I was wondering when you would see that directive from HRNZ and light up
"WHIP AND REIN REGULATIONS
On20thAugust 2020, the Board of Harness Racing New Zealand approved the new Whip and Rein Regulations,effective1stOctober 2020.After a number of discussions over the last 12 months with a working group comprising the North Island and South Island Trainers and Drivers’ representatives,Brodie, RIU, JCA, HRNZ management and Board members,it was decided to mirror the new Australian whip rules in our updated Whip and Rein Regulations.These Regulations take into consideration the welfare of the horse which is paramount, and reflects the need to maintain our social license. Additionally, having the same rules in both New Zealand and Australia will make the transition between countries for drivers far easier.The new Whip and Rein Regulations are attached.
