Showing support for your chosen horse and jockey with cheers or applause is an exciting part of horse racing. However, it’s important to remember that there are moments where silence is more appreciated. For example, when horses are preparing to enter the starting gate.

According to Horse Event, an overly loud crowd can disturb the jockey's concentration and even startle the horses. Therefore, knowing when to be boisterous and when to be quiet is a form of sportsmanship for spectators in the arena.

Every spectator wants the best spot to watch the action on the track. But remember, don't stand carelessly and block the view of others.

If there are barriers or fences, do not cross them. This simple act shows consideration for other spectators.

Horses are highly sensitive to their surroundings. Loud noises, sudden movements, or outstretched hands can startle and stress them out.

Therefore, if you want to approach or touch a horse, be sure to ask for permission first from the person in charge of handling the horse.

The rule of orderly behavior is not always explicitly written at some horse racing events. Therefore, it is important to maintain good conduct throughout the event.

For example, this includes waiting in line at the ticketing box, not being overly celebratory when you win, and not loudly complaining when you lose. The main point is to manage interactions among spectators so the atmosphere remains comfortable.

The horse racing arena provides various facilities for spectators, from a food court or small business area to grandstands and public restrooms. The cleanliness of these facilities must be maintained from the beginning to the end of the event. This way, the arena remains well-kept and comfortable for everyone to use.

The risk of injury and a lack of safety are not only faced by jockeys and horses on the track. Furthermore, spectators also need to pay attention to their safety when attending a horse racing event.

This is why safety rules for spectators are so important. One example happened in Indonesia during the 2024 PON XXI Aceh-North Sumatra.

The smooth running of an event, free from disruptions and on schedule, is a top priority in horse racing. For this reason, special rules are enforced for spectators.

These rules generally include a ban on making loud noises or carrying certain objects, such as lasers, which have the potential to startle horses on the track or when they are preparing at the starting gate.

Every spectator who attends a horse race has the right to a pleasant and unforgettable experience. This is because spectator comfort is key to creating a lively and memorable atmosphere.

Based on this aspect, a number of rules are enforced for every spectator. For example, a ban on bringing professional cameras that could block other spectators' view of the track, crossing designated area boundaries, and maintaining behavior so as not to disturb others.

Horses are the stars of the race track, so their condition must always be ready and free from stress. For this reason, there is a special preparation area for them to avoid disturbances and perform optimally during the race.

This is where the role of the spectator is just as important. For example, respecting area boundaries, not making a commotion, and maintaining good behavior for the comfort of the horses and the smooth running of the event.

Rules for horse racing spectators are part of the organizer's responsibility to comply with applicable regulations and safety standards. Therefore, a number of special rules are enforced to ensure the event runs smoothly without any obstacles.
