without the permission of the judge via the steward.<br />
31. If a handler removes a horse without the permission of the judge or steward the show<br />
organiser will levy a £100 fine on the handler. The exhibitor will be ultimately responsible for<br />

SPECIFIC TO RIDDEN CLASSES<br />
32. PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR No person shall be mounted on a horse on the showground unless<br />
he/she is wearing a correctly fitting hard hat. The AHS strongly recommends that hats conform to<br />
the standards EN1384 or PAS 015 and are correctly fitted with chinstraps. This is compulsory for anyone<br />
under 18 and for anyone taking part in Show jumping classes.<br />
33. A Novice horse is one that has not been placed first in three ridden classes at novice or open level<br />
at affiliated shows and/or has never qualified for HOYS prior to 1 January of the current season.<br />

novice classes in the UK.<br />
33.1 Pre-novice<br />

one that has not been placed first more than two times at an affiliated show. <strong>Horse</strong>s entered<br />
in Pre Novice classes may not enter Open classes at the same show. Pre Novice classes<br />
are not qualifiers for any championships. Being placed first in a PreNovice class does<br />
not change the Novice status of a horse under Rule 33 of the AHS Rules for Showing.<br />
34. Spurs must not be worn in Novice classes.<br />
35. Whips used in Ridden classes must not exceed 75cms (30ins). Side saddle excepted.<br />
36. No horse shall be ridden on the showground in<br />
19
draw reins, side reins or running reins. A breach of this rule may result in the horse being<br />
disqualified from its classes in which case entry fees and awards will be forfeited. Side reins may be used<br />
when lunging.<br />
37. Ridden class exhibits must wear conventional and well maintained English tack. The judge may<br />
refuse to ride or judge a horse if he/ she deems the tack to be unsafe or unsuitable.<br />
38. <strong>Horse</strong>s entered in ridden classes must be 4 years old or over. Age is calculated from the 1st<br />
January each year. (e.g. a foal becomes a yearling on the first day of January following that of its<br />
birth).<br />
39. The class as a whole should be ridden and not judged solely from the ground; the exception<br />
being any pony 148cm and under which must be asked for an individual show. In a mixed height<br />
class this exception must be communicated to all the exhibitors so that they clearly understand the<br />
position from the outset of the class. Individual shows will be required in Championships.<br />
40. Junior Rider Classes - restricted to riders who are 18 years and under on the first day of the<br />
show. The judge will not ride any of the exhibits. The horses will give a short individual show and<br />
be placed on their performance and the ability of the rider. The winners of these classes do not<br />
qualify for the main Championships.<br />
41. HOYS Qualifiers To qualify the horse must not have previously qualified during the current year<br />
and the exhibitor must have purchased an AHS Q Card displaying the name of the horse.<br />
If a class is split the top four from each section are eligible to ride off. The HOYS qualification<br />
will go to the highest placed, previously unqualified horse in the top four in the ride-off.<br />
42. Any exhibitor falling off within the show ring during the course of a class will be disqualified<br />
and asked to leave the ring dismounted.<br />
43. If a rider removes a horse from the ring without the permission of the judge or steward the show<br />
organiser will levy a £100 fine on the rider. The exhibitor will be ultimately responsible for<br />
ensuring payment. Exceptions may be made if the horse is seen to be unsafe and the rider is unable<br />
to attract the attention of the Steward.<br />
44. In ridden classes, a horse’s manners are important and Judges should refuse to ride<br />
unmannerly, unschooled or dangerous horses.<br />
45. <strong>Horse</strong>s must be trained to stand quietly to be mounted. Judges may choose to use a mounting<br />
block.<br />
46. Any horse in a ridden class which behaves in a manner which could cause, or result in danger or<br />
injury to any other horse or person in the ring, will be ordered to leave by the Steward on instructions<br />
from the judge of that class.<br />
47. LATENESS Exhibits which appear late (missing the walk around the ring) will be<br />
excluded from the class.<br />
48. RIDDEN CHAMPIONSHIPS All qualified exhibits must be ridden into the ring. However, if<br />
a rider has qualified more than one horse, that rider will be allowed, if they wish, to exchange<br />
horses and ride each horse for its individual display. A groom is allowed into the ring to hold<br />
the horse whilst not being ridden.<br />
RIDING IS A RISK SPORT<br />
Although all due care and attention will be paid to matters of safety and Health and Safety, persons attending<br />
the show do so at their own risk. The <strong>Scottish</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Group</strong> of the <strong>Arab</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> Supporters accepts no<br />
responsibility for injury or loss to persons or possessions, how so ever caused. It is strongly advised that<br />
persons attending the show have in place personal and public liability insurance cover.<br />

Our prestigious shows are known as some of the friendliest shows in the UK and attract a wide range of<br />
competitors, in numerous disciplines from all over Scotland and England. We are delighted when our<br />
sponsors attend our shows whether as a spectator or competitor seeing first-hand how our group helps to<br />
promote the <strong>Arab</strong>ian horse. Our sponsors are greatly appreciated by the show organisers, the <strong>Scottish</strong><br />
Committee and our competitors. In response to this, we have some very appealing packages in place to offer<br />
our show sponsors.<br />
Sponsoring a class costs only £30, in return for this you can place a quarter page advert in our show<br />
catalogue as well as having your name advertised beside the relevant class in the show catalogue/schedule.<br />
We are also happy to provide you with refreshments should you wish.<br />
If you would like to sponsor a Championship class, the cost for this is £125. In return, you can place a half<br />
page advert in our show catalogue, as well as having your name advertised beside the relevant class in the<br />
show catalogue/schedule. We will print the company name onto the tails of the winners rosettes and you are<br />
most welcome to present the relevant trophy and have photo opportunities with the winners should you wish<br />
as well as receive refreshments and nibbles courtesy of the SRGAHS committee. You are most welcome to<br />
display any leaflets and have a trade stand. Your name will be called out on the tannoy, further advertising<br />
your generous sponsorship.<br />
