
or instructor of international competitors
without approval of his/her NF, or
c. enters into any form of personal sponsorship agreement or advertising contract without approval of his/her NF.
3. Reclassification (FEI Article 136)
Any person having a "professional license"
may apply to be re-classified under FEI rules,
subject to approval by the AHSA and the FEI. A
person who has applied for re-classification
mustcontinue to compete as aprofessional until
a new license is received. Such a re-classification from "professional" to "competitor" is
granted only once in a person's life, and if the
person again becomes a professional after re-
Vaulting World
classification, the person must remain as a
professional for the rest of his/her career.
4. Events Not Open to Professionals (FEI
Articles 137, 140)
Under the FEI General Regulations effective July 23, 1990, professionals may not
enter the following competitions:
a. Olympic and Regional Games under
the patronage of the IOC
b. CDIOs and Senior Dressage Championships
c. Events and Championships for Young
Riders
d. CVsandVaultingChampionshipsother
than the Longeur
e. Competitions for Students and Rural
Riders
B. Sponsorship/Advertising Agreements (FEI
Articles 138,139)
Sponsorship agreements are increasingly
sought by riders and by enterprises which perceive a benefit from association with riders. To a
great extent, the terms of these arrangements are
individualized depending on how a sponsor is
willing to support arider's efforts and the service
the rider provides to the sponsor. All sponsorship
arrangements, however must be considered in
light of their potential to affect a rider's eligibility
to compete under IOC and FEI rules. A sponsorship arrangement notprepared in accordance with
IOC and FEI rule requirements may cause a rider
to become a professional. (Note: the AHSA Rules
have no specific provisions regarding sponsorships, but riders should carefully review AHSA
Rule Vm, Article 808, particularly paragraph (d)
if retaining amateur status under AHSA rules is
desired.)
1. Professionals—Persons holding a professional license may enter into any form of
agreement directly with sponsors, owners and
employers and may receive payments directly
from these sources. Such agreements, however, may not provide for carrying any form of
advertising not allowed under FEI Article 139.
2. Competitors—(Non-professionals). Persons not holding a professional license may
enter into sponsorship agreements as well,
provided certain conditions are observed. The
following sections describe these conditions
and the procedures adopted by the AHSA to
comply with them.
I. Entering into a Sponsorsbip/Adyertising
Agreement by Competitors (NonProfessionals)
a. The AHSA does not find sponsors or formulate sponsorship arrangements: all terms of
an agreement must be negotiated and finalized
between the rider (and/or his/her agent) and
the potential sponsor before the AHSA will
become formally involved. Additionally, the
AHSA assumes no responsibility if a sponsor
or rider fails to comply with the terms of a
sponsorship agreement. It is the sole responsibility of the rider (or agent) and the sponsor to
enforce payment or performance under an
agreement. However, competitors considering
sponsorship and potential sponsors are encouraged to consult the AHSA for advice and interpretation of applicable rules and regulations.
b. Once arrangements in principle for a sponsorship have been reached, it must be determined whether a "Sponsorship Agreement"
signed by the AHSA is necessary. An FEI
guideline indicates that the AHSA should be
involved where the context of a sponsorship/
advertising agreement "affects in any way either [the rider's] personal participation or that
of his/her NF in international competition." In
most cases, the determining factor is whether
the sponsor is entitled to receive some public,
commercial benefit from the rider, (such as use
of the rider's name or picture in advertising) in
return for sponsorship support In situations
where the sponsorship is in the nature of a gift,
i,e. support with NO strings attached, and no
commercial advertising, there is usually no
need fora"Sponsors hip Agreement" signed by
the AHSA. (The rider and sponsor may wish to
have a written agreement in any event, but the
AHSA does not need to be involved.) However, if a rider agrees to allow his/her name,
picture, horse, etc. to be used in the advertising/
promotion of a commercial enterprise even
without the rider receiving any support or benefit, an AHSA signed agreement is nevertheless necessary because of the commercial advertising.
c. If a sponsorship involves leasing horses to a
sponsor for a time, a separate lease agreement
should be prepared. The form of such agreements is not prescribed by the AHSA or the
FEI, but the AHSA will advise riders and
sponsors concerning the application of FEI
Articles 143 and 144 regarding names and
ownership of horses.
The AHSA will not process any name
changes for horses in connection with sponsorships until the applicable"Sponsorship Agreement" has been signed by all parties concerned.
