The SAA reserves the right to expel from the showground the party or parties concerned and, if relevant, for the exhibitor to be disqualified from the class and any future classes at the current or future shows, whereupon entry fees, prizes and charges will be forfeited. 20) OWNERSHIP OF EXHIBITS Stock entered for the Show must be the bona fide property of the Exhibitor at the time of entry and must be catalogued and exhibited under that name. This does not prevent an animal being sold after entry, provided it is exhibited in the name of the person who entered it. An entry or entries may be submitted on behalf of an exhibitor by an agent but in no case can the agent be described as the joint exhibitor unless he or she is bona fide, the joint owner of the exhibit entered. In the event of the death of an exhibitor between the date of entry and the date of the Show, the executors of the deceased will be deemed to be the exhibitor. In classes affiliated to Sport Horse Breeding (GB), if a horse changes ownership after the closing date of entries it can be exhibited in the name of the new owner, provided it is re-registered with Sport Horse Breeding before the Catalogue is printed. 21) CORRECTNESS OF ENTRIES Please check registration documents before submitting entries; the animal name MUST be that registered with the Breed Society under whose rules the class(es) are being judged and entries MUST be catalogued under the name of the registered owner and the relevant entry fee(s) paid. Due to the increase in the number of exhibitors failing to register their horses/ponies or become members of the respective breed societies in line with class regulations, and the resulting time and cost involved to the SAA in administrating these matters, all entries MUST be registered with the respective breed society/ies, where applicable, by the closing date for entries 23 March The draft catalogued entries will then be submitted to the breed societies for approval and any entries that are not registered or that have been entered in the wrong name will be withdrawn from the catalogue, the respective entry fees forfeited and no tickets issued. Animals will be catalogued under the name of the registered owner. If you are paying the membership rate of entry fees, the rate will only apply to the horses owned by and entered in that name. Each exhibitor will be held responsible for the correctness of his entries and these must be made in a proper manner on the official and appropriate form, signed by the exhibitor or an authorised agent, and comply in every respect with these By laws and conditions, and to be accompanied by the appropriate fee or fees as specified on the Summary of Entries form. The Association will not accept responsibility for the correctness of any 97

100 pedigree or other particulars inserted in the Show Catalogue, although every care will be taken to ensure accuracy. Entry fees will not be refunded to exhibitors who enter ineligible animals. 22) NOMINATION OR SUBSTITUTE ENTRIES Nominations or substitute entries will not be accepted after the entry closing date in any horse section other than British Showjumping Competitions and in that section, substitution will only be permitted in accordance with the Rules of British Showjumping. Any person who has made an entry in any class and fails to exhibit shall forfeit all fees and charges paid. 23) ABSENTEES For every animal, or pen of animals, entered for the Show and not exhibited, a fine of 5.00 will be imposed, unless the Secretary be properly informed beforehand that absence is caused by death, accident or disease of the animal or animals concerned. The amount of the fines so imposed will be deducted from the Prize Money, otherwise the exhibitor will be expected to pay the fine. In default the exhibitor s entries will not be accepted the following year. 24) CHAMPION AND SPECIAL PRIZES A Championship award is for the best exhibit, or best male or female of one breed, exhibited at the Show and entry for a Championship Prize is automatic. No animal is eligible to compete for a Special or Championship Prize unless it is entered in another class for which an entry fee has been paid. No entry fee is required in respect of Champion or Special prizes. 1 st and 2 nd prize-winners must, where eligible, parade for the Championship Prizes and exhibitors who qualify on the second day of the Show for the Supreme In-Hand Championship must go forward for the final, or they will be liable to forfeiture of their class prizes. 25) PRIZE MONEY Prize money offered relates to the number of entries catalogued in each class. See respective sections for details. Cash prizes offered by the Association will be paid by cheque soon after the Show. Prize cheques must be cashed within 6 months from the date of issue. Please indicate on the entry form who the prize money cheque should be made payable to if different to the exhibitor name. Any outstanding accounts due to the Association will be set-off against any prize money or other amount owed to the exhibitor. The Association cannot accept responsibility for Special Prizes offered by Breed Societies. 26) CUPS & TROPHIES The Association s Challenge Cups are offered subject to the winner giving a written undertaking to return the Trophy, at their own expense, in good condition at least fourteen days before the date of the next Show. All Cups and Trophies are fully insured by the Association. Cups/trophies will be engraved with the name given by the exhibitor on their entry form as their Catalogue Name (only one name per exhibitor). No other names will be accepted and alterations will not be made. The Association reserves the right to prevent any cup or trophy from leaving the Association s premises. 98

