Rules and Conditions of Entry
The show is confined to members of the Dales Pony Society, with the exception of the Horse of the Year Show qualifier (see above for alternative organisation memberships), whose subscriptions are fully paid up at the time of entry.
All ponies must be registered in the Dales Pony Society Stud Book, excluding part-bred and those ponies registered in the X Section of the stud book. Misrepresentation of any exhibit other than its true colour or form, will cause it to be banned from the show, and may cause its registration to be erased from the Stud Book and the owner’s name to be removed from the membership list.
An exhibitor may not knowingly exhibit a pony bred, sold, leased or produced by the judge or his/her immediate family.
The Society reserves the right to combine or divide classes as necessary.
All ponies must be shown clockwise round the ring. No exhibit is allowed to overtake the exhibit walking or trotting in front. No exhibit will be allowed to enter or leave the ring without the permission of the steward.
Exhibitors are not allowed to speak to the judge unless spoken to. Any matters arising must be reported to the ring steward only.
No whips with lashes in all classes. Whips or canes must not exceed an overall length of 76 cms (30 inches) in the Horse of the Year Show NPS/Baileys Horse Feeds qualifier.
No spurs are allowed.
The Dales Pony Society requests that the best appropriate headgear will be worn, correctly fitted and with the harness fastened at all times when mounted. Hats should be to the standard PAS 015 or ASTM F1163, with either a kite mark or S.E.I. Anyone not following this recommendation will be asked to dismount and if they are in the ring they will be asked to leave the ring. The new BS/EN standard will be allowed once it has been approved.
Any pony not under sufficient control or being a danger to the public or other competitors will be asked to leave the ring.
Foals: All foals exhibited must be by a licensed and registered Dales stallion and must be 3 weeks old or more on the show day. All foals must be haltered at all times.
Stallions: All stallions in Classes 1 and 2 must be licensed and in full stallion tack at all times.
Novice Handler: Defined as 18 years and over, not to have won a first prize in an In-Hand class before 1st January in the current year
Trophies will be returned to the Society on receipt, for engraving, and they will then be presented to the winners when ready, but must be returned to the Society on request.
Complaints: Any complaint must be reported to the stewards. There will be an appeal fee of £20, which will be returned if the appeal is upheld following an enquiry. If the appeal fails the fee will be forfeited.
It is the responsibility of every exhibitor to ensure that all riders and handlers are fully paid up members of the Society. This is for insurance reasons.
Any exhibitor whose pony is causing damage to the showground may be asked to leave the showground.
Breaches of the above, or any other Society rule, will be reported by the stewards to the Secretary, who will then place them before the committee of the Society for a ruling.
Neither the Society nor any of its officials or servants will be held responsible for anything that may happen, from any circumstances whatever, to exhibitors or their servants, or the public or any spectator, or through any animal or vehicle, exhibited at the show and it will be a condition of entry that each exhibitor shall not hold the Society responsible, and that he or she indemnify the Society against any legal proceedings arising from any such cause or circumstance.
