In addition, Amateur Riders must not have reached their 26th birthday, prior to the first race in the Series.

2. Horses should be suitable for very inexperienced riders, and therefore privileges will not be allowed.

Horse must therefore not proceed to the start at a walk or trot.
3. Every Rider must carry a whip. the whip may be pulled trhough from one hand to the other as often as necessary. A Rider must not hit their horse with the whip either with their hands on or off the reins except as provided in Paragrap 6. A rider must not wave their whip. In exceptional circumstances the Rider may use the whip for safety reasons only.
4. If a Rider uses their whip as prohibited in paragraph 3 above, it will be regarded as Improper Riding (see Rule (B)54) and the British Horseracing Authority have recommended to Stewards that they impose a mimimum suspension of 7 days:
   1. In the case of Conditional Jockeys, on those days when a Conditional Jockeys' race is programmed to take place, or
   2. In the case of Amateur Riders, in accordance with Schedule (B)I. This suspension will not count towards the total numbr of days suspended during the current rolling twelve-month period.
5. If a Rider is suspended for using their whip in one of these races they will be stripped of existing points and receive no further points in the series, but will be able to continue riding in the series unless one of the races falls on a suspension day. In the case of a second offence occurring the British Horseracing Authority have recommended to Stewards that they impose a minimum suspension of 14 days and the rider will be prevented from riding in the remainder of the series.
6. In Hurdle and Steeple Chase races the whip may be used down the shoulder in the backhand position, with both hands on the reins when approaching an obstacle, i.e. within four or five strides of take-off.

Failure to walk the course without contacting Polly Greco in advance will result in the Rider losing all riding skills and professionalism points for the race in question. Repeat offences may result in the Rider being prevented from riding in the remainder of the series. For prior dispensation from the mandatroy course walk Riders should contact Polly Greco 01638 665103.
9. After the race, the Rider of every horse will be required to report to the Stewards' room where they will be talked through the race by the Jockey Coach.

Special permission to miss the debreif may be granted from the Sipendiary Steward on the day for any Rider who has to leave straight after the race to travel to another meeting. The Jockey Coach may also contact Riders after the race meeting to further advise them on their riding.
10. If the Stewards impose a suspension on a Rider for any other riding offence, 10 points will be deducted from the Rider's total points in the series, but the Rider may continue to ride in the series and receive points. A second offence would mean the Rider will be stripped of existing points and, although they will still be able to ride in the rest of the series, they will receive no further points.
