FEI SHOWJUMPING RULES - SPUR AND WHIP MARKS ON THE HORSE
The FEI is starting to take a much stronger stance against abuse of any kind.
One of the ways they are implementing this is by stating that any marks on the horse caused by the whip or spurs or the rider will result in an immediate disqualification.
The rule refers to any marks on the body caused by excessive usage. The marks do not need to have drawn blood.