II. Receipt and Expenditure of Sponsors'
Financial Assistance
a. In accordance with the IOC bylaws and FEI
Regulations, financial assistance from sponsors cannot be paid directly to a rider but must
be paid through the AHSA. The AHSA maintains ariders' sponsorship fund account solely
for administering riders* sponsorship funds.
When a sponsor pays a rider's financial assistance to the AHSA, it is held in this account and
forwarded to therider upon the AHSA's receipt
of the rider's statement of competitive expenses.

Vaulting World
AHSA Guidelines, continued from page 9
The AHSA takesafeeof3%upto$100,000
and 1% over $100,000 of all funds handled
through the riders' sponsorship fund account,
to cover its administrative expenses.
The AHSA will not accept or disburse any
sponsorship funds until the applicable "Sponsorship Agreement" has been signed by all
parties concerned and transfers of funds have
cleared normal banking procedures.
b. "Sponsorship agreements may provide riders with financial assistance for preparation
for, and participation in international events."
(FEI Article 138.3). Therefore, the AHSA will
forward sponsorship funds to the rider upon
receipt of the rider's written statement of competitive expenses, anticipated or incurred in
connection with "preparation for" (a broad
category) and/or participation in international
competition, within one year beforeorafterthe
date of the sponsorship agreement. The AHSA
requires only a signed, written statement of
expenses, but riders are advised to retain all
receipts and records of such expenses in case of
questions.
IU. Tax Matters
Competitors and sponsors are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding tax aspects of
sponsorships, as the AHSA has no expertise or
responsibility in this area. As general information,
however, it should be noted that:
a. The AHSA riders' sponsorship fund account consists only of funds paid by sponsors
for riders, and the AHSA has no interest in or
power over such funds, except as an agent
Accordingly, sponsors' payments into this account are not eligible for a charitable gift tax
deduction for the sponsor making the payment
b. Financial assistance to riders fromsponsors
is generally taxable income to the rider.
C. Advertising
The principal incentive for most commercial
sponsors to support competitors is their ability to
use them in promotion and advertising of the
commercial enterprise.
The interpretation of "advertising" includes
actual advertisements or endorsements of a commercial company or product in any way using a
rider's name, person, picture, horse or sports performance in print or video media, product catalogs, on display boards, trade stands, horse or
human clothing and equipment, horse transport
vehicles or other similar items. "Advertising" also
includes the use of the name of a commercial
company as an owner of a horse or as a prefix to or
part of the horse's name either in the program,
catalog or media reports.
If a rider is not a professional and intends to
appear in advertising or show a horse with a
commercial company name, it is necessary to have
a "Sponsorship Agreement" signed by the company, the rider and the AHSA, even if the rider
receives no benefit or compensation. (See FEI
Article 139.6, IOC Bylaw B.4)

FEI Issues Code of
Conduct for Horse
Welfare Effective
January 1,1992
The following Code of Conduct, was drafted
by the FEI Ethics Review Committee specifically formed in 1989 to ensure the health and
welfare of horses participating under FEI Rules
and Regulations and to protect the good image
of equestrian sport. This Code was adopted in
February 1991 by the F.EI Veterinai > Committee and was put into effect at the meeting of the
FEI Bureau and the General Assembly at its
March 1991 meeting in Tokyo.
Code of Conduct
1. National Federations should establish adequate controls in order that all persons and
bodies under their jurisdiction respect the welfare of the horse.
2. Horses must be treated with the respect and
understanding they deserve.
3. Any handling and veterinary treatment
should ensure their health and welfare.
4. High standards of nutrition, health, sanitation and safety shall be encouraged and maintained at all times.
5. Adequate provision should be made for
ventilation, feeding, watering and maintaining
a healthy environment when horses are being
transported.
6. Emphasis should be placed on increasing
education in training and equestrian practices
and on promoting scientific studies in equine
health.
7. Any method of riding and training should
take account of the horse as a living entity and
must not include any technique considered by
the FEI to be abusive.
8. The well being of the horse must be considered above the demands of breeders, trainers,
riders, owners, dealers, organizers, sponsors or
officials.
9. The national and international Rules and
Regulations in equestrian sport regarding the
welfare of the horse must be adhered to not only
during national and international events, but
also in training. CompetitionRulesandRegulations should be continually reviewed to ensure
such welfare.
Beginning January 1,1992, this code must
be included in the schedules of all major
international competitions.
