A brouhaha about number bibs has arisen over a mid-season rule change by British Eventing (BE) to support sponsors.
During the past year, enterprising companies started selling reusable numbers that fit inside competitor number bibs, in reaction to BE’s Covid regulations.
Before the pandemic hit, competitors would collect the two sheets of A4 paper with their number printed on them from the secretary when they arrived at an event.
However, as part of the sport’s safe return after the coronavirus enforced halt in 2020, BE stated competitors should print their own bib numbers before arriving.
