The ACCOUNT HOLDER will receive all correspondence related to this entry including e-tickets.

Entries for British Showjumping classes (which will be capped) will open on 20th April, and close on 27th April. Entries for all other national classes will open on 22nd April and will close on 14th May.

Entries will be taken through My Riding Life (www.myridinglife.com). It is recommended that you create and/or update your account before entries open, to ensure the entry process is quick and easy for you. No postal entries will be accepted. No late entries will be accepted.

In order to work within COVID-19 Guidelines, entries in ALL classes will be limited.

OWNERS’ PASSES – HOW THE E-TICKET SYSTEM WILL WORK

When you have completed your entry online, you will receive an email from My Riding Life confirming that your entry has been received. After entries have closed, you will then receive a second email, prior to 15th June, from RFIdentikit which will request you to allocate your e-tickets.

This year to receive your e-ticket allocation you will need to allocate your e-tickets to your associates who will be attending the Show with you. An e-ticket will not be released unless it is allocated to a valid email address. Please ensure this email address is for the person accompanying you to site as this will also be used to send them their Health Questionnaire.

After allocating your e-tickets they must be printed and brought with you to gain access.

Three passes will be issued for the first horse / pony entered. Competitors with more than one horse / pony will then be issued with an additional three passes per horse / pony.

Driving entries will be provided additional passes based on the turnout entered.

Each entry will receive one Horse Box pass and, if requested, one Owners Car Pass.

Additional wristbands will not be available to purchase with your online entry.

Please do not bring anyone to site who is not in receipt of a valid e-ticket.

Only those in possession of an e-ticket from RFIdentikit will be able to gain access to the show ground via Victoria Bridge. General Entry ticket holders must enter via the Public Entrance in the King Edward VII car park.

HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE
All Competitors and their associates will be required to complete a Health Questionnaire on each day they are competing/attending the Show Ground. This will be emailed to the email address associated with an allocated e-ticket. E-tickets will be linked to Health Questionnaires so failure to complete the questionnaire prior to arrival on site will result in delayed entry or refusal of entry to the Show Ground.

STABLING
This year there will be NO stabling for national competitors on the showground.

EQUINE INFLUENZA VACCINATION CERTIFICATES
All horses and ponies entering the Showground must be vaccinated according to the requirements below, and vaccination certificates / passports must accompany the horse or pony to the Show, and be available for checking. There will be no tolerance of Equine Influenza Vaccination Certificates that do not meet Show protocol, as seen below. If discrepancies are found, this will result in the horse being sent home immediately, without competing and/or any prizes will be forfeited

Horses competing at FEI Events must comply with the requirements for Equine Influenza vaccination in accordance with the Veterinary Regulations and as summarised on Page 10 of the schedule.

All horses / ponies taking part in competitions / displays other than those governed by the Rules of the FEI must have certificates of vaccination against Equine Influenza complying with the above.

PLEASE NOTE THAT NEITHER VACCINATION CERTIFICATES NOR PASSPORTS SHOULD BE SENT TO THE HORSE SHOW OFFICE PRIOR TO THE EVENT. HOWEVER, RANDOM CHECKS WILL BE CARRIED OUT ON THE SHOWGROUND FOR NATIONAL CLASSES, AND ALL PASSPORTS FOR INTERNATIONAL CLASSES MUST BE HANDED IN TO A REPRESENTATIVE IN THE PEDEN BLOODSTOCK CARAVAN PRIOR TO COMPETING, FROM WHERE THEY MAY ALSO BE COLLECTED.

NATIONAL PASSPORTS
All National competitors MUST bring their horses’ passports with them to the show and ensure that their horses’ vaccinations are up to date. Spot checks will be carried out and if there are any discrepancies you will be referred to the Organising Committee, and you may be sent home.

EHV
Due to the increased risk of EHV infection, we shall be putting in place a strict biosecurity policy, including an increased frequency of examination of horses on arrival. Please do not arrive on site if you are at all concerned about the health of your horse or pony before leaving home. If, upon arrival, you are concerned about anything, please speak to an official who will raise one of the Veterinary Team to assist you and make a decision about whether access to the site will be permitted. Please take great care with all your tack and anything associated with your horse/pony and ensure that there is no contact or possibility of cross contamination with other entrants and their belongings.

COMPETITOR COMMUNICATION
On the run up to the show we will communicate any changes to our Covid procedures, timetable changes or any other important updates for National Competitors via email, to the Billing Contact email submitted at the time of making your entry on My Riding Life. Please let the Entries team know as soon as possible any changes to your contact details on the run up to the Show, so you do not miss any vital communications from the Entries team.

Please note slight changes to class timings may not be confirmed until the morning of Competition.

All horses must be properly shod except for in-hand classes.

A false declaration or misstatement of any kind (including a change of names of an animal or incorrect description, or false declaration of prizes won at Horse Shows) may at the discretion of the Committee disqualify an Owner from the Show and the animal entered from any prize, and from entering or being entered again at the Royal Windsor Horse Show. In particular a misstatement as to height will automatically render the animal entered ineligible for any judging or prize. Owners must be prepared to verify any statement in a manner required by the Committee.

DISQUALIFICATION
9. In the case of an animal being disqualified whether as a result of any objection or otherwise, the winner of the next succeeding prize in that class shall take the prize that has been awarded to such disqualified animal, and the other animals shall take prizes accordingly, and the lowest monied prize in the class shall be taken by the reserve number.

CLASS

Entries must therefore be made in the appropriate class or classes for which the animals entered are eligible. In case of doubt as to the eligibility of any animal for any particular class or classes, entries may be made in more than one class on paying the fee for each class, and the animal will be judged in any class or classes for which it may be found to be eligible, but no refund of entry fees will be made.

A horse entered in a wrong class will be excluded from competition and the entry fee forfeited but at the discretion of the judges any horse over the specified weight may be directed to another class.

Owners may remove their animals from the Show Ground after judging of the classes in which they are entered, unless eligible for Championship Classes.

The number of animals which shall be asked to give an individual show in any class and the number of horses a Judge shall ride shall be left entirely to the discretion of the Judges.

POWER TO WITHHOLD OR DIVIDE PRIZES
18. The Judges have the power to withhold any prize, either from want of merit in the horse exhibited or from insufficiency of competition in the classes, or to divide a prize, or to judge two sections of a competition as one class.

VETERINARY EXAMINATION
19. The Judges of every class shall have power to require any animal to be examined for soundness by the Veterinary Surgeons. The result of any veterinary examinations shall be regarded as confidential. Unsoundness, notwithstanding an award of prizes, will disqualify, except in the Jumping Competition.

It is the responsibility of Owners of horses / ponies based in the United Kingdom to settle directly with the Show’s veterinary surgeons any veterinary costs incurred while a horse / pony or horses / ponies in their ownership are on the Showground if, for any veterinary or animal welfare reasons, a horse is declared unfit to travel. Any owner who fails to settle a veterinary account and / or other related costs will be excluded from future entry to the Royal Windsor Horse Show.

Where, in the opinion of the Show’s Veterinary Surgeon, a horse is so severely injured that it ought to be humanely destroyed, the owner / trainer / rider / driver should, wherever possible, first be informed. However, the Show’s Veterinary Surgeon may proceed with humane destruction, without reference to owner / trainer / rider / driver, in order to prevent undue suffering to the horse. Before taking this action the Show’s Veterinary Surgeon should, wherever practicable, seek a second veterinary opinion. In such eventuality, owners are responsible for the cost of disposal.
