pm daily to enable them to be prepared in readiness for the next day's exhibitors. However, the next day's
exhibitors will not be allowed to enter the stables until 7.30 pm daily. For example, if an exhibitor was
showing on Tuesday, they would require a Monday stable which would accommodate the equine from
7.30 pm Monday until 7.00 pm Tuesday.
The Society provides an alternative stabling arrangement for any entries that it cannot accommodate
on the Showground. The stabling site is called Wernfawr and is a mile away from the Showground. All
necessary facilities are provided and the stable fee at the site is £25.00 (including VAT) per stable, per
night. Exhibitors must complete the relevant section of the entry form to confirm whether they wish to be
considered for the Wernfawr stabling site.
Stables are to be used for equines only. In cases of emergency, the Society will not be held responsible
for the equines if they have to be let out of their stables.
If exhibitors use stables that have not been booked, paid for or allocated to them, they will be barred from
booking stables for a period deemed appropriate. Stables are not transferable between
exhibitors. The Society reserves the right to re-allocate stables at its discretion. Stable fees may be
refunded if cancelled, in writing and received before Friday, 24 June. No stable fees will be refunded
after this date.
Any horse that qualifies for the Ridden, In-Hand or Driving Championships (Thursday, 21 July 2016) may,
at the discretion of the Assistant Honorary Director of Horses, receive a stable free of charge for the
night(s) required. The Exhibitor MUST gain a permission slip from the Assistant Honorary Director of
Horses in the Main Ring Control Tower once they have qualified for the Championships, and supply this
to the Society’s Horse Foreman in order to gain their stable.

The 2016 RWAS Horse Young Handler Competition will encompass all four Welsh Sections and the
Welsh Part-Bred Section. No stallions or mares with a foal will be permitted. All horses in this
competition MUST be registered with the Welsh Pony & Cob Society and be entered into one of the
showing classes in order to compete. The purpose of the competition is to find the best Young Handler

A preliminary round will be held in the Horse Ring at 4.30 pm on Tuesday, 19 July 2016.
Competitors must enter this competition by the closing date of entries, 27 April 2016 stating their

the ring. Those competitors not wearing an armband, or who fail to declare will not be permitted to enter
the competition regardless of whether they had entered on their entry form.
The Competition will be split into two age categories - 14-16 years of age and 17-19 years of age by the
first day of the Show. The judges will choose the top four young handlers from each age category
without giving the final placings. This will result in eight finalists going forward to the Championship. Each
finalist will receive a WPCS Bronze Rosette. The eight finalists will be judged at 11.30 am Thursday, 21

CONCOURS CLASS, driven by a lady or a gentleman.
For the Champion Concours d'Elegance exhibit.
The Concours d'Elegance is designed to establish the most elegant turnout. The essence of the
competition is the word 'elegance' and the winner will be the turnout, which, in the opinion of the judge
presents the most elegant effect. This will obviously include horse, driver, passenger, etc. but above all
the general impression. It is judged from a distance and vehicles are NOT closely inspected as in
ordinary show classes. The whole object of the class is to establish which turnout presents the most
pleasing picture and normal judging criteria does not apply.
Attention may well be paid to drivers' and passengers' personal attire, but a fancy dress or period
costume is definitely barred. From the above it will be seen that the requirements are quite different from
those governing the ordinary show classes, and turnouts which may do well in ordinary classes will not
necessarily succeed in this competition. Horse, harness and vehicles will not be subject to the detailed
inspection required in show classes, nor will performance be judged except in so far as that a very poor
performance may render an exhibitor 'inelegant'.

RESPONSIBILITY OF EXHIBITORS
Exhibitors are alone responsible for the accuracy and eligibility of their entries. Entry

Society stewards will be dealt with as defined in the current Livestock Rules &
Regulations (1, 10, 13, 65 & 66). All exhibitors should note the Management of Health
and Safety at Work Regulations 1992, which requires co-operation and co-ordination

which is to be judged by a person who has or had a financial or other interest in the animal,
or which has stood in his or her yard. Exhibitors should adhere to the specific rules of their
relevant breed society on this matter, where such rules are available. The onus of
complying with this regulation rests entirely on the exhibitor.
In all Interbreed
Championships the onus rests on the exhibitor to stand down if the interbreed judge has
or had a financial or other interest in the animal or if it has stood in his or her yard.

AWARD ON MERIT
The judges will be instructed to withhold any prize if they are of the opinion that there is

first, second or any other prize according to the merits of the animal or pen of animals
exhibited.
66.
RESERVE AWARDS
The judges will give a reserve award in each class to the exhibit which would in their
opinion, possess sufficient merit for a prize, in case an animal to which a prize has been
awarded should be subsequently disqualified. They will specially report equality of merit
to the Board of Directors, who will in such event, decide the award. They will also report
the animals which deserve to be specially commended, and then sign and deliver their
results through the Stewards to the Awards Office.

identification is not available, the animal shall be taken off the Showground, by order of the
Assistant Honorary Director.
