Preliminary Level: 6 obstacles and 6-8 km. In each obstacle: 4 gates A-B-C-D. There is no cantering allowed on course in between obstacles, but cantering is allowed in the obstacles. There are two water obstacles.
Note that VSEs and small ponies do not need a navigator, but large ponies, horses, and any multiples require a navigator on the marathon
ASTM Safety Helmets are REQUIRED for all persons on the carriage. Safety vests for driver and navigator are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
