III. THE FEI CODE OF CONDUCT FOR THE WELFARE OF THE HORSE The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) expects all those involved in international equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI’s Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the horse must be paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences. 1. At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farriery and tack, and transportation. 2. Horses and Athletes must be fit, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete. This encompasses medication use, surgical procedures that threaten welfare or safety, pregnancy in mares and the misuse of aids. 3. Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event. 4. Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over. This covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement. 5. The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in their areas of expertise. A full copy of this Code can be obtained from the Fédération Equestre Internationale, HM King Hussein I Building, Chemin de la Joliette 8, 1006 Lausanne, Switzerland, Telephone: +41 21 310 4747. The Code is available in English. The Code is also available on the FEI’s website: www.fei.org.

GENERAL CLASSIFICATION AT THE END OF THE COMPETIONS Leading rider award: Prix du Vainqueur ‘Grosspeter AG Nutzfahrzeuge’ Car with a retail value of CHF 20’000,-- for the athlete, being the best classified during the entire Longines CSI 5* Basel – 2016. The classification will be established as follows: In all competitions points are awarded according to the following system: The winner gets as many points as the total number of athletes starting in the competition; the second placed athlete gets one point less etc. In case of equal placing all respective athletes will receive the points corresponding to their placing. Athletes eliminated or having retired will receive no points; however, this does not apply to eliminations or retirements during any jump-off or second round. Notwithstanding the above, the points obtained in each competition will be multiplied by a coefficient, as indicated in the prize money chart, displayed on page # 18 of this official schedule. In case of equality of points for the first place of the final ranking of the Prix du Vainqueur, the best result obtained in competition no 17 will be decisive. Should this result be equal also, the best result obtained in competition no 10 will first serve as tie breaker; subsequently, in case of further equality, the best result obtained in competition no 5 will be decisive. During the Longines CSI 5* Basel – 2016, the current leading athlete in the provisional Prix du Vainqueur standings will be requested to wear a special armband. The provisional classification will be updated following each competition, the results of which are counting for the Prix du Vainqueur ranking. Event category

Eligibility The competition will be open to the best 25 athletes, according to the aggregate points obtained through competitions no 01, no 02, no 06 and no 07, including those who tie for the 25th place. Qualification procedure The 25 athletes having obtained the highest number of points via the qualifying competitions set above, including those who tie for 25th place, will be eligible for participation in the 3rd Helvetia European Amateur Final. In both qualifying competitions no 01 and no 07 (category B) points will be awarded as follows: the athlete placed first gets 75 points; the second placed athlete gets one point less etc.; in both qualifying competitions no 02 and no 06 (category A) points will be awarded as follows: the athlete placed first gets 100 points; the second placed athlete gets one point less etc. If an athlete competes with two horses, the highest number of points per day will be counted for qualification purposes only. In case of equal placing in the qualifying competitions, all respective athletes will receive the points corresponding to their placing. Athletes eliminated or having retired in the qualifying competitions will receive no points; this however does not apply to an elimination or a retirement during the second phase of competition no 06 or no 07. Starting order The starting order for the first round will be according to the reverse order of qualification system’s result. In case of equality of points, the starting order of the athletes concerned will be established by a separate draw. Substitution In case one of the 25 athletes eligible for participation withdraws from this competition, he/she may be substituted by the next best placed athlete, according to the qualification results. In any case the deadline for substitutions however is Saturday January 9th 2016 | 10hrs30 am.

IMPORTANT *) Maximum number of starters per competition: 100. If more than 100 starters are entered, the Organising Committee must split the class and provide the equivalent amount of prize money for the additional Competition. OCs may apply either of the following methods for splitting the competition: a) The competition is split into two groups before it starts. There may be a different number of starters in each group. There may be athletes with multiple horses in each group but all horses of any one athlete must be in the same group; or b) The competition is run as one single competition and split afterwards into two groups and the classification established as follows: the athlete with the best score is the winner of the first group, the athlete with the second best score is the winner of the second group and so on until prizes have been allocated to 25% of the total number of starters. NB: In this case separate results must be sent to the FEI for each of the two groups, e.g. results for Competition 1a and for Competition 1b. In both cases above each group must offer the same amount of prize money as indicated for the original competition. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the number of declared starters in the competition, not the actual number of starters, that determines whether the competition must be split.

