During the course of an event it is possible that the fences or course may become less safe and secure. All riders shall be under a continuing duty to notify to the Committee any damage which they cause to, or notice in, any fence or the course during the event and to notify any defects to the Committee as it not possible for the Committee to inspect each fence and the course after every rider has completed the course or any part of it.
