The B.S.P.S. encourages members to have their hats tagged through the B.S.P.S. scheme or via the Pony Club Scheme. Tagging indicates the hat meets the accepted standards, no check of the fit or condition of the hat is implied. It is considered to be the responsibility of the members/guardians to ensure the hat complies with current standards and is tagged before they compete. Members/guardians are responsible for ensuring the manufacturer’s guidelines with regard to fit and replacement are followed.

BETA recommends body protectors are replaced at least every three to five years, after which the impact absorption properties of the foam may have started to decline.
Air Jackets may be worn. If a member chooses to wear an air jacket they are allowed in addition to a normal body protector, which meets BETA 2018 level 3 standard. Air jackets must not be worn under any jacket or body protector and numbers must be fitted with elasticated fastenings.