To the greatest extent permitted by law, the FEI and the FEI Event Organiser shall NOT be liable for any damages relating to loss of property or injury of any kind to Athletes, Owners, Support Personnel or Horses at or in connection with an FEI Event and the FEI expressly excludes all such liability. 1.1
ATHLETES, OWNERS AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL
1.1.1. Personal accident and Health Insurance It is your responsibility as an Athlete/Owner/Support Personnel to ensure that you have adequate personal accident insurance in place to cover your participation at FEI Events and in particular to insure against any personal injury or medical expense arising from an accident, injury or illness which may occur at an FEI Event. You should check with your National federation to confirm if your National federation’s insurance policy (if any) covers personal accidents and/or illness which may occur when you are attending at/participating in FEI Events. If your National federation does not have a personal accident/health insurance policy or if the National federation’s insurance policy does not cover personal accident or health claims, then you should obtain your own personal accident and health insurance policy to cover your attendance/participation at FEI Events. 1.1.2. Personal Property Insurance You should also ensure that you are insured against property loss, theft ot damage which may occur at an FEI Event. Again, the advice is to check with your National federation to confirm if they have an insurance policy in place which could cover you in case of such property loss, theft or damage. If not, then you should obtain your own personal property insurance to cover such situations.

1.2 ATHLETES AND OWNERS 1.2.1. Third Party Liability Insurance As an Athlete/Owner you are personally responsible for damages to third parties caused by you, your employees, support personnel, your agents or your Horses. You are therefore strongly advised to take out third-party liability insurance providing full coverage in relation to FEI Events at home and abroad, and to keep the policy up to date. The FEI and the Organising Committee will NOT be responsible for any damage caused to third parties by you, your employees, support personnel, your agents or your Horses. 1.2.2. Horse Insurance As an Owner you should ensure that your Horses are adequately insured against any injuries or illnesses they may sustain while participating at an FEI Event. 1.3 ORGANISING COMMITTEE The Organising Committee will not accept responsibility for any accident happening to owners, participants, grooms, to or because of their horses to third parties in whichever circumstances, inside or outside the show grounds, during, before or after competitions. The civil and financial responsibility of the Organising Committee and its co-operators will never be liable in any circumstance. The Organising Committee (including their employees, representatives and show officials) will not be responsible for any accident, injury or damage that may occur to, or any illness or disease which may be contracted by any horse entered at the Longines CSI Basel – 2016 however occurring, and the Athletes and Horse Owners shall keep the Organising Committee indemnified against all liability whatever arising from any accident, injury, damage, illness or disease. Athletes recognize and accept that all equestrian sports involve inherent risks and that no helmet or protective equipment can protect against all foreseeable injury. Consequently, by entering their horse(s) for Longines CSI Basel – 2016 they accept the risk and hold harmless the Organising Committee, the FEI, the officials, agents, employees and their representatives. The Organising Committee will not be in any way liable for anything that may happen (from any cause or circumstances whatever) to property brought into the event or for any other loss, claim, circumstance, matter or event whatever in connection with, or arising out of, or attributable to the actions of the Organising Committee (including their employees, representatives and show officials) or any of their officers, or agents or these or any other rules or regulations special conditions prescribed by the event 2. PROTESTS/APPEALS To be valid, all protests and appeals must be made in writing and accompanied by a deposit of CHF 150,or its equivalent. Protests and appeal forms are available on the FEI website. 3. SCHOOLING DURING COMPETITION Athletes wishing to school during speed competitions (table A and table C) must inform the Organising Committee at the time the horse is declared for participation in the competition concerned. These athletes will then start first in these competitions. Please be advised that the Organising Committee however discourages this type of participation in the first place. 4. STEWARDING If an athlete is uncertain as to whether the boots he/she intends to use during an event are allowed, he/she or his/her representative should show the boots to the Chief Steward for his/her opinion before the boots are used in training or in competition. In addition, athletes are to be made aware that hind boots must be removed and placed again on the horse’s legs in the presence of a Steward while in the warm-up arena prior to entering the competition arena for certain competitions. (If bandages are used in place of boots, athletes are not required to remove the bandages in the warm-up arena.) This procedure is compulsory for competitions for which boot and bandage control is mandatory, that is the Nations Cup, Grand Prix, and the competition with the highest prize money, and is at the discretion of the Chief Steward for other competitions.
Circle Assist® | Global Equestrian Services
Page | 33
Final version | October 30th 2015
As an alternative to carrying out this procedure at the time designated by the Steward an athlete may ask his/her groom to take the boots to the in-gate and place them on the horse’s legs in front of the Steward prior to the combination entering the arena. The Steward has the authority to intervene if a boot is deemed excessively tight by instructing that the boot be removed and put on again correctly. [Stewards are to note that it is normal for a horse’s gait to be somewhat affected immediately after boots have been removed and re-placed.] If an athlete or his/her groom refuses to remove and re-place the boot(s) when instructed to do so by the Steward, a Yellow Warning Card will be issued to the athlete in question. If it is deemed impossible or unsafe to remove the hind boots in the warm-up arena prior to the combination entering the competition arena, due to an extremely excited or nervous horse, the boots of the horse in question are to be removed by the athlete/groom following the athlete’s round upon leaving the arena and inspected by the Steward. This inspection may be carried out during the boot and bandage control if the boot and bandage control is carried out for the competition in question. This procedure does not replace boot and bandage control after completion of an athlete’s round for competitions for which boot and bandage control is mandatory (refer to JRs Art. 244.1).
5. DISPUTES In the event of any discussion concerning the interpretation of this schedule (in translated languages), the English version will be decisive. 6. MODIFICATION TO SCHEDULE In exceptional circumstances, together with the approval of the Chefs d’Equipe and Ground Jury, the Organising Committee reserves the right to modify the schedule in order to clarify any matters or matters arising from an omission or due to unforeseen circumstances. Unforeseen circumstances do not include situations arising from a result of the Organising Committee altering the approved Schedule without the FEI’s authorisation. Any such changes will be notified to all competitors and officials as soon as possible and they will be reported to the Secretary General of the FEI by the Foreign Judge. All modifications made to the schedule after approval by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) must have the approval of the Secretary General of the FEI. Having received Ground Jury approval the Organising Committee may alter the timings or cancel any of the competitions, as necessities of the programme may require. 7. SHORTENING/CANCELLATION The Organising Committee reserves the right to take all necessary action, including cancelling or shortening the Longines CSI Basel – 2016, due to special and/or unforeseen circumstances, which in the opinion of the Organising Committee, would make the continuation of the event unjustified. Any such decision will be taken in agreement with the Secretary General of the FEI. No consequential liability whatsoever can be accepted in such occasion. Gen. Reg. 115.1 and 115.2. XIV.

