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.