101 Every effort will be made to engrave trophies during the Show for those exhibitors who wish to hold the trophy for the year. However, for those not engraved at the Show, they can either be collected from Thurlow Champness in Bury St Edmunds or sent to the winning exhibitor when they are ready. Exhibitors are forbidden to have any cup or trophy engraved. Any exhibitor who ignores this ruling will be charged a substantial sum to cover the cost of restitution. 27) PARADES It is a condition of entry that all Heavy Horses and Cattle parade in the Grand Ring as indicated in the Programme or as directed by the Stewards, and any exhibitor or stockman who (without permission from the Steward of the section) is absent when called upon will be reported to the Trustee Board, who shall have the power to debar such exhibitor from showing at future Shows of the Association. IMPORTANT: Suffolk Horse and cattle exhibitors who do not appear with their animals in the Grand Parade on both days may forfeit their prize money and stabling/stall refund. 28) SMOKING Exhibitors MUST abide by the legislation banning smoking in enclosed public places for further information go to Smoking by persons in charge of animals during judging or during parades/displays is strictly prohibited. Because of the risk of fire, there is also a strict no smoking policy in all equine/livestock accommodation areas. 29) DRESS Competitors, grooms and attendants appearing with animals in judging rings must be dressed appropriately (no jeans or shorts) with appropriate headwear and footwear. Any person not complying with this regulation may be asked to leave the ring by the steward or the judge. 30) All exhibitors of stock must be competent handlers. All equine and livestock exhibitors must ensure supervision of their animals at all times whilst the animals are on the Showground. 31) JUDGES INTEREST IN ANIMALS Exhibitors are not permitted to enter an animal in any class which is to be judged by a person who has bred or has a financial interest in the animal. The onus on complying with this regulation rests entirely with the exhibitor. However, if through unforeseen circumstances, a judge has before him/her an animal which he/she has bred, owned, produced, had at livery in his/her yard or from which they have had financial gain, he/she shall place all the other animals in the class and shall then call in a referee judge to place the particular animal in question. 32) SUBSTITUTION OF JUDGES The Association reserves the right to substitute other judges for those mentioned in the Prize Schedule or make additional appointments without notification to Exhibitors and others. All entries are accepted on this understanding and there will be no refund of entry fees where substitutions are made. Notification of changes will be posted on the website at suffolkshow.co.uk/entries and, should time permit, exhibitors may be informed in writing. 99

102 33) PRIZES AWARDED Judges are asked not to award any prize in classes in which the animals exhibited do not possess sufficient merit. Where there is only one entry shown in a class the Judges may award the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th prize according to the merit of that entry. 34) JUDGES Judges are not to be spoken to by any ringside spectator or exhibitor during the time judging is taking place and the Stewards will be asked to stop this practice. 35) JUDGING ORDER Horses will be required in their respective Judging Rings in Catalogue order, as directed by the Stewards. 36) ROSETTES No animal will be allowed to wear or be displayed with any rosettes or ribbons other than those issued or awarded by the Association at the current year s Show. 37) PROTESTS In all cases of a disputed prize, the protest, in writing, shall be made to the Executive Director/Secretary within one hour after the class is judged. The Executive Director/ Secretary shall immediately give notice to the person against whom it is made, and shall report the same to the Honorary Director and Stewards of the Section concerned who shall, if possible, decide the case before the conclusion of the Show, otherwise it shall be referred to the Trustee Board, the decision of either the Stewards or the Trustee Board to be final. When an objection is heard, both the objector and the person objected to shall have notice. Any person or persons lodging a protest shall deposit the sum of with the Executive Director/Secretary. If the objection involves testing for prohibited substances, the deposit required would be increased to cover the costs of sampling and laboratory examination. If, upon investigation, the protest is considered frivolous, the sum thus deposited shall be forfeited to the funds of the Association. No member of the Trustee Board shall take part in the settlement of a disputed prize for which he is a competitor. 38) VETERINARY INSPECTIONS Veterinary Officers will be appointed by the Association and will be in attendance at the Duty Veterinary Officers office at the rear of the cattle centre on the Showground should they be required by the Judges or should a protest be made respecting any animal. If the Veterinary Centre is not manned contact may be made through the Woodward Centre during opening hours or via the Main Entrance Security personnel overnight. Animals will not be subject to a veterinary inspection on the Showground except when considered necessary by the Judge or unless otherwise stated in the Prize Schedule or legislation. The Honorary Director or any Senior Steward shall have the power to call a Veterinary Officer to examine any animal in the Showground and an Exhibitor shall be liable if an animal he has sent to the Show shall, to his knowledge, be suffering from any infectious or contagious disease and this may result in legal action. No animal under sedation will be admitted. Any animal sedated on the Showground must be transferred home. 100

