Current 2021 Rulebook (PDF) W E L C To Our Members, O As we look forward to 2021, let us put 2020 in the rear view mirror. M It was a year of uncertainty and disappointment. We all dealt with the restrictions placed on our industry. Some of our quality shows had to E cancel and others had to put in major financial investments in order to meet requirements to allow our exhibitors a place to show. With vaccines on the horizon, hopefully, we can get back to close to normal. We will still have to be diligent. Please continue to wear masks, keep social distance, and avoid large gatherings. NEHC is looking forward to a great 2021. Please stay safe and adhere to all the regulations at the shows. It is with your help that we will continue to be able to compete. Have a good and safe year.

This year’s schedule is much the same with our Equitation Finals on Friday and Saturday evenings, the Platinum Performance / USHJA Green Hunter Incentive South Championships on Friday, and the National Derby and Pony Derbies being feature events.

  • 2016 Brittish Riding Pony Breed Standards and Showing Rules
    2016 Brittish Riding Pony Breed Standards and Showing Rules Secretary: Mrs Alicia M Hay Blairview, By Milnathort, KY13 0SF 07970 816416 www.npsscotland.co.uk BRITISH RIDING PONY BREED DESCRIPTION The British Riding Pony is a breed, established over a hundred years ago, originally by the Polo Pony Stud Book Society in 1893. However, 20 years later it became the National Pony Society and to this day it is the custodian of the Stud Book. The Stud Book was formed to encourage the breeding, registration and improvement of both Riding Ponies and at that time all the native breds too, though they now have their own stud books. The foundation blood lines of all the British Riding Ponies were Polo Ponies, Thoroughbreds, Arabs and the British Native Breeds (mostly Welsh or Dartmoor). An increasing number of the ponies now being registered with the NPS are the progeny of British Riding Pony sires and dams and through many generations of selective breeding a very high standard has been achieved. British Riding Ponies are of three categories or types – Show Ponies, Show Hunter Ponies and Sports/Competition Ponies. The Sports Ponies result from cross breeding with Sport Horses or Ponies. All types have outstanding quality while retaining the pony characteristics of good temperament, hardiness, soundness and surefootedness. They provide an ideal mount for today’s competitive riders and are successful in a wide variety of equine competitions and disciplines. The British Riding Pony is much respected and sought after world wide and some of the best blood lines have been exported, predominantly to Australia, New Zealand and America.

    1 RULES FOR SHOWING Edition 21 Revised October 2019 EFFECTIVE 3rd February 2020 PREAMBLE The Rules for Showing are produced specifically for use at CN or lower Status Events and have been drawn up in the broadest possible terms so as to allow Organising Committees affiliated to SAEF and SASA itself, as much freedom as possible in the management of their Events and in the preparation of their schedules. It is not possible to provide for every conceivable eventuality in these rules. If there is no rule to deal specifically with a particular circumstance, or if the nearest interpretation of the pertinent rule would result in an obvious injustice, it is the duty of those responsible to make a decision based on common sense and fair play, using all technical assistance available including official video-recordings (an official video recording is considered to be a recording made by a TV network or video company hired by the organising committee) thus reflecting, as closely as possible, the intention of these rules and of the General Regulations. These rules have to be read in conjunction with the SASA General Rules and Regulations, SAEF General, Veterinary and Anti-Doping Regulations which are uniform for all disciplines falling under SAEF jurisdiction. Although the FEI does not recognise the Showing Discipline as such, the General Regulations and rules of the FEI, unless otherwise stated in these rules, still apply and in consequence, these rules are supplementary to those of the FEI in this respect. In all equestrian sports the interests of the horse must be considered paramount.
