FEI Vaulting Rules - Changes for 2025

Equipment Terminology (Article 719.2.5)

The term "Draw reins" has been changed to "Three-Points reins" to avoid confusion with the term’s use in other disciplines. This adjustment ensures consistency across the FEI TackApp and rules for all sports.

Eligibility and Starting Possibilities (Articles 736, 739 & 743)

A clarification has been made regarding swings, allowing them to be performed with either closed or open legs without affecting the mark. References to leg positions have been removed to eliminate ambiguity.

Noseband Tightness Standards (Veterinary Regulations, Article 1044.8)

A new FEI measuring device for noseband tightness will be introduced across disciplines, starting 1 May 2025, to ensure consistent and reliable readings.
