We encourage all of you to be on time for the pre-inspection since it is a tight time schedule and many horses have been entered into the competition. We would like to point out that it is mandatory for someone in the team to go to the route review.

*The review will take place about 45 min before the starting time of each class except for class 1-3 that have their route review the day before the competition.

** For the riders in Class 3 (80*km FEI) and Class 6 (80 km) it´s possible to do pre-inspection Friday 12:th from 18:00 (PM)

After finishing the race all horses must be through their final inspection within 20 minutes (expect FEI classes within 30 minutes). The pauses in the competition are 30-50 minutes long due the class you are in.
