Just a quick one, if you have a sponsor, is it okay to wear a numnah with your sponsors logo etc on a numnah for all of the disciplines?

I am pretty sure that you are not allowed a logo on your numnah, or riders clothing, but that's not to stop you having it on rugs etc. Best way to check would be to ask on the BE forum.

Taken from the rule book (http://www.britisheventing.com/docu...itle=Download+Area#category0001200000010002):

"Advertising and Logos – Competitors. identification of the manufacturer of
clothing and equipment may appear only once per clothing item (breeches,
gloves, shirt, headwear or on jackets at the height of breast pockets) on a
surface area not exceeding 3 sq cms. identification of sponsors may appear on
a surface area not exceeding:
• 80 sq. cms on each of the two sides of jackets or top garments at the height
of breast pockets except during the cross country phase;
• 200 sq. cms on one arm only of top garment or 100sq cms on each arm of
top garment for the cross country phase;
• For the show jumping and cross country tests only, the Competitor may
bear the logo of his sponsor vertically in the middle of his protective
headwear. the logo must not be longer than 25cm or wider than 5cm;
• For the show jumping and cross country phases only the Competitor may
bear the logo of his sponsor on the left leg of his riding breeches. the logo
must not be longer than 20cm or wider than 4cm;
• 16sq cms on both sides of shirt collar;
any logo displayed as mentioned above must be that of a Company or

I found the rules too confusing / strict about it on rider clothing so my sponsors just gave me a branded jacket with their big logo across the back that I wear for warming up / walking about in. I think the logo size for saddlecloths is so small they aren't very visible so its not really worth doing.

Thanks, I couldn't really understand whether it was allowed or not on numnahs!

I ride in all three phases with my sponsor's logo but it is only allowed if the logo is registered with BE, and within the size limits stipulated in the rules. There is a cost associated with registering the logo too - not sure how much it is though!

The sponsoring company or individual also has to be a BE member!

I have noticed that some riders use quarter markers to get around the saddle cloth rules, as there are no restriction on what your quarter markers are.
