Dear FEI 3* Competitor:

Article 1008 of the FEI Veterinary Regulations requires us to provide stables for our FEI 3* athletes. They are not required at the 1* and 2* CIM levels. The I* and ?* horses will be housed in enclosures (paddocks provided by you) at Ride Camp in a separate FEI area as we usually do at FITS. This year you will have numbered spaces assigned to you for parking. We will draw these by lottery to be fair. This is to ensure sight lines so that the FEI horses at their trailers are observable at all times by the Officials.

Attached here is a map of the FITS Grounds at Gold Medal Farm which shows where our 3* stabling is located in Barn 2 on the Ride Grounds. It is almost exactly one mile from the Ride Camp Field, accessed by dirt paths. It can also be accessed from the paved road to facilitate horse transportation and gear pick up/drop off. Also attached here are pictures of the stabling. As required, it will have a monitored gate and a steward will be on the premises overnight. You will receive a stall card and a stall assignment in your rider packet. Please fill in the card with additional contact information.

**Only riders, crew and officials will have access to this barn. We will furnish wrist bands to you and your crew in your Rider Packet.**

Also, Article 1043 of the Veterinary Regulations, section 14 states:

"To ensure that Horses have adequate rest between travel and Competition, and to ensure adequate veterinary supervision before and after a ride, at all CEI2*, CEI34, and Championships, subject to the discretion of the Veterinary Commission, all competing Horses must remain in the stable area at the Event under veterinary supervision (by the President of the Veterinary Commission, the Foreign Veterinary Delegate, a member of the Veterinary Commission, and/or a Treating Veterinarian) for (1) a minimum of eight hours before the First (Pre-Ride) Inspection for CEI2* and CEI3* (subject to published closing times for the stables), and (ii) a minimum of eight hours after the Horse finishes the Competition"

Accordingly, 3* horses must arrive on the Grounds and be checked in by Sam on Feb 27th at the latest. Please proceed to Ride Camp to be checked in at vetting. After check in, your horse can be hand walked or ridden to the stables and you can bring any gear over to the stables using your vehicle. Once your horse is checked in, it can't be transported off the grounds by trailer unless withdrawn from competition.

~ All 3* Horses Must Be Securely Stabled in Barn 2 by 6 pm on Feb. 27th
~ Barn 2 will Close Feb 27th at 10 pm
~ Barn 2 will open 4 am Feb 28th
~ Horses will be escorted to the start line at 5:45am by our Trail Master, Kelsey Russell. You are welcome to ride or walk in hand to the start line
~ Check-in is at 6:15am
~ Start is at 6:30am

You may physically arrive on the Grounds as early as Sam on Wednesday; the 26th. Once you have checked in by Sam on Thursday the 27th, your horse must be stabled. Before then, you can use an enclosure in your camping area. After your finish, be prepared to stable your horse for a minimum of S hours, knowing that the Veterinary Commission can release him or her earlier at their discretion.

We look forward to hosting you in this special 20th Anniversary year at FITS. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
