Event Details Summary
There is no need to post the entire event schedule, classes, etc in the diary as this can be included as a download. Ensure that the basic information is included in the summary up to a maximum of 1500 characters.
Was the Event Commercial?
Commercial Events must have a corresponding Standard Listing in the NFED Services Directory.
A commercial event is any event or series including shows, competitions & clinics run by a commercial venue, individual or entity as part of their business or for profit.
Commercial venues include: equestrian centres, livery yards, cross country courses, etc, that hold or host equestrian events as part of their business.
Mixed Events: If the event contains both open & commercial events, the commercial event will take precedence, the commercial event rules will apply.
What is a Standard Directory Listing?
A Standard Listing in the NFED Services Directory will give you full use of the event diary whilst helping us to provide this service.

Regularly Ignoring Guidelines
The Event Diary, takes a great deal of time & effort to run.