Final version | October 30th 2015
a) Horses participating in the competitions on Thursday January 7th 2016, must be declared at the sports office, immediately following the official Horse Inspection of all horses on Wednesday January 6th 2016, but in any case at 18hrs00 at the latest for CSI-Am horses and at 19hrs30 at the latest for CSI 5* horses; b) Horses starting in the competitions on Friday January 8th 2016, Saturday January 9th 2016 and Sunday January 10th 2016, must be declared on the night before at the sports office, in any case at 17hrs00 at the latest for CSI-Am horses and at 22hrs00 at the latest for CSI 5* horses. 3. SUBSTITUTION After declaration no substitution of horses will be permitted, unless the Event’s Treating Veterinarian certifies officially, that the declared horse has become unfit to compete since the time of declaration. The final decision about the substitution is however at the discretion of the Ground Jury, following consultation of the FEI Veterinary Delegate. 4. PRACTICE ARENA Training (including working, lunging and walking) of horses is only allowed at specified times on the official and controlled exercise areas, provided by the OC from Wednesday January 6th 2016 (immediately after the Horse Inspection), until the conclusion of the event on Sunday, January 10th 2016. The exercise / practice areas will be permanently supervised by FEI stewards.

INCIVILITY Any act of discourtesy or disobedience to any judge, steward or any show official on the part of the athlete, groom, driver or owner of a horse may – at the discretion of the President of the Ground Jury – result in the athlete’s horses being disqualified from the event, in which case (entry) fees and prize money won will be forfeited. 7. PARADING All horses must be paraded whenever so ordered by the Organising Committee or an authorised show official. Any failure to comply with this rule may result in disqualification from competing and forfeiture of prizes, at the discretion of the Ground Jury. 8. DOCTOR | MEDICAL SERVICE | FARRIER Veterinary and medical assistance, as well as farriery services, are available for the duration of the event. These are at the expense of those requesting them.

Circle Assist® | Global Equestrian Services
Page | 35
Final version | October 30th 2015
However, the Show’s veterinary surgeon may proceed with humane destruction, without reference to the PR, in order to prevent undue suffering to the horse. Before taking this action, the Show’s veterinary surgeon should, wherever practicable, seek a second veterinary opinion. In such eventuality, owners are responsible for the cost of disposal. 9. PRIVATE VETERINARY SURGEONS Private veterinaries will have to report to the FEI Veterinary Delegate upon their arrival at the show grounds, before they will be accredited and be allowed to enter the restricted area.

They are not to be removed between the dates of Wednesday January 6th, 2016, following the official horse inspection, and the last competition on Sunday January 10th, 2016, in accordance with the relevant FEI rules. 11. NO SMOKING POLICY Smoking inside the stables is strictly prohibited; offences against this rule, first will incur a fine and in case of a repeated offence, will lead to permanent exclusion from the stables by means of withdrawal of the accreditation of the person concerned. 12. EMERGENCY STABLE CARDS ECSCs must be obtained from the stable managers office upon arrival at the event. It is the responsibility of the rider/groom to complete the card in full and affix to their horses stable door for the duration of their stay at the show. Whilst every reasonable effort will be made to contact the owner/person responsible of the animal, if unsuccessful the Veterinary Surgeon on duty will treat the animal as he finds necessary. 13. IDENTIFICATION For identification purpose all horses stabled must carry their identification number whenever leaving the stables; offences against this rule, will incur a fine. 14.

Riders may only compete on the understanding that they comply with and are bound by these regulations and the special conditions relating to each competition.
