Not slacking multitasking
I like a friend's suggestion to copy racing and let the horse keep the win and ban the jockey for a bit.
For eventing it is:
abuse of horse definition includes:
f) Horses bleeding on the flank(s) or back indicating excessive use of the whip and/or spurs
Blood on Horses may be an indication of abuse of the Horse and must be reviewed case by case
by the Ground Jury.
In minor cases of blood in the mouth, such as where a Horse appears to have bitten its tongue
or lip, or minor bleeding on limbs, after investigation the Ground Jury may authorise the Athlete
to continue.
But abuse of horse can be dealt with by lots of options!:
a) Recorded Verbal Warning.
b) Yellow Warning Card.
c) Elimination.
d) Fine.
e) Disqualification.

Mandatory disqualification:
Horses bleeding on the flank(s), in the mouth or nose or marks indicating excessive use of spurs or of the whip anywhere
on the Horse (in minor cases of blood in the mouth, such as where a Horse appears to have bitten its tongue or lip, Officials
may authorize the rinsing or wiping of the mouth and allow the Athlete to continue; any further evidence of blood in the
mouth will result in Disqualification.);
Driving
2. Wounds and Lacerations
2.1. Blood on Horses may be an indication of abuse of Horse and must be investigated case
by case by any member of the Ground Jury.
2.2. In minor cases of blood in the mouth, such as where a Horse appears to have bitten its
tongue or lip, or minor bleeding on limbs, after investigation the Athlete may be
authorized to continue.
4. Penalty
Acts deemed as Abuse of Horse will result in the imposition by the Ground Jury of any or a
combination of the following penalties:
a) Yellow Warning card
b) Fine
c) Elimination
d) Disqualification from the Event
Endurance (2016)
Soreness, Laceration and Wounds: any evidence of soreness, lacerations
and wounds in the mouth, on the limbs and on the body, including girth and
saddle galls, must be recorded. If participation in or continuation of the
Competition is bound to seriously aggravate any such soreness, lacerations or
wounds, the Horse will not be allowed to continue.
So eventing/driving seem to have a system in place where 1) it is reviewed by ground jury and 2) said ground jury have the option of a number of different penalties not just disqualification and I don't really understand why this latter options does not exist across the board.
