Devon County Show 2013 

Vehicle Entry at Blue Gate 

A deposit system will be in force for vehicles other than those transporting horses, due to 

the fact the Blue Park is now full to capacity. This will apply to ANY vehicle not carrying 

horses or ponies and wishing to gain entry to Blue Park to deliver tack or riding equipment. 

The Deposit System will work as follows. 

• During the Show (including Wednesday 15th May), there will be no vehicle entry or exit 

at Blue Gate between 2000 and 0600. 

• A deposit of £50.00 (CASH) is required on entry at the Blue Gate for non-horse 

transport vehicles wishing to deliver tack and other equipment. 

• The vehicle will have up to ONE HOUR to off load passengers and equipment. 

• All occupants, including the driver of the vehicle must be in possession of a valid 

admission ticket. 

• The £50.00 deposit will be refunded at Blue Gate, as long as the vehicle leaves within 

the time period allowed. Any vehicle leaving after the time period allowed will forfeit 

the deposit paid. 

• On exiting Blue Park vehicles may park in either Green or White Car Parks. All of the 

Show public car parks offer free parking. 

• Anyone attempting to exit the Showground at another Gate will automatically forfeit 

their deposit. 

• The deposit will be forfeited if the above conditions are not adhered to. 

• Goods or packages will not be accepted by Stewards or Officers of the Show on behalf 

of anyone and should not be sent unless you, or a representative, are available to

the entries to be insufficient. The Devon County Show also reserve the right to divide any class if they 

consider the entries warrant it.

18 Judges. THE JUDGES DECISION WILL BE FINAL. The Judges are instructed to withhold prizes 

where the entry is not of sufficient merit and in awarding prizes they are further instructed to make their 

awards according to the relative merits of the exhibits for breeding purposes and not to take into 

consideration the market value of the animals. No prize will be awarded to any unsound animal 

(lameness or other unsoundness from accidental injury shall not necessarily disqualify) and in every 

case where the Judges shall have a doubt as to height, soundness, or the correct age of any animal 

exhibited, they shall consult one of the Honorary Veterinary Surgeons of the Devon County Show and 

his/her decision shall be final. 

Exhibitors are not permitted to show an animal under a Judge who has been connected with the animal 

in any way, at any time. 

19 Measuring of Horses. Appropriate classes will be chosen at random for measuring. Horses entered 

in classes chosen for measuring shall be presented to the Honorary Veterinary Officer, in the presence 

of a Steward, either for measurement or for checking with their Joint Measurement Scheme Certificate. 

Times of measurement will be displayed at the Horse Office and must be strictly adhered to. 

The height of the Horse or Pony as measured by the Honorary Veterinary Surgeon on the day of 

the Show will be taken as correct unless a Life Height Certificate issued when the pony is seven 

years or older is held. Three year height certificates issued to young horses and ponies will not 

be accepted, except in the year of issue. 

Horse and Ponies that exceed the height restriction for their class are permitted to upgrade to the 

relevant height class, but not vice versa. 

20 Foals. Every foal must be the offspring of the mare with which it is exhibited. In cases where the foal 

has died, in the year of the Show, or is prevented from competing owing to illness or accident, the mare 

will be eligible to compete provided a certificate from a qualified Veterinary Surgeon is produced at the 

time of judging. This does not apply to the Pony Brood Mare and Hunter Brood Mare Classes where the 

foal must accompany the mare in the ring. 

FOALS MUST BE AT LEAST THREE WEEKS OLD AT THE DATE OF THE SHOW. 

Exhibitors wishing to show mares in foal rather than with foal at-foot should carry a certificate certifying 

the mare to be in foal. The Devon County Show reserves the right to inspect such certificates or, in the 

event of non-production of such certificates, may require the mare to be examined by one of the 

appointed Honorary Veterinary Surgeons. 

21 Riding Classes. Horses and Ponies exhibited in the Riding Classes are to be ridden during the 

Judging. Exhibitors will provide saddles for that purpose. The right is reserved to limit the number of 

entries, which the judge may ride. 

No rider may be led except in a leading rein class or where the schedule states may be led. 

23 Challenge Cups. Winners of Trophies offered by the Devon County Show may retain these until 1st 

March in the year following the award, when the trophies and boxes (if applicable) MUST be returned 

in good condition to the Devon County Show Secretary.

the wearing of a skull cap manufactured to the relevant current BSI Standard, which in the arena must 

be worn with a plain dark coloured peaked cover, or a riding cap to the relevant current BSI Standard. 

The Devon County Show recommends the wearing of protective headgear whilst leading any horse or 

pony.

of a suitable standard. 

28 Protests. All protests must be made in writing and delivered to the Devon County Show Secretary 

within half an hour of judging on the same day as the Class is judged. Every protest must be 

accompanied by a deposit of £50 from each person protesting, which shall be forfeited should the 

objections be decided by the Show’s Council (five of whom shall form a quorum) to be frivolous. 

29 Penalties. In any case where Exhibitors do not, in the opinion of the Stewards, conform to the Rules 

of the Association, the Stewards shall report to the Show Secretary, within 10 days from the close of 

the Show, who shall call not less than five members of the Show‘s Council to act with the Stewards, and 

who after hearing the evidence of the Stewards and Exhibitors concerned, shall have the power to act 

or report to the Show’s Council as they may decide. 

All persons making a false entry, or claiming a Prize by a false Certificate or otherwise breaking or 

infringing any of the Rules, Regulations or Conditions, may be prohibited from exhibiting or competing 

at any further Show arranged by the Devon County Agricultural Association. 

30 Animals Suspected of Suffering from Disease. After consultation with the Devon County Show 

Secretary, the Honorary Show Director and Chief Steward of Horses, the Honorary Veterinary Inspector 

may require the immediate removal from the Showground of any animal which, in his opinion, is 

suspected of suffering from disease or is unfit or unsafe to be exhibited. Such animal shall not be 

allowed to compete. Any animal showing evidence of ringworm will not be admitted to the Showground.

responsible or accountable for anything that may happen from any infectious or contagious disease, or 

any other cause, or circumstance whatever, to Exhibitors or their Servants, or to any animal or article
