Society, its Officers and Servants shall not be responsible for any accident, damage or loss however
caused that may occur to any exhibitor or his employee or to any animal, article or property brought

Show, at least half an hour prior to the time appointed for the examination, exhibition or parade of the

a prize by unfair means whatsoever, all awards made to such an exhibitor or competitor in any class
or competition may be cancelled and he/she may be disqualified from exhibiting at future shows of the

JUDGES:
R31 JUDGES: The Judges are instructed to withhold prizes where the entry is not of sufficient merit, and
in awarding prizes the Judges are instructed to make their awards according to the relative merits of
the exhibits for breeding purposes in breeding classes. If in the opinion of the Judges any animal
appears to be unfit for breeding purposes, the Judges shall be at liberty to have the animal examined
by one of the Society’s Veterinary Surgeons, whose opinion shall be considered final and conclusive,
and if he/she so directs, the animal will be disqualified from taking a prize which might otherwise be
awarded to it. No person other than a Steward or authorised Official of the Society shall enter a ring
when judging is in progress, nor shall have any communication with the Judges during the time of
judging, and all exhibitors and their agents acting in opposition to this regulation shall forfeit such prize
as may be awarded to their exhibit.

had a financial interest in the animal or which has stood in his stable etc. must be on the exhibitor.
The exhibitor will know who is judging from the schedule, whereas the Judge will not know which
animals are coming before him until he arrives in the Ring. If there is an unforeseen change of Judge,
then the exhibitor should stand down from the class and entry fees will be refunded. EVERY EFFORT
WILL BE MADE TO INFORM EXHIBITORS OF A CHANGE IN JUDGE.
R33 PARADES AND JUDGING: Any exhibitor or employee refusing to bring their exhibits on parade at a
specified time when requested by the Stewards to do so shall be liable to forfeit to the Society any

days of an EI vaccination. Foals should commence vaccinations at 6 months old and must have
received two primary vaccinations before attending the show. Foals 6 months old and under are
exempt. This Rule may be subject to change from guidance from the FEI/BEF and any changes will
be notified via the Showing Council and ASAO websites. Random checks on vaccinations will be
made.
R98 FARRIER: A farrier will be in attendance each day of the show from 07.00 until 18.00.
R99 FALL OF HORSE/PONY OR RIDER: A fall of horse/pony or rider during any class will result in
elimination. The rider must not remount in the ring and should see a medically qualified attendant
before remounting.
R101 OWNERS/HANDLERS: All horses must have a competent person in charge.
R101 ALL STALLIONS: are to be stabled in separate accommodation for Health & Safety reasons.
R102 DRESS CODE: Grooms/Attendants appearing with animals in judging rings must be of smart
appearance and in proper dress code (not jeans), with appropriate headwear,
R103 MOBILE PHONES: The use of mobile phones is not permitted within the Collecting and judging Rings.
R104 TIMETABLE: Classes may commence at or after the published time. 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 over run 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 accept or paid.
Once a class has commenced trotting it is deemed the class is closed and no further exhibitors may
enter the ring.
R105 SHOWING: In some circumstances exhibitors may be asked to perform their show two at a time. The
Judge may choose to organise a set show for exhibitors to perform.
R106 SUITABLY MOUNTED - All animals ridden anywhere on the Showground, rings or lorry parks (day
or night), 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 bodyweight. This is based on a relatively fit, healthy
animal, as an overweight animal is also a welfare concern. Welfare Officers, appointed by the Three
Counties Agricultural Society, will be monitoring the Equine Areas and have the power to ask riders
deemed too large to dismount. If riders re-mount after being approached by the Welfare Steward,
they will be disqualified. Only riders competing in the relevant class may be in the Collecting
Ring.
R107 SENSORY WHISKERS - are the hard hairs located on the horse’s muzzle and around the eyes, also
known as ‘whiskers’ that are used for sensation. It is recommended that horses should not have
whiskers trimmed or removed (other than for veterinary purposes or with a vet’s certificate). Brood
Mares, foals and youngstock must present with no evidence of whiskers or sensory hairs
having been removed.
R108 EQUINE OBESITY - must be avoided and all horses / ponies exhibited should be fit for purpose for
the event or class they are competing in. Having a horse / pony which is obese is extremely detrimental
to its welfare and animals carrying too much fat are at a significantly increased risk of developing
serious health and welfare issues.
