But the rule is on the books, and we’re abiding by the rule, and Phillip is taking it on the chin."[/QUOTE]

Too bad they don’t feel this way about rule violations in girl’s gymnastics.

At the moment, it is just an FEI rule.[/QUOTE]

Isn’t there a USDA rule, which would obviously apply to USEF shows too? Anyone know what that weight limit is? My apologies if this came up already.

This is on the Eventing forum…

The FEI EVENTING Committee adopted the 1 fall rule, and made it effective Aug. 1 2008. They also notified us of this. The FEI JUMPER Committee wrote and adopted the 500g boot rule and in notifying us, specified that it would take effect for Eventing following review by the Eventing Committee and then, not before Jan. 1, 2009. No special notification was received regarding early adoption of the boot rule, so to me that means that it should not yet be in effect.

How can they implement a rule months earlier and not notify the USEA or anyone else?

Phillip is amazing, he takes everything on the chin, a good sport. I don’t remember seeing him get upset, very calm under pressure but to have this happen he has the right to be mad. I think that he rarely gets mad. I’ve only seen him be really kind to the kids including my son. He must be a great Dad too.

How did this pop up two years later? Check the dates, post before mine is 2010, all the rest are 2008.
