IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ANIMAL OWNERS INVOLVED IN SHOWING ANIMALS…
The Irish Shows Association would advise all animal owners to have their animals insured to have the
insurance cover extended to cover them while showing animals at Shows. We understand that it
costs very little or nothing at all depending on who you have insurance cover with. If you are one of
the few who do not have cover we would advise that you think about putting it in place for this
purpose. It may be well worthwhile.
The reason for us giving you this advice is to protect yourself in the event of your animal lashing out
and injuring someone or damaging someone’s property. If that were to happen, and it is established
that your animal was out of your control you may be held responsible, or partly responsible for any
injury or damage caused and may end up paying all or part of any settlement reached.

method the dams passport must bear a declaration dated, stamped and signed by the stallion owner
(or accredited practitioner where AI is involved) stating the date on which the dam was last covered
(or inseminated) and the name of the covering stallion.

the I.S.A. head office where the placing will be endorsed and officially stamped with the seal of the
Irish Shows Association as a permanent record.
