The US Equestrian Board of Directors approved amendments to the Warning Card System rule during the 2025 Annual Meeting, which will go into effect on April 1, 2025. The revised rule aims to empower Judges, Stewards, and Technical Delegates to address conduct in real-time and correct behavior that should not be repeated. The changes focus on clarity and flexibility by streamlining the existing Yellow Warning Card process and adding a Recorded Warning process for less egregious behavior.
