For the purpose of these Rules, the Person Responsible is normally the trainer, owner or the competitor who rides or drives the horse during an event, or a parent or legal guardian in the case of junior competitors.

The Person Responsible must hold a valid EC Sport License in good standing at the same level or higher in which the horse is competing.
