At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farriery and tack, and transportation. 2. Horses and competitors must be fit, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete. This encompasses medication use, surgical procedures that threaten welfare or safety, pregnancy in mares and the misuse of aids. 3. Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event. 4. Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over. This covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement. 5. The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in their areas of expertise. A full copy of this Code can be obtained from the Fédération Equestre Internationale, HM King Hussein I Building, Chemin de la Joliette 8, 1006 Lausanne, Switzerland, Telephone: +41 21 310 4747. The Code is available in English & French. The Code is also available on the FEI’s website: www.fei.org.

The owner(s) of the winning horse(s) of the Grand Prix is (are) entitled to attend to the prize giving ceremony. 4. INSURANCES All owners and athletes will be personally responsible for damages to third persons caused by themselves, their employees, their agents or their horses. They are therefore strongly advised to take out third-party insurance providing full coverage for participation in equestrian events at home and abroad, and to keep the policy up to date. The Organising Committee will not accept responsibility for any accident happening to owners, participants, grooms, to or because of their horses to third parties in whichever circumstances, inside or outside the show grounds, during, before or after competitions. The civil and financial responsibility of the Organising Committee and its co-operators will never be liable in any circumstance. The FEI insures all FEI Officials, whose names are published in the FEI Officials lists, against third party liability including Judges, Course Designers, Technical Delegates, FEI Stewards, FEI Veterinary Delegates, Para Classifiers, Members of the Judges’ Supervisory Panel and FEI Coaches (FEI MCP Veterinarians are covered under a different policy): Who are acting for or on behalf of the FEI as stated in the approved schedule of the Event or who are acting in the scope and course of the FEI’s Business as described in the final approved schedule; and Who have received the status of FEI Officials at FEI Events through a qualification process. The FEI will NOT insure: National officials officiating at FEI Events; and/or FEI Officials, who have no official function at the Event. The insurance extended is for any liability that the FEI Official incurs to a third party, and for the costs of defending any such claim arising as a result of actions undertaken by the FEI Official in good faith (including errors and omissions) on behalf of the FEI. However, the insurance for obvious reasons does not extend to any liabilities incurred as a result of an FEI Official’s dishonest, fraudulent, malicious, and/or illegal act. Should an FEI Official become aware of an incident that he or she believes might result in a claim, that FEI Official should notify the FEI immediately and provide all of the facts known to the FEI Official. The FEI cannot guarantee the insurance coverage described above in circumstances where the FEI Official has good cause to believe that there might be a claim and does not provide such timely notice directly to the FEI.

RESULTS In order to proceed with the results publication and for qualification purposes the FEI requires results to be uploaded directly on the FEI Database within five days after the conclusion of the event. All relevant information, file format and tutorial can be found on this page: http://twww.fei.org/fei/your-role/organisers/xml-format If you or your provider are unable to produce the required files, results will be accepted by e-mail to [email protected], in the proper Excel or “XML” format immediately after the event. Please refer to compulsory format for CSIs/CSIOs/Championships and Games; the file can be downloaded using the following link: http://www.fei.org/fei/your-role/organisers/jumping/results-forms All results must include FEI passport Registration number of horses and FEI ID numbers of Riders. Please note that as per Art. 109.6 (GR): OCs of International Events must inform the FEI and NFs whose teams or individuals have taken part, of the results and prize money paid to each placed athlete and team, within five (5) days following the Event, unless otherwise specified for qualification and ranking reasons as communicated by the FEI. Failure from OCs of International Events to provide the FEI with the appropriate result(s) and/or prize money information by the aforesaid deadline and/or in the aforesaid format shall entail a warning for the first violation and thereafter a fine of CHF 1’000.—per violation. 13. BETTING No officially Organising Committee authorized betting will take place at this event. 14. STEWARDING If an athlete is uncertain as to whether the boots he/she intends to use during an event are allowed, he/she or his/her representative should show the boots to the Chief Steward for his/her opinion before the boots are used in training or in competition. In addition, athletes are to be made aware that hind boots must be removed and placed again on the horse’s legs in the presence of a Steward while in the warm-up arena prior to entering the competition arena for certain competitions. (If bandages are used in place of boots, athletes are not required to remove the bandages in the warm-up arena.) This procedure is compulsory for competitions for which boot and bandage control is mandatory, that is the Nations Cup, Grand Prix, and the competition with the highest prize money, and is at the discretion of the Chief Steward for other competitions. As an alternative to carrying out this procedure at the time designated by the Steward an athlete may ask his/her groom to take the boots to the in-gate and place them on the horse’s legs in front of the Steward prior to the combination entering the arena. The Steward has the authority to intervene if a boot is deemed excessively tight by instructing that the boot be removed and put on again correctly. [Stewards are to note that it is normal for a horse’s gait to be somewhat affected immediately after boots have been removed and re-placed.] If an athlete or his/her groom refuses to remove and re-place the boot(s) when instructed to do so by the Steward, a Yellow Warning Card will be issued to the athlete in question. If it is deemed impossible or unsafe to remove the hind boots in the warm-up arena prior to the combination entering the competition arena, due to an extremely excited or nervous horse, the boots of the horse in question are to be removed by the athlete/groom following the athlete’s round upon leaving the arena and inspected by the Steward. This inspection may be carried out during the boot and bandage control if the boot and bandage control is carried out for the competition in question. This procedure does not replace boot and bandage control after completion of an athlete’s round for competitions for which boot and bandage control is mandatory (refer to JRs Art. 244.1). 15. RESPONSIBILITY The Organising Committee (including their employees, representatives and show officials) will not be responsible for any accident, injury or damage that may occur to, or any illness or disease which may be contracted by any horse entered at the AXIM CSI Ascona | SUI – 2015 however occurring, and the competitors shall keep the Organising Committee indemnified against all liability whatever arising from any accident, injury, damage, illness or disease. Circle Assist® | Global Equestrian Services Page | 15 Schedule AXIM CSI Ascona | SUI – 2015 Final version, June 16th 2015 www.csi-ascona.ch Athletes recognize and accept that all equestrian sports involve inherent risks and that no helmet or protective equipment can protect against all foreseeable injury. Consequently, by entering their horse(s) for AXIM CSI Ascona | SUI – 2015 they accept the risk and hold harmless the Organising Committee, the FEI, the officials, agents, employees and their representatives.