103 39) VETERINARY CHARGES Exhibitors are liable for any costs incurred from treatment carried out by the Show s Veterinary Officers. In the event of death of an animal the costs associated with the disposal of the carcase are the responsibility of the exhibitor. 40) ISOLATION The Association s Veterinary Officers or those appointed by DEFRA are authorised to exclude or place in isolation any animals which, in their opinion, are exhibiting any symptoms of contagious or infectious disease, or any other condition which they consider warrants its exclusion or whose identity cannot be adequately established. In such event, a certificate recording the findings of the Inspector shall be handed to the person in charge of the rejected animal(s). Each exhibitor of livestock shall be responsible for payment to the Association for costs incurred as and for liquidated damages for any animal sent for exhibition which has to be placed in isolation because it is showing signs or symptoms of contagious or infectious disease, or any form of disease likely to prove dangerous to other animals. Exhibitors are responsible for ensuring in the event of the area from which entries are to be conveyed to the Show being declared a Movement Prohibited Area, that such entries are not sent for exhibition. 41) EMERGENCY VETERINARY TREATMENT It is a condition of entry that the Association s Veterinary Officers may on their own authority give to any animal such emergency treatment, at the cost of the exhibitors, as they may consider appropriate in the event that the owner or his/her representative cannot immediately be found. Owners shall be responsible for the costs of transportation for additional treatment if necessary. 42) MISUSE OF DRUGS The Association prohibits the administration to Show exhibits of tranquilisers and other substances which may in any way affect the performance of the animal in question or have the effect of making it behave in the Show Ring in a manner which is not natural. Any exhibitor (or his/her representative) who is found to have administered or permitted the administration of any such substance to any show exhibit will be dealt with at the Association s discretion. In addition, the matter will be referred to the appropriate Breed Society or Organisation. Exhibitors must not bring tranquilisers/sedatives on to the showground. The Association reserves the right for any appointed Veterinary Officer to take any necessary samples for subsequent analysis from any animal exhibited at the Show. 43) HEALTH & SAFETY REGULATIONS AT AGRICULTURAL SHOWS In accordance with the Health & Safety Legislation, all livestock exhibitors/stock attendants and equestrian exhibitors/competitors/grooms must comply with the above. Exhibitors need to be aware that this is a busy agricultural Show with large crowds and traditional displays performing throughout the Showground; total segregation from both the general public and noisy attractions cannot, therefore, be guaranteed. If an exhibitor has a nervous or highly strung animal he should consider whether it is prudent for him to risk bringing this animal to a busy agricultural Show. The Show environment can be upsetting for horses and livestock, even those of a 101

104 normally placid temperament. Horses or livestock with unstable or aggressive temperaments must not be brought to the Showground. When in the opinion of the Association s Officers, the Police, the Health & Safety Executive or other competent authority an animal s behaviour poses an immediate threat to life and limb of people in its immediate vicinity the Association reserves the right to instruct an authorised person to mitigate such threat in such a manner as shall to that authorised person seem appropriate, not excluding the humane destruction of the said animal and by exhibiting at the Suffolk Show exhibitors are deemed to authorise such person or persons to so act. Exhibitors by exhibiting at the Suffolk Show acknowledge and agree that the Company, its employees, servants and agents shall not be liable for any such matters as are referred to in this By-law and in particular but not by way of limitation that the Association shall not be liable for any loss or damage (whether direct or indirect or consequential) suffered as a consequence of the Association instructing such person or persons as are referred to above. Further, each exhibitor by exhibiting at the Suffolk Show hereby indemnifies and agrees to indemnify the Association, its officers, agents and employees from and against any and all liability, claims and costs which result therefrom.
