however caused to the property of such person, or for any injury, fatal or otherwise, to any
such person. The 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 into the showground, or whilst entering or on leaving, or
being carried into or out of the said showground. The exhibitor shall be solely responsible for
any loss, injury or damage that may be done to, or occasioned by, or arising from any animal,
article or property exhibited or brought into the showground by him/her and he/she shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Society from all action, suits, expenses and claims on account
of, or in respect of any such damage or injury which may be so caused or occasioned.
R2 CONDUCT OF EXHIBITORS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES: All persons in charge of stock will be subject
to the orders of the Society’s Officials. Employees must be in attendance each day during
the Show, at least half an hour prior to the time appointed for the examination, exhibition or
parade of the animals in their charge. Exhibitors will be held responsible for the behaviour of
their employees and for the consequence of any misconduct of such employees. Any fine
imposed upon an exhibitor or his/her employee for infringing the regulations or disobedience
to the order of the Steward shall be recoverable from the exhibitor as a debt due to the
Society, and until such fines be paid shall debar the exhibitor from exhibiting at future shows

best practice at all times.

be stated in the space provided on the entry form and the additional fees remitted for each
entry.
R6 ENTRIES FOR SPECIAL PRIZES: No fee is required for such entries, though each exhibit shall have
appeared in the appropriate breed class and the fees paid for the same. This regulation does
not apply for entry of animals for Champion Prizes as all eligible animals are automatically

At this stage, changes may be made. If, when called upon to prove its correctness, he/she
fails to do so, the entry in question may be disqualified and any award made to it cancelled.
If it shall be proved that any exhibitor or competitor has knowingly signed an incorrect entry
form, or has attempted to obtain 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 Society. Exhibitors are to state on
entry forms if the exhibit has been imported from outside the United Kingdom. RANDOM
IDENTIFICATION CHECKS OF LIVESTOCK WILL BE MADE AT THE SHOW. NO SUBSTITUTIONS WILL
BE ALLOWED AFTER CLOSING OF ENTRIES.
R9 OWNERSHIP: All exhibits shall be bona fide property of the exhibitor at the original date of

R13 RIGHT TO REJECT ENTRIES: The Council of the Society reserves the right to reject or cancel the
entry or entries made by any person, if it shall deem fit to do so, and right to cancel any class
or classes, refunding any fees made in respect thereof. Owing to shortage of accommodation,
which can be provided to house stock at the show, the Council also reserves the right to limit
the number of entries in any class or section should this be necessary, with the exception of
the National Rare and Minority Breeds Show.
R14 CANCELLATION OF ENTRIES: In the event of there being fewer than four entries in any breed

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.
R32 CHANGE OF JUDGE: Should an exhibit be forward for competition, which was either bred or
previously owned by the officiating Judge, then a referee may be introduced at the request
of the Chief Steward of the Section. The onus of a horse being exhibited in a class judged by
a person who has 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.

weight, transfer to the correct weight class is permitted, and no additional entry fee will be
levied.

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

horse registration must be received in the SHB(GB) office within 14 days.
