12 HORSE SHOW RULES AND GUIDELINES Judge s Authority The Judge at a horse show shall have the final authority for all matters pertaining to the judging and rating of competitors, eligibility for participation in a particular class based on tack and attire, type of horse, and other issues relative to conduct within a class. Either the Judge or show management may stop a class if he or she observes an unsafe condition. * Judge or show management may disqualify a competitor in matters of unsportsmanlike conduct, practices that involve inhumane treatment of a horse; and/or any action on the part of a competitor that is disruptive or unsafe. Judge s Ethics and Conduct It is the responsibility of the judge to demonstrate professionalism and knowledge of equines. Politeness and courteousness must be demonstrated throughout the show. Judges should be prepared to answer any possible show-related questions. Judges should be familiar with the classes offered on the show flyer class listing prior to the show. Any comments to exhibitors, show management and staff, and spectators should be in a positive, courteous manner. Good judging depends on the correct observation and selection of the fine points of the best equine and/or exhibitor for that particular class. A judge should honestly, fairly, and impartially judge each equine/exhibitor being shown to them. A judge serves three interests: his own, the exhibitors, and the spectators, and should make it clear that the best equine/exhibitor win. A judge may not be an owner of any equine being shown to them, nor judge any exhibitor that has taken lessons from them within 180 days of the show date. A judge may not judge any horse that has been sold or trained and/or boarded by said judge within 3 months of show date. Schooling in Regular Classes Schooling in regular classes MAY be allowed at the Judge s discretion. However any schooling must be conducted in a manner that does not disrupt the class in any way. An individual who wishes to school their horse must be a paid entrant in that particular class and must wear their number upside down and conform to the general tack and dress requirements for the division of that class. *The Judge shall have final authority relative to a determination that the particular schooling activity is disruptive in any way. General Class Rules *Any individual walking a lead line exhibitor must be at minimum 16 years of age. *Stallions are permitted only if the rider or handler is 18 years of age or older. *ANY discernable bleeding shall be cause for immediate disqualification for the remainder of the show. *Any horse that is unsound in the opinion of the Judge shall be disqualified. *Registration papers must show ownership for at least 30 days for halter classes. *No cross entry in halter classes. *No loose horses permitted at any time. * It is the responsibility of each exhibitor to be at the paddock and checked in prior to their class. Competitors must wear their numbers on their backs or on BOTH sides of the horse so that the number is visible to the Judge at all times. Numbers must be displayed upside down when schooling. Proper attire and tack clothing which includes hats/helmets, long sleeves, long pants/breeches and boots will be required for all classes unless otherwise noted by the judge. *This may happen in the event of extreme temperatures. Long pants and boots will still be required however, cap sleeves then may be acceptable attire. Competitors may wear standard safety helmets in any classes and shall not be penalized for doing so. Coaching from the sidelines is allowed, if done as quietly as possible. Any coaching that is disruptive or overly loud is prohibited. The Judge and/or show management are fully authorized to request that it be discontinued if it is obnoxious or disruptive. A member or the member s family member exhibiting poor sportsmanship (e.g. negative verbal language, frustration or anger taken out on either their horse or another person) will not be tolerated. A warning will be issued on the first offense. If a second offense occurs, the member will be suspended from membership for one calendar year. 12

13 Age of Horse or Rider For the purpose of determining the age of the horse, the birthday of the horse is deemed to be January 1st regardless of the actual birthdate. Rider s age shall be determined, for all purposes in this rulebook, as the ACTUAL age the person is as of January 1st of that year. Birthdays later in the year do not change the age classifications for that show year. ENGLISH CLASSES Tack Standard English tack is to be used. Any standard English bit including any snaffle is permitted at judge s discretion. Any bit that is acceptable per any breed rules is considered standard for that particular breed in the context of this rulebook. Sidesaddles are permitted. Martingales and tie downs are prohibited. Curb chains may be used but must be flat, at least 1/2 in width, and lie flat along the jaw of the equine. No wire, rawhide, metal or other substance can be used. Dress Code Required dress includes breeches or jodhpurs, English boots, hunt cap or standard safety helmet, and long sleeved shirt or sweater. Saddle seat riders may wear appropriate hat or safety helmet. Jackets, whips, crops or English spurs are optional. Gaits All horses must perform all required gaits to be placed in English classes. At a minimum, this includes walk, trot (or intermediate gait) and canter. Additionally, the Judge may call for variations of the standard gaits and may request that the horse back up. WESTERN CLASSES Tack Horses shall be shown under standard Western saddle with Western equipment (Western sidesaddles permitted). Reins shall be split or rowel. Western shank bits with broken mouthpieces are permitted, ridden with one hand, for any age horse. Snaffles or nonmechanical hackamores (bosal) are permitted for horses age five and below. A rider shall not be disqualified for using two hands on the reins, but shall be penalized in the scoring of the class and placed no better than last place, unless the horse is five years old or younger and there is no shank on the bit (e.g. ring snaffle or bosal). Dress Code Required dress includes Western hat (or standard safety helmet), long sleeved shirt, long pants, and boots. Chaps of any sort, jackets, vests, and Western spurs are optional. Gaits Other than walk/trot classes, Western classes shall include walk, jog (or intermediate gait) and lope, in both directions. The judge may also require an extended gait and hand gallop. The judge may also request that the horses back up. HALTER General A halter class is a class of equines (as specified in the show class listing) judged on confirmation. It is open to all equines. Judges must choose the best representatives of the breeds that are before them. Equines should show a positive combination of balance, structural correctness, breed, and sex characteristics. They should be serviceably sound and in good condition. Transmissible weakness and/or unsoundness are strongly penalized. Equipment Equines should be shown in a halter and a lead. Some breed standards and/or discipline permit a bridle and some allow a whip (whips should not exceed 6 feet with no attachments). Lip chains are only allowed on Stallions 2 years and older. Class Procedure All equines must be judged individually - standing, at a walk, and trot/intermediate gait in a line or on profile. 13
