It is permittted to substitute a Horse who has failed the In-Harness-Inspection before Cones with a spare Horse, upon re-presentation, the Athlete may start the Cones Competition and therefore change the declaration. |
| Reason for Change: | This is to allow Athletes that have an unfit horse before the Cones competition to substitute the unfit horse with another declared horse.
