5 Disputes Committee. The owner of such animal will be considered equally liable with the rider of the animal. 29. RECOGNITION OF PENALTIES Bundaberg Show Society may recognize and act upon any penalty imposed by any other similar society, organization or body in Australia or any person or exhibit. 30. JUDGE S DECISION The Judge s decision is final and no discussion or correspondence will be entered into.

No exhibitor or member of the exhibitor s family or employed by the exhibitor or any other person on behalf of the exhibitor shall approach a Judge with regard to a decision made by the Judge unless they first obtain permission from the Committee person in charge or Steward of the Section. 31. DIRECTIONS OF STEWARDS All exhibitors must obey the directions of the Ringmaster, Chief Steward and Stewards. Failure to adhere to this may risk cancellation of entries, disqualification or fine at the discretion of the Society. Whilst in the main arena of the show, exhibitors and competitors will be under the direction of the Chief Steward and the Stewards in charge of the respective judging rings. 32. IMPROPER BEHAVIOUR No person (including competitors) shall do or permit or suffer any act or thing to be done during the progress of any event or prior or subsequent thereto in connection therewith, which the Stewards or Committee shall deem to be fraudulent, corrupt, improper or likely to cause other persons to be penalized. Any person causing a nuisance by loud comments on the decision of the judge or of otherwise unseemly behaviour will, after being cautioned, be expelled from the showgrounds and in the case of exhibitors be liable for disqualification. Any competitor who receives any physical or electronic communication aid during the judging of an event will have all nominations cancelled. The persons concerned may be asked to leave the showgrounds. 33. MEASUREMENT OF HORSES All ponies, galloways and hacks must be measured by the measuring steward before the horses will be allowed to compete in the events. A Certificate of Measurement will be provided for each horse measured. The measuring area will be at the opposite end to the washbays of the front row of stables. Please check at Secretary s office for times that the measuring steward will be in attendance. 34. HORSE STALLS - Competitors and Owners please note There is a limited number of stables available. Horses are stabled at the exhibitors risk. Bundaberg Show Society accepts no responsibility for the wellbeing of animals occupying stables during the Bundaberg show. DEFINITELY NO TELEPHONE BOOKINGS WILL BE ACCEPTED AS NO STABLE WILL BE ALLOCATED UNTIL PAYMENT FOR SAME IS RECEIVED AND THE APPROPRIATE FORMS ARE FILLED OUT (SHOWJUMPERS PLEASE NOTE THIS).

Visiting horses will be given preference over locals. CLEANING OF STABLES/YARDS It is a Bundaberg Regional Council condition of our renting the stables that competitors must clean their allotted stables when removing their horses and prior to leaving the grounds.
