PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING EXTRACTS FROM THE RULES AND REGULATIONS:

VACCINATIONS: All horses and ponies on Moreton Showground must have up to date Equine Influenza and Tetanus vaccinations. The requirement for the first 3 vaccinations is as follows: the first 2 vaccinations 21 – 60 days apart, a third booster between 100-180 days, and an annual booster vaccination within 365 days thereafter. Horses may compete having received the primary course and prior to the first booster but not within 7 days of receiving a vaccine dose. We strongly advise that due to the current Equine Influenza Outbreak that all equines are moved to 6 monthly vaccinations. PASSPORT CHECKS WILL BE CARRIED OUT AT THE SHOW AND HORSE/PONIES WITHOUT THE CORRECT VACCINATIONS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO UNLOAD AND WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE SHOWGROUND.

HORSE PASSPORTS: A Defra acceptable equine passport must accompany all horses and ponies on showground; SPOT CHECKS WILL BE CARRIED OUT.

TIMING: Classes may commence at or after the published time. The Society will not be responsible for any loss where an exhibitor has made entries in more than one class and because of a time overrun it is not possible for him/her or the horse/pony to compete in one or more later classes. No claim for refund of fees paid or other loss, direct, indirect, or consequential will be accepted or paid.

CONDUCT: If a competitor’s behaviour or actions are deemed to be inappropriate by the steward, judge, or any other show official, or it is believed that a competitor, or its groom’s behaviour is impairing the welfare of the animal, this includes someone riding an animal whose size and weight is compromising its welfare, the Horse Chairman shall have the power to disqualify the animal and depending on the severity of the actions, ask the offender to leave the Showground and recommend that the Council shall refuse that person’s entry for future Shows. Should an exhibitor be aggrieved at such action he/she may lodge an objection in writing. Such objections will be considered by a panel of not less than three members of the Society appointed by the Chairman or Vice-Chairman and their decision shall be final.

MORETON-IN-MARSH SHOW 2027 WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY 4th SEPTEMBER 2027

Rule 279. Table A. Speed 325mpm. Start Height 1.30m.

For registered horses to be ridden by Adult, Associate or Junior Members. The course for this competition comprises six vertical obstacles placed in a straight line with two non-jumping strides between each obstacle. In indoor arenas the first two obstacles may be placed on one straight line and the last four obstacles on a different straight line. The top element and fill of each obstacle must be poles only. No obstacle may be set at a lower height than the obstacle preceding it. The competition is judged under Table A not against the clock with a time limit of two minutes. In the event of a disobedience, the competitor must restart the course at the obstacle where the error occurred but may make his/her approach at an angle from outside the space between the obstacles and is not required or allowed to take any of the previous obstacles again. If an obstacle is disturbed as the result of a disobedience, the procedure in Rule 251.4 must be applied, but no time penalty is incurred. In the event of equality of faults for first place there will be up to four successive jumps-off not against the clock. The first jump-off must be over all six obstacles, but the course may be reduced progressively for each further jump-off to a minimum of three obstacles by removing in succession first, second and third obstacles. The Judge at his/her discretion may terminate the competition after the third jump-off. In the event of equality of faults in the final jumpoff competitors are placed equal and divide the prize money. Competitors who withdraw from or retire during a jump-off are placed equal with those who are eliminated in the same jump-off (Rules 203, 204).