August 1,1991
International and AHSA Update
FEI Issues Minimum
Requirements for Stable
Security at International
Events
The following directives regarding stable
security were published in the June 1991 FEI
Bulletin.
Minimum Requirements to Ensure Implementation of VR Art 1005.1
Veterinary Regulations Art. 1005.1 states:
Organizing Committees in consultation with
the Veterinary Commission/Delegate are responsible for the following:
1. The strict security of stable areas particularly at all events at which medication control is
compulsory. In principle all horses participating in events must be stabled in restricted areas
where they can be effectively controlled as
required by the relevant rules and regulations.
Only the Technical Delegate, members of the
Ground Jury and Appeal Committee, the Stewards, the Veterinary Commission/Delegate, the
Medication Control Program Testing Teams
and the official farrier in addition to Persons
Responsible for horse, one owner per horse,
Chefs d'Equipe, trainers, grooms, team veterinarians and veterinarians accompanying individual competitors and team farriers, all of
whom have been duly authorized by the Organizing Committee may be authorized to enter
stable areas.* If horses are not stabled on the
grounds of the event, they must be subject to
random visits by any of the above mentioned
officials. No unauthorized person may be allowed to enter stable areas at any time during an
event.
A standard check in and check out to stables
and a security guard system must be established
on a 24 hour a day basis at least at all events at
which medication control is compulsory. Under
no circumstances should horses be schooled in
the stables or authorized to leave the stables, the
competition area or the areas supervised by
stewards for any purpose unless authorized by a
recognizedofficialoftheeventoraveterinarian
acting in the interestof the health and welfare of
the horse.
* Other persons may be authorized to enter the
stable area at the discretion of the President of
the OC. These may well include forwarding
agents conducting their legitimate business.
1. Access to Stable Area
The stables must be completely enclosed
within a suitably restrictive perimeter (stable
area) which will act both as a deterrent to the
admission of unauthorized persons and to the
Vaulting World
exit of horses. The area must be sufficiently
large to allow horses to be evacuated from the
stable in an emergency, but still remain within
the confines of the perimeter.
Whenever possible the stable area must includeonly stables—lorries, caravans etc., should
not be permitted within the area unless specifically needed as accommodation for horses and/
or grooms.
Access to stables must be limited to those
persons indicated in VRs Art. 1005.1 It is essential that the official issuing authorized access be
a responsible person of seniority within the
Organizing Committee.
2. Control of Access
A control system must operate at all entrance
gates so that there is an efficient and reliable
method of identifying those who enter and leave
the stable area at any time.
with access to his/her horses, are familiar with
the security and Stewarding procedures operating at the event attended.
5. Movement Throughout the Event
Grounds
Movement of horses between the stables,
practice, grazing andmain arena mustbe strictly
controlled. The optimum layout for Jumping
and Dressage disciph'nesisattached.It is appreciated that flexibility will be required depending on the requirements of other disciplines.
6. Stewarding of Practice Arena
The Chief Steward must ensure that each
practice arena is adequately stewarded at all
times that it/they are officially open. He must
also ensure that all practice arenas are subject to
random control when they are officially closed.
7. Grazing Area
It is recommended that a grazing area be
provided at all outdoor events and that this be
subject to random control. If available, horses
must only be grazed or walked in hand within
this area.
The Foreign Judge/TD at events will be
specifically asked to check that the relevant
requirements are met, as reasonably as can be
expected depending on the discipline, and to
clearly indicate any shortfalls, following which
consideration may be given to altering the category of the event in the future.
Extra vigilance must be used in establishing
the identity of persons and reasons for entering
the stables during the night.
Example of Ideal Layout of
Competition/Stable Area
3. Stewarding of Stable Area
At least one stable steward directly responsible to the Chief Steward, must be present or
readily available in the vicinity of the stable area
24 hours a day during the entire duration of the
event. He may be assisted by deputies as required. The steward/deputies must regularly
patrol the stable area, without establishing any
predetermined pattern, to discourage any form
of illegal practices or abuses to horses. Any
misdemeanors must immediately be reported to
the stable steward who must, in turn, report to
the Chief Steward.
The duty of the stewards is therefore to
safeguard the welfare of the horses and to prevent any form of illegal practices.
Gate—closed at night and (
off-competition times
4. Grooms
Stables
It is appreciated that grooms wish to remain
with their horses during the night. Only grooms
duly registered with the OC are permitted to do
so.
