RULES FOR CRABBET CLASSES (RIDDEN AND IN-HAND),
AND FOR THE NATIONAL CRABBET IN-HAND CHAMPIONSHIPS.
RULES FOR IN-HAND CRABBET CLASSES
- To quality for entry into these classes the horse must be registered with the Arab Horse Society, and the exhibitor must send in EITHER a copy of a letter from Alexia Ross or Caroline Sussex confirming that the horses entered have 75% + Crabbet breeding OR a copy of a Heritage Certificate, which shows 75% or above Crabbet breeding and issued by the Crabbet Organisation.
- If the Certificate states that the horse is under 75% Crabbet breeding or there is no letter the entry will be refused and returned to the exhibitor. The percentage can be found at the bottom of the Certificate.
- All horses forward MUST be shown in a natural manner. The pose must be natural, i.e. one fore leg slightly behind the other and one hind leg slightly behind the other. The head should be held with the neck showing natural arch and curve of throat line, so that the neck is not uncomfortably stretched or raised. The horse should be trained to stand sensibly in this position with expression of interest in the handler. A frozen pose is unacceptable.
- Any unnatural posing, flicking with a whip or circling when being run out, will result, at the Judge’s discretion, in the horse being judged as though no presentation or display had been possible and therefore penalized accordingly.
- Whips must be no more than the length of a cane ie 65 cms. Halters can be modern as long as they are comfortable for the horse.
