MINIMUM GUIDELINE STANDARD
The National Federation may however from time to time lay down minimum standards of
entitlement for awarding of medals in the National Equestrian Championships. This has been
incorporated to debar presentation of medals to undeserving participants in the unlikely
circumstances where participation in NEC is either very limited or unrepresentative of National
standards.