The Person Responsible must ensure mat
his/her grooms, or any other authorized persons

Fire Can't Stop
This Club!
Jane Johnson
A few of the Rocking Horse Vaulters,
Corrales, New Mexico, are pictured looking
through the remains of what had been their
bamandtackroom. Since last September, the
club had held practices at the home of team
mate Jesse Johnson. A major fire in April
burned the Johnson's bam to the ground,
destroying much of the club's vaulting tack
and burning the carpet on all of their barrels.
No horses were injured! But the Galassini's
tractor, used to till the arena, was damaged,
WithRegion IV Championships and Nationals coming up, the vaulters moved down
the street to the arena of their coach, Stacy
Galassini. Practice resumed the next day while
club mothers re-covered the barrels. '
A new bam should be ready by fall at the
Johnsons, so Rocking Horse vaulters can
keep warm during the winter.

Region IV Holds AHSA/AVA Recognized Spring Fest in May
Marjorle Oakes
Region IV's AnnualFest was held
at the Sheriff's Posse Grounds in
Albuquerque's north valley May 4
and 5. The two Albuquerque clubs,
Albuquerque Vaulters and Rocking
Horse Vaulters, entered 30 Vaulters,
ranging from beginning to gold levels. This first ever AHSA recognized competition inRegion IV was
managed by Merry Cole with assistance from parents of both clubs.
Maxine Chelini (R), of Santa Fe,
New Mexico, judged. Technical
Delegate was David Jaqua of
Corrales, New Mexico.
The weather was a bit cold for
May, but our Sheriff's Posse Arena
gave us a conveniently located covered facility. The fest was good experience for our vaulting teams. They
are looking forward to the National
Championships in Albuquerque in
July. The competition was a learning event for all and as Region IV
grows we hope to have more competitions of this type and to attract
vaulters from other parts of the
country.
High point winners were
Women's Gold Medalist Anna
Schulte and Men's Bronze Medalist
Chris Sealey, both of Albuquerque
Vaulters.
Results—Region IV Fest, Albuquerque, New

Great Falls Hosts May 18-19 AVA/AHSA Recognized Fest
Selection Trials for CVI Santa Cruz, at Frying Pan Park, Herndon, Virginia
Appcl-Biiderka, continued from fronl cover
Frying Pan Park, Hemdon, Virginia.
Horse events were judged by AVA Judge
(R) Maxine Chelini of Santa Pe, New
Mexico. Sugarloaf coach Dorothy Fontana judged the unrecognized barrel
classes.
Vaulters from nine AVA registered
clubs traveled from as faraway as Georgia and Michigan for this event. Parti cipaling clubs were Agape, Eau Claire,
Michigan, coached by Karen Roller,
Falconwood Flyers, Covington, Georgia, coached by former Great Falls Silver Medalist James Fuller, Glcndevon
Vaullers, Bluefield, Virginia, coached
by former Topaz 4-H Bronze Medalist
Linda Neimeier; Great Falls Vaulting
Team, Great Falls, Virginia, coached by
Carol Fuller: Ml. Tabor Vaulters,
Blacksburg, Virginia, coached by former
Great Falls Gold Medalist Jennifer Williams and Silver Medalist James Cooper, Mid-Atlantic Voltigeurs.Piltslown,
New Jersey, coached by Alice Oldford;
Sugarloaf Vaullers, Rockville, Maryland, coached by Dorothy Fontana;
Spectrum Vaulters, Charlottesville,
Virginia, coached by Bonnie Scribner,
and Topaz Vaulters 4-H, Chantilly, Virginia, coached by Chris Appel-Bucierka.
For the first time all nine clubs were
able tocompete at the canter, ratherthan
being limited to trot competition due to
lack of canter horses. Clubs dubbed this
"The Fest of the Green Canter Horses"
because 5 of the 9 horses had been
trained at the canterforonly thepast few
months. A record 95 vaulters competed:
6 Gold, 6 Silver, 12 Bronze, 18 Beginning Canter, 17 Trot, 23 Novice and 17
Pre-novice. The previous attendance
high at an eastern competition had been
seventy vaulters.
The Gold, Silver and
Bronze performances were
awe inspiring! Michigan's
Agape Vaulters, on
"Shazzam", showed personality, flair and pizazz in
both performance and costuming. This club had never
seen vaulting in person until a few years ago so their
coach, Karen Koller, decided that imagination
would be their theme.
