Terms & Conditions

1 The decision of the Judges shall be final. Objections of any kind must be made in writing and delivered to the Secretary making it clear that it is an objection which is being handed in. A deposit of £30 shall be paid with each objection which must be made within half an hour of the Judge’s decision being given on the day of the show; in the case of a joint objection a deposit shall be paid by each objector. Such objections will be considered by a panel of not less than three members of the Society appointed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman and their decision shall be final. Anonymity will not be available to any objector. The deposit may be forfeited at the discretion of the panel 2 The Society’s general by-laws and general regulations apply to all Entries, Exhibitors and persons attending the Show. 3 Exhibitors will comply with any directions or instructions given to them by the Society its Officers or Stewards, which the Society deems to be expedient. 4 Any animal considered by the Judge/Steward on the advice of the Veterinary Surgeons to be suffering from disease or lameness to be immediately removed from the class.The society and associated Show Veterinary Officers reserve the right to summon animal health officials if deemed necessary. All animals ridden anywhere on the Showground, rings or lorry parks, must only be ridden by a rider whose size and weight does not compromise the animal’s welfare. We are operating under the 20% rider weight guideline where the rider in full riding attire with full tack must be less than 20% of the animal’s body weight. This is based on a relatively fit, healthy animal, as an overweight animal is also a welfare concern. Every Exhibitor of Horses shall be liable to pay the society a sum not exceeding £100 and for liquidated damages, if any animal sent for exhibition is, in the opinion of any of the Show Veterinary Officers, affected with any contagious or infectious disease including ringworm, or with any form of disease likely to prove dangerous or detrimental to other animals and for each and every such case, if more than one. The aforesaid animal(s) will be disqualified and subject to movement restrictions must be removed immediately from the Showground. 5 It is the sole responsibility of riders to ensure that whilst on horseback, they wear correctly fitting, 3-point protective headgear which complies with the latest British Standard. The Society accepts no responsibility for any injury arising from a failure to comply with this regulation The exception to this rule is for classes 40 & 42 whereby a hat disclaimer must be collected from the entry tent and signed if the rider wishes not to wear a hard hat and carried with them whilst on the showground and presented as they enter the ring. All riders and handlers under 16’s will be required to wear hard hats when exhibiting. 6 No equine animal is allowed to be on the Showground unless entered in a class. Numbers need to be worn at all times whilst handling, riding or driving horses/ ponies in the warm ups and collecting areas. 7 Every exhibitor making entries for the show shall be deemed to have agreed to abide by these Rules and it is on this understanding only those entries are accepted. All entries to be made on line before the date specified in the Schedule. Showjumping and show entries will be taken on the day if an exhibit is already entered prior to entries closing but an additional fee will be charged. 8 The Society reserves the right to refuse any entry. 9 If for any reason the Horse Classes or the Show as a whole has to be cancelled ONLY half the entry fee will be refunded. In no other case will entries be returned. 10 In the event that a class or classes are cancelled by the Society (whether or not the Show takes place) then the only compensation due to an exhibitor will be a refund of the entry fee(s) paid by the exhibitor in respect of the class or classes that have been cancelled. 11 Except where this Schedule specifically provides otherwise for a particular class the following provisions will take effect. If there are less than six entries for any class, the third prize need not be given and if there are less than three entries, the second prize may be withheld. 12 Competitions qualifying for events organised by other bodies are offered in good faith on information provided by those bodies. No liability is accepted by this Society if those events take place in circumstances other than those originally stated or do not proceed. 13 Exhibits in all classes must be the bona fide property of the exhibitors and all exhibits must have been the property of, and in the possession of, the exhibitors at the time of entry.

Please remember to bring these passport(s) to the show and have them available for inspection if requested by Equine Veterinary Surgeon or Local Trading Standards Officers. If you require any further information please contact the DEFRA helpline or visit their website www.defra.gov.uk. 14 The entry fee for any animal entered and not exhibited will be forfeited. 15 In the event of a Judge or Judges failing to attend on Show Day, the Secretary or Chief Steward may appoint a Deputy or Deputies. 16 In any Class or Section which is affiliated to a Governing Body it shall be a condition of entry that exhibitors, whether or not members of that Body, shall comply with its Rules and will be liable to dope testing. 17 Every effort will be made to avoid classes clashing but should this happen for any reason; exhibitors must choose which class they want to compete in. No entry fees will be refunded. The Society will not be responsible for any loss where an exhibitor has made entries in more than one class and because of a time overrun it is not possible for him/her or the horse/pony to compete in one or more later classes. No claim for refund of fees paid or other loss, direct, indirect or consequential will be accepted or paid. 18.
