For the purposes of this article, mammals shall not be considered fit for transport if they are; a) Unfit animals (see DEFRA website Annex 1 Chapter 1 of Council Regulation 1/2005). b) Pregnant female animals that have reached the latest stage of gestation (within 10% of the estimated time of the gestation before birth) and for a period of one week after giving birth. c) Very young animals except if the journey is less than 100 km, eg calves of less than 10 days of age, pigs less than 3 weeks of age and lambs of less than one week. d) Calves of less than 14 days of age on journeys exceeding 8 hours will not be permitted.

26. CONTAGION Every exhibitor of any animal which to their knowledge is suffering from any contagious or infectious disease, or which has been in contact with any animal suffering as such, shall pay the Society £50 as compensation and for liquidated damages for each and every animal so sent. In addition, in the event of the Society’s Veterinary Inspector certifying that any animal sent for exhibition is in his opinion a possible source of danger, such animal shall be removed with due speed by the Participant, from the Showground, or be otherwise managed as per the Veterinarian’s direction with a view to averting the spread of contagion.

27. VETERINARY TREATMENT It is a condition of entry that the Society’s Veterinary Officers may treat any animal in an emergency and agree the best course of action (including dispatch if necessary) whether or not the owner/exhibitor is present. If emergency veterinary treatment is required at the Show, exhibitors will be responsible for the cost of any medication or drugs used in the treatment of their animals and payment must be made direct to the veterinary officer at the time of treatment.

Any animal that is receiving veterinary treatment at the time of the Show should not be entered unless the owner has had the animal examined by their own Vet and it is safe for them to enter the Show. However, animals still showing evidence of disease will not be permitted to be shown; the ultimate decision will rest with the Kent County Show Veterinary Officers.

28. MISUSE OF DRUGS The Society reserves the right to take blood and urine samples from any animal at the Show to test for the presence of illegal or banned substances.

Livestock will be paraded at the discretion of the Stewards and exhibitors are requested to see that sufficient stockmen are in attendance for this purpose. All prize winners must be paraded by attendants in white coats when requested or prize money will be forfeited.

Any prize winner who fails to parade without authority loses any prize money unless a certificate is produced signed by a Veterinary Surgeon or a substantial reason is forwarded in writing and handed to the Chief Steward responsible for the Parade giving such reasons. The Chief Steward will report to the Council of the Society, whose decision shall be final as to the forfeiting of any prize money.

Points will be awarded as follows; 1st - 8 points down to 1 point for 8th place.

Should there be equality of points when all jumping competitions have been completed, the winner will be the horse/rider combination with the most first prizes or, if still equal then the most second prizes and so on down the line.
