Time Penalties

When an obstacle is displaced as the result of a disobedience or fall: 6 seconds

The bell is rung and the clock is stopped immediately, except in the case of a first fall of rider when the bell is rung immediately but the clock is not stopped until the rider has remounted. The rider may not continue until the bell is rung a second time. The clock is restarted at the moment when the horse takes off or attempts to take off at the obstacle where the refusal occurred. If a disobedience occurs at the second or subsequent part of a combination the clock is restarted when the horse takes off or attempts to take off at the first element of the combination.

Time penalties are added to the time taken to complete the round before the calculation of any time faults.
