With so much going on, we are confident that 2013 will be the best show yet! There are new additions to the timetable, notably the Future Elite Dressage Championship. This class will be held on Wednesday evening in the Andrews Bowen International Arena and will feature exciting equestrian talent highlighting team horses of the future. Complementing this new innovation is the Eilberg Dressage Master Class, as we welcome the Eilberg family as the presenters of this year’s popular Friday feature. Our International Show Jumping competitions, which boast a total prize-fund of £150,500, have received a boost this year with the thrilling Take Your Own Line Jump Off class now being approved for FEI Longines World Ranking Points. Continuing with the development of our long-term goal to judge each Mountain and Moorland breed individually, New Forest and Connemara Ponies have their own sections within the NPS/Baileys Horse Feeds M&M Ridden Championship competitions. There has also been an increase from three to four PRP Rescue Services M&M Working Hunter Pony Championship sections, with the new height divisions taken into account the traits of each native breed. Continuing from last year’s launch, the three HOYS Showing Award Series have been expanded. The Leading Sire and Leading Breeder Awards now include separate sections for Hunters, Show Horses, Coloureds, Riding Ponies and Hunter Ponies. The awards honour those who strive for excellence during the year in their efforts to qualify for Horse of the Year Show. They are The Breeders Guide Leading Breeder Awards, Kellythorpes Leading Sire Awards and the Tagg La Liga Awards for consistency. See page 11 for more information. Two displays are set to wow the audience. We are delighted to welcome The King’s Troop, Royal Household Artillery for the first time in 15 years. Their Musical Drive and booming gun salute certainly gets pulses racing. Luma the Lion, a popular display in Europe, will be making a British debut at the show. The small pony ingeniously disguised as the king of the jungle combines comedy, liberty work and some serious cute factor. Alongside the ever popular 3DWorming.co.uk Pony Club Mounted Games and Osborne Refrigerators Double Harness Scurry Racing is our world-famous Retail Village and our Parelli Interactive Feature area, while showing enthusiasts will enjoy the return of The Showing Register Master Class on Wednesday in the Caldene Arena. We would like to thank HorseQuest for their generous sponsorship of this schedule. Further copies are available to download at www.hoys.co.uk or www.grandstandentries.com.

All rights reserved. 37 38 Horse of the Year Show 2013 THE FEI CODE OF CONDUCT FOR THE WELFARE OF THE HORSE The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) expects all those involved in international equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI’s Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the horse must be paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences. 1. At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farriery and tack, and transportation. 2. Horses and Athletes must be fit, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete. This encompasses medication use, surgical procedures that threaten welfare or safety, pregnancy in mares and the misuse of aids. 3. Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event. 4. Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over. This covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement. 5. The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in their areas of expertise. A full copy of this Code can be obtained from the Fédération Equestre Internationale, HM King Hussein I Building, Chemin de la Joliette 8, 1006 Lausanne, Switzerland. Telephone: +41 21 310 47 47.