Agape Vaulters turned in a
polished performance, especially 25 year old Andy
Gantenbcin, who was 1st
place man in the Gold Division. Andy was actually
only a Bronze Medalist
when he arrived at the
competition on Thursday. He passed his
Silver Medal test on Friday and then
competed at the Gold Level in the AHS A
Selection Trials. He saw vaulting forthe
first time at the UPSC's Festival in Kentucky four years ago. Having grown up
around horses, with a wife who rides
and shows, he decided to try vaulting so
as to have a common interest with his
wife. Andy sccshimself asa"risk taker".
His previous competitive sport was
motocross riding. His "Side Hand Stand
Vault Off at the Great Falls Fest was
superb, but it had taken him 1 1/2 hears
to perfect. Andy believes that his growth
as a vaulter has been encouraged by
both flexibility at home and encouragement from his coach.
All the Gold competitors sparkled,
most of all Champion woman Kellcy
Frizzell of Sugarloaf Vaulters. Nineteen
year old Kelley, who vaults on Great
Falls' horses, because her club has none,
cided that her first competition was not
where she wanted to be and Kelley had
to be satisfied with placing third in this
first of 4 rounds. True to her good nature, Kelley did not blame "Delilah",
deciding that was just the breaks—horses
will be horses! Long-time canter horse
"Epona" was her mount for the next 3
rounds in all of which she took first
place to finish first overall.
Team Kiirisalwaysacrowd pleasing
class as many of the double and triple
routines seem to defy the laws of balance, strength and coordination. At the
canter, Ml. Tabor and Agape battled it
out with many creative moves and transitions. The choreography of both teams
was fluid and graceful, very much like

Carousel Hosts AVA/AHSA Fest & Selection Trials June 1-2
Webb Ranch, Portola Valley, CA
Eileen Fredrikson
The fifth annual Carousel Fest
was held Saturday and Sunday, June
1-2,1991, at Webb Ranch Stables in
Portola Valley, California, The fcst,
always a high point in the Carousel
4-H Club's vaulting year, was even
more exciting this year because
Sunday's competition served as an
AHS Aqualifying round for the CVI
Sanla Cruz Selection Trials. Fourteen teams and about 160 vaultcrs
look part in the two day competition.
Months of planning by club
vaullcrs, parents and coaches resulted
indctailcd preparations forthe event.
Two mock fest had been held earlier
in the year to train every club member
in the various jobs that would be
needed to keep the competition running smoothly. When theday finally
arrived everyone was thrilled to see
bright, sunny weather, especially
since the previous year's fest had
been hindered by rain.
Coach Susie Barnes again challenged the club's canter level Gold,
Silver and Bronze vaulters to take
total responsibility for Saturday's
unrecognized trot and beginning
canter competition. The day, completely planned, staffed and managed by Carousel's senior vaulters,
went without a glitch.
Spectators at Sunday's AVA/
AHSA Recognized competition
were treated to sensational performances by the Gold, Silver and
Bronze vaulters. Judges Adrienne
Stang (I.FEI) and Elizabeth Searle
(I.FEI) presided at this exciting
round. Club coaches and vaulters
were cooperative and helpful in every way. Following the awards ceremony, which featured an Olympic
styled three tiered podium for the
winners.ahappyandvcry tired group
of Carousel parents and kids took
down the tents, food booths and displays. It was worth it!
Results—California Carousel Recognized Canter
and Unrecognized Trot Fest, June 1-2,1991, Judges:
Recognized Fest: Elizabeth Searle (I, FEI), Adrienne Stang (I.FEI)
Unrecognized Trot Day: Lynne Nelson, Kendel Edmunds

Pegasus Vaulters took over the
Fathers Day Fest date when circumstances made it impossible for Timberime to hosttheir annual eventthis
year. Saturday's unrecognized Trot
competition was judged by AVA
Apprentice Judges Stephanie Siemens and Nina Wiger. The recognized Canter Competition on Sunday was judged by Naomi Takemoto (I, FBI), while AVA Gold
Medalist Kendel Edmunds judged
theunrecognizedbarrel events. Over
150 vaulters from eleven Bay Area
clubs competed in the Trot, Canter,
andB arrel Events. The good weather,
facilities, and helpful staff at the
Santa Crux County Fairgrounds
helped to make the meet a success.
