RULES
1    Unaffiliated classes are open to horses or ponies who are not registered or affiliated to the relevant society
     in 2021
2    No horse/pony bred by or purchased from the yard of a judge is to be shown under that judge.
3    All riders when mounted must wear a correctly fastened hat, where appropriate, that meet the safety
     standards PAS015 or other PAS approved hats or have a BSI Kite Mark. Stewards will enforce this rule: those
     failing to comply (no matter where the rider may be on the showground) will not be allowed to compete.
4    Earrings and body piercings must not be worn or must be covered with adhesive tape.
5    All objections must be delivered in writing to the horse section secretary (Show Jumping Secretary for
     classes 100-120) within one hour of the class being judged with a deposit of £40 which will be forfeited if
     the objection is considered frivolous or lost. Stewards shall when possible deal with objections and when
     necessary call the Veterinary surgeon to examine the exhibit. If the decision is not accepted by the objector,
     the issue will be dealt with by the Section Committee at the next meeting after show day.
6    All exhibitors are responsible for their animals at all times. No animal is to be left unattended when tied to
     the outside of Lorries or trailers.
7    All exhibitors must proceed at WALKING PACE unless in designated exercise/warm up areas.
8    Space does not allow for a specific area to lunge a horse or pony; therefore, lunging is not permitted
     anywhere on the show field in the interest of public safety.
9    Classes with fewer entries than three, may be cancelled or amalgamated with another class, at the Horse
     Section Secretary’s decision. Exhibitors will be notified at least 5 days before show day, if this occurs. In
     classes with four on less entries, prizes will only be awarded to 2nd place.
10   Joint measurement height certificates will be accepted where proof of height is required.
11   In Showing, a novice animal is one that has not won a first prize of £5 or more prior to the entries closing
     date.
12   All entrants will receive in the post 1 pass for the rider plus 1 pass for the driver of the vehicle and 1 vehicle
     pass. Any other passes must be requested from the Horse Secretary prior to show day. No passes will be
     refunded on the day without agreement with Secretary prior to show day. EXCLUDING SHOWJUMPING
     ENTRANTS.
13   POSTAL ENTRIES CLOSE ON AUGUST 20TH 2021 LATE POSTAL ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IN ANY
     SHOWING CLASSES.
     ONLINE ENTRIES CLOSE ON AUGUST 30TH.
14   The organisers of the show have reasonable precautions to ensure the health and safety of everyone present.

     accidents from occurring and must obey the instruction of the organisers and the officials and stewards.
15   GRAND PARADE and BEST IN SHOW. All Champions and Reserve Champions in the Horse and Pony section
     showing classes will participate in the Grand Parade. Only Champions will go forward to the ‘Best in Show’.
     ALL Side Saddle riders and Fancy-Dress competitors are invited to take part in the Grand Parade.
16   Although a Public Address System is provided, the show has no responsibility for ensuring sound coverage
     across the whole showground. It is therefore each competitor’s responsibility to ensure they present
     themselves and their exhibit in the ring at the time of their chosen class.
17   A fall of horse or rider in any of the ridden classes will result in elimination of the rider from that class. The
     rider is strongly advised to see the Doctor before continuing to compete in any other classes. This rule will
     apply in 2021 to all ridden classes except those affiliated to British Show jumping, whose own rule on this
     subject will apply in these British Show jumping classes. (213:1 One fall eliminates horse and rider. The rider
     may not attempt another fence but must leave the arena immediately, mounted or dismounted. 213:3 The
     first fall of the horse and/or rider after entering the arena before completing the course incurs elimination in
     any competition.)
18   REFUNDS: Refunds of entry fee in showing classes will be considered providing an appropriate veterinary
     certificate is made available. The show reserves the right to retain £2 per animal to cover admin costs.
19   All competitors, when riding on the showground must wear the relevant and clearly visible back number.
20   Dogs are not encouraged in the horse area and must be kept on a short lead.
