It is mandatory for all exhibitors to present either 

the original or colour photocopy (both sides) of 

their horses registration papers to the Official 

Measurer or their steward at the National Show 

for identification purposes. 

ALL HORSES MUST BE MEASURED BY THE OFFICIAL 

MEASURERS – NO EXCEPTIONS. Measuring will 

take place in an area and time designated by 

the Show Management. 

After the horse is setup for measuring by the 

handler, you may not move or touch the horse 

ie. stretching head up / forward, moving feet, 

pressing down on any part of the back until the 

measurer has removed the measuring stick. 

The measuring steward shall record the height 

of the horse. The measuring sheet shall be 

given to the exhibitor to allow them to record 

the heights of their horses for class confirmation. 

This sheet must then be presented to the Show 

Office to obtain exhibitor bags (containing 

exhibit numbers). 

Any exhibitor wishing to have a horse remeasured 

may bring the horse back two (2) 

times to be measured and may accept any of 

the measurements taken. 

Once measurement is accepted by the 

exhibitor the horse shall not be re-measured 

unless a protest has been lodged. 

Please bring sufficient handlers to the measuring 

bay to assist with rugs to prevent delays. All rugs 

must be removed for measurement. 

Failure to arrive in time for measuring without 

prior arrangement to Show Management may 

incur a $50 fee imposed for each horse to be 

measured. 

Horses must be measured before they will be 

allowed to compete. It is the responsibility of the 

exhibitor that all horses compete in the correct 

height class as per final measurement.

Coloured Classes 

Horses may only enter ONE colour class. 

Judging is based on PHENOTYPE (the way the 

horse looks) and not GENOTYPE (the genetic 

colour of the horse). Judging is 80% colour and 

20% conformation. 

Non-pinto silvers and taffies enter the Taffy class. 

Pintaloosa’s and horses with multiple patterns 

and/or colours (i.e. dilute pinto, taffy appaloosa 

etc..) should enter the Any Other Colour class.

1 st 1 point 4 th 4 points 

2 nd 2 points 5 th 5 points

All unplaced horses in the class get 7 points. 

Scores are tallied and the horse with the lowest 

score is deemed the winner. The horse with the 

next lowest scored is deemed second and so 

on. 

A casting vote judge will be nominated for 

each class prior to the calculation of results. The 

casting vote judge will normally rotate between 

the judges for each class. In the event of a tie, 

the horse that placed higher by the nominated 

casting vote judge shall be deemed to have 

placed higher than the horse on the same 

number of points. 

Sashes are awarded to 6 th place. Prize pool is 

based on entry fee and number of exhibit

height changes and scratching). Amounts are

To be held over three days as part of the 2012 

National Show. The rules/point system is based

adjusted for miniature horses. 

Open to senior horses only - mares, geldings 

and stallions aged 3 years and over (actual 

age). 

Competitors must be aged 13 or over on the first 

day of the event. 

$500 First Prize 

How it works 

Eventing is a test of your horse’s fitness, 

athleticism, stamina and obedience. It consists 

of three phases: 

1 x Dressage In Hand test 

1 x Show Jumping round 

1 x Cross country/Obstacle course 

The winner is the competitor with the highest 

total score across all three components. 

Each individual competitor may enter only one 

horse. The same combination of horse and 

handler will complete all three phases once 

only – so choose your best horse ! 

The horse must be handled by the same 

competitor for each of the three (3) phases. As 

the Show Jumping phase will be held as part of 

the standard Show Jumping class (performance 

program), horses that are also entered in Show 

Jumping may be handled by a different person 

for second and subsequent rounds of Show 

Jumping only. 

State of Origin – the challenge is on ! 

As part of the IMHR inaugural Three Day Event, 

a perpetual state-based trophy will be 

awarded. The results of the three highest scoring 

horses from each state (state of current 

residence of horse) will be totalled to determine 

the winning state. 

Equipment 

No bits or whips are to be used in any of the 

three phases. 

Dressage Phase 

Marks are allocated for presentation. 

It is recommended that horses complete the 

dressage test in a leather or webbing halter and 

brow-bands may be worn. 

Halters must sit flat against the horse’s nose - no 

buckles/knots are to rest on the horse’s 

noseband. 

Rope halters must not be used. 

No leg bandages in dressage. 

The horse may have its mane and tail braided. 

Handlers may choose between western or 

English attire however all handlers must wear 

safe, covered footwear AND gloves. Hats are 

optional. 

Cross Country/Obstacle & Show Jumping 

Normal performance gear and handler attire 

may be used. 

Leg bandages/ bell boots may be worn. 

Download the full Three Day Event information 

booklet from the IMHR website. 

One Entry Fee – Three Events 

One entry fee covers all three events for the 

Three Day Event however as only the first round 

of Show Jumping is included any exhibitor 

wanting to continue in the National Champion 

Show Jumping class must pay the fee for that 

event.

Travel Tips For Your Horses 

Article courtesy of Dr John Kohnke from ‘Health 

Care and problems of Horses, 9th edition’ 

published by Virbac-Vetsearch. 

1. Always ensure that horses are 

cooled down, and given a drink 

before long distance travel. In very 

tired, dehydrated or stressed horses, 

long distance travel of over 12 hours 

duration should be delayed until 

they recover, preferably at least 

overnight. 

2. Ensure ventilation is sufficient to 

keep air flowing without causing 

chills. An adequate rate of air 

change is important in large 

transports carrying a number of 

horses over long distances. 

3. Provide dampened feed or pellets 

to reduce dust and airborne 

contamination. Lightly dampen hay, 

in particular, by wrapping a biscuit 

of hay in a wet chaff bag for 2-4 

hours to reduce dust and other 

airborne contamination. This will 

increase palatability of hay and 

provide additional moisture during 

long trips. Locate feeders below 

chest bar height. 

4. Do not tie the head too short - give 

the horse as much space as possible 

to feel comfortable and be able to 

put its head down. Stallion dividers 

may be required to prevent horses 

squabbling during transport. 

6. Ensure the trailer is in good condition 

and level on the towbar. Drive 

steadily and smoothly. Keep the 

back flap down to reduce intake of 

swirling dust on dirt roads. 

7. Stop every 3-4 hours and open the 

trailer doors. If possible, unload and 

allow the horse(s) to walk around, or 

preferably graze or feed with the 

head down for at least 15-20 

minutes. Provide access to drinking 

water at rest stops. A 60ml dose of 

Recharge over the tongue will 

replace electrolytes and stimulate 

drinking. 

8. If a horse has competed or raced 

hard, give it a day off after a long 

trip. Turning the horse into a grassy 

green paddock to graze with its 

head down for a few hours, or 

putting dampened feed in a bin at 

floor level, will encourage drainage 

of the respiratory system. 

9. After travelling a horse over a long 

distance, keep a careful watch for 

loss of appetite, depression, fever 

and obvious discomfort for the first 

few days. It is a good idea to 

monitor the horse's temperature 

morning and night for at least 3 

days after long trips, and seek vet 

advice if the temperature is 

elevated (the normal body 

temperature of an adult horse is 

36.5-38.5°C). 

5. Avoid transporting horses suffering 

from respiratory disease. If a horse 

has symptoms, do not transport it as 

it may infect others during the trip.
