Owners must be a current FPS member to exhibit at this show
1 The Fell Pony Society accepts no liability for any loss of property or any accident or damage to any animal, vehicle, spectator or exhibitor, and all entries are accepted subject to this condition. Exhibitors are advised that all ponies should be insured for public liability.
This show is held under the Rules found in the FPS Handbook for Showing and Competing, with the exception of Class 38 which is under the rules of the Horse of the Year Show.
2 Ponies must not exceed 14 hh (142.2 cm) (1/2 inch (1.26 cm) will be allowed for shoes). All ponies of 4 years old and over must pass the measuring standard unless the exhibitor has an annual or life JMB Certificate. This must be shown to the vet on the day of the show. Measuring starts at 7.30 am prompt – ponies for Class 38 being measured first. Please note that all ponies must be measured by 9.00 am. The Show Committee has the right to refuse entry to any pony which has been ruled over-height at any previous Breed Show. Owners of ponies measured over-height on the day of the Show may appeal on payment of £20, which will be forfeited if the first measuring is found correct. When presenting their ponies to be measured, competitors must know their numbers from the catalogue.
3 Only paid up current members of the Fell Pony Society are eligible to enter ponies at the Breed Show.
4 Only Registered Ponies may be entered. No substitution of entries will be allowed. Ponies must be the bona fide property of the person, whose name appears on the passport, as owner, at the closing date for entries.
5 Please write the names of each pony to be exhibited in the group classes on the back of the entry form. Groups present on Show Day should declare to the Show Secretary on the field. Entry Fee: £2.00 per pony. Please note – only 3 ponies may be entered. Ponies must be named and those named ponies must be the ones shown. For this class, ponies may be entered on the day.
6 The committee reserve the right to alter Classes if necessary. Whilst every effort is made to avoid classes clashing, sometimes this seems to be inevitable on show day. The committee have added a proposed Timetable as a guide which you will find in this schedule. Exhibitors are advised to consult this when planning their entries. The organisers intend to follow this Timetable as closely as possible. Classes will not be held up for anyone.
Please remember that each Class takes an average of 40 minutes to run. Competitors will make the smooth running of the show easier if they are selective in the Classes that they enter.
7 Exhibitors are asked not to enter classes judged by their pony’s breeder. A judge may not judge a pony which holds their prefix or which has been bred by his/her immediate family. If the judge finds that, inadvertently, such a situation should arise, he/she should ask the steward to call the referee judge into the ring to place the pony in question.
8 All Cups and Trophies are perpetual and must be returned on or before the day of the Show. All winners must sign a receipt on claiming their trophy. This is for insurance purposes and confirms the winner’s responsibility both for the safety of the cup during the year that it is in his/her care, and for any repairs needed due to damage incurred during that period. For insurance purposes, all perpetual trophies are to remain in the UK.
9 Ponies need not be vaccinated against Equine Flu, but any pony showing signs of coughing or any virus complaint, will be asked to leave the Show Field.
10 A correctly secured current BSI standard skull cap/riding hat must be worn at all times that riders are mounted and within the Show Field and must be worn by juniors 14 years and under showing In Hand. Please note: In all Riding Classes correct riding attire should be worn – no spurs allowed and show canes must not exceed 30 inches.
11 Any objection or complaint must be made in writing in accordance with the Complaints and Disciplinary Procedure.
12 The class is closed and ponies will not be allowed into the ring:
In Hand – when the last pony has done its individual trot
Ridden & Driving – when the class goes into trot
13 Hair extensions, eye make up and hair dyeing are not allowed for ponies, random checks may be carried out throughout the day.
14 Stallion Discs are compulsory and required for all licenced stallions (in hand and ridden).
All stallions 3 years old and over must be licensed according to the Society’s Regulations.
15 Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times. No entry to the river at all (people, ponies or dogs).
Owners’ telephone numbers will be printed in the catalogue unless otherwise requested.
** If anyone can give some time to help either setting up the field for the show, taking it down afterwards or during the day of the show, it would be much appreciated. Contact the Show Secretary or the Office **
