Horse Societies
PLEASE NOTE: You may have seen recent discussions on social media about adults riding ponies in Breed Sections as Shows. A reminder of rules…
ER 6 – Affiliated Breed Societies rules cannot contradict or compromise the classes or events covered by these rules; and
CDE 11 d) Novice pony exhibits (except Novice pony stallions) may be ridden by a rider of any age, in novice pony classes only.
These rules were voted in by A&P Members and affiliated Breed Societies and have been in the Equestrian Rulebook for many years. We are only outlining this, so we can alleviate any Protest that may occur at a Show/Event for the upcoming show season.
As in past years, early in 2024 we will have our annual ZOOM open discussion call with Equestrian Breed Societies to discuss any concerns/issues you may have. This discussion will include the above two rules and may result in a remit(s) being forwarded by the Breeds to amend any rules they deem necessary.
In the meantime if you have any queries, please contact Leigh Taylor, RAS Equestrian Breeds Chair, P: 027 431 2092.
Thank you for your ongoing support with this, and we wish all Breed Members a great 2023.2024 show season.
