1False start - Any pony which crosses the start line before the flag is dropped will be sent further back, behind the penalty line, by the referee.

2Equipment issues - Any equipment knocked over needs to be replaced in its original position. If a rider drops a piece of equipment during a race they must pick it up before continuing. Sometimes a rider may miss an attempt at a task, in this case a rider may repeat the task until the referee’s whistle is blown.

3Dropped changeovers – Due to the speed at which games are played equipment may be dropped during changeovers. If this happens you will see one rider dismount to pick up the equipment, before handing it to the next rider.

4False changeovers - All four feet of the ponies involved in a changeover must be behind the start/finish or changeover line when the changeover takes place.

5Loose pony – If a rider falls off/misses a vault and loses their pony the rider must get reunited with their pony and return to the area where they parted company before they can resume the game.
