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 2019 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.
EQUINE INFLUENZA
Horses must have been vaccinated to comply with the requirements of the primary course (1st vaccination and
then 2nd vaccination between 21 – 92 days later), followed by the first booster (150 – 215 days) and all subsequent
boosters. Horses may compete having received the primary course and prior to the first booster but not within 7
days of receiving a vaccine dose.
Horses must have been vaccinated within 6 months before the show but not less than 7 days of arriving at the
show.
Foals
In-foal mares that have already had vaccinations of primary Equine Influenza course should be vaccinated 4-6
weeks before the foal is due to be born.
