Rules and Conditions of Entry
The show is confined to members of the Dales Pony Society, whose subscriptions are fully paid up at the time
of entry and whose ponies are registered in the Dales Pony Society Stud Book, excluding those ponies
registered in the X Section of the stud book. Misrepresentation of any exhibit other than its true colour or form,
will cause it to be banned from the show, and may cause its registration to be erased from the Stud Book and
the owner’s name to be removed from the membership list.
An exhibitor may not knowingly exhibit a pony bred, sold, leased or produced by the judge or his/her
immediate family.
The Society reserves the right to combine or divide classes as necessary.
One person only will be allowed in the ring with each pony.
All ponies must be shown clockwise round the ring. No exhibit is allowed to overtake the exhibit walking or

Exhibitors are not allowed to speak to the judge unless spoken to. Any matters arising must be reported to the

Any pony not under sufficient control, or being a danger to the public or other competitors, will be asked to
leave the ring.

Complaints: Any complaint must be reported to the stewards. There will be an appeal fee of £20, which will
be returned if the appeal is upheld following an enquiry. If the appeal fails, the fee will be forfeited.
It is the responsibility of every exhibitor to ensure that all riders and handlers are fully paid up members of the
Society. This is for insurance reasons.
Any exhibitor whose pony is causing damage to the showground, may be asked to leave the showground.
Breaches of the above, or any other Society rule, will be reported by the stewards to the Secretary, who will
then place them before the committee of the Society for a ruling.
Neither the Society nor any of its officials or servants, will be held responsible for anything that may happen,
from any circumstances whatever, to exhibitors or their servants, or the public or any spectator, or through any
animal or vehicle, exhibited at the show and it will be a condition of entry that each exhibitor shall not hold the
Society responsible, and that he or she indemnify the Society against any legal proceedings arising from any
such cause or circumstance.
