6 The Ridden Native Pony Championship Conducted by the Welsh Pony & Cob Society of Aust Inc. GUIDELINES FOR EXHIBITORS What is the Ridden Native Pony Championship: The Welsh Pony and Cob Society of Australia Inc. (WP&CS of Aust. Inc.) has set up the Ridden Native Pony Championship to encourage ridden classes for the British Mountain and Moorland breeds, Australian, Haflinger and Fjord ponies. The WP&CS of Aust. Inc. will support classes at Agricultural and WP&CS of Aust.Inc. run events which will be qualifiers for the Ridden Native Pony Championships. The highest placed pony of each breed in the class will qualify for the Championships. Why should I participate in the championship The championship gives the owners of native ponies the opportunity to compete against other Native breeds without Riding ponies & Galloway s which are specifically bred for the open ring. How the classes will work: The entrants are judged by 2 judges, one judge will judge the entrants under saddle for manners, paces & workout, the other in hand for conformation and adherence to the breed standards. The entrants will all work under saddle on the ring together initially as per a standard saddle class, with approximately a circle each of walk, trot & canter. All entrants will then line up. The entrants present one at a time to the saddle judge & perform the standard ridden workout. Upon finishing the standard ridden workout, each entrant returns to the lineup up where it is immediately stripped by its strapper. The entrants then present immediately to the in hand judge, present & then complete the standard in hand workout. The exhibit is re-saddled by the strapper and rejoins the line up. Each judge awards each exhibit a mark out of 50. The ridden judge awards up to 20 points for manners & paces & up to 30 points for the workout. The in hand judge awards up to 20 points for conformation & freedom of action, up to 30 points for breed standards. The Steward will then add together the Ridden Phase & In hand Phase points, the winner is the exhibit that gets the highest total marks. A Qualifying Card must be given to the highest place in each class of each breed, unless they hold a previous Qualifying Card for that season, in this instance the Qualifying Card goes to the next highest place. Based on the experience in the United Kingdom, the classes should take about the same time as other ridden classes as the 2 judges are judging at the same time. What do I need to know as an Exhibitor? You compete at a Qualifying show to secure your place at the Ridden Native Pony Championships by being the highest place of your breed in your class. You need to ensure that your Native pony is registered with the relevant breed society & is 4years old & over. Understand the Regulations for the Ridden Native Pony Championships. Familiarize the In hand & Saddle Workout. Presentation of a Native pony is similar to a Show Hunter, with plain leather browbands, bit type is optional. Attire of riders must be neat & tidy show ring wear; tweed coats are not compulsory but encouraged. Ensure your strapper is neatly attired, attentive to ensure that your pony is stripped & re-saddled efficiently. Ensure you receive your Qualifying card if you are the highest placed of your breed in your class, ensure this is forwarded to the Welsh Pony & Cob Society of Australia Inc. together with the relevant entry fee prior to the closing date for entry into the Native Pony Championships.
