Horse Welfare

FEI Code of Conduct for the Welfare of the Horse:

The Fdration Equestre (FEI) expects all those involved in international equestrian sport to adhere to the

FEIs 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.

At all stages during preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all

other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farriery, tack and transportation.

Horses and competitors 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. Competitors should refrain from excessive pre-event lunging.

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.

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. The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest

levels of education in the areas of expertise.

6.7 Preferential Judging System

The preferential judging system is used for the EA Australian Show Horse and Rider Championships and the

finals of the EA State Show Horse and Rider Championships. All judges should be aware of the procedure.

The three judges must stand separately and judge with no consultation amongst themselves. At the

conclusion of the workouts the three judges mark their first, second and third choices on a preferential

judging slip and hand it to a steward. The steward then tallies the preferences, giving three points for a first

preference, two for a second and one for a third.

The horse with the highest number of points is the winner, and runner-up the next highest.

An exception to this rule is when any one horse is given a first preference by two judges. That horse is

automatically the winner on six points, even if another horse has one first preference (3 points) and two

second preferences (2 points x 2) totalling seven points. This comes about as it should always be a majority

rules situation i.e. when two judges pick the same horse - it is automatically the winner.

Where the allocation of points via the preferential system brings about a tie, the rankings are reviewed.

If three horses are tied on points, any horse of lower rankings is dropped out of the considerations. For

example, if two horses each have a first and a second placing (5 points), these horses should rank above a

third horse with only one first placing and two third placings (3 points, plus 2 x 1 point = 5 points). This is

because two out of the three judges have ranked the first two horses higher than the third horse (ie: majority

rules).

The remaining two tied horses are then re-judged and re-ranked by the three judges (without conferring) on

new score sheets. Three judges, re-assessing just two horses will break the tie.

This process applies for winner, runner-up and also to lower placings if required.

In the event of an absolute three-way tie (i.e.: three horses each have 1st, 2nd and 3rd rankings = 6 points)

then the three judges may come together to confer. Conferral is the absolute last resort and should take place

in the ring under the observation of the Chief Steward.

The preferences must be signed by each judge and posted in a prominent place for perusal by the Competitors

as soon as possible after the event.

Guidelines Show Horse

Definition

A show horse is a quality, comfortable, beautiful and educated riding horse, being sound of wind and limb and

a look at me presence. The horse should be excellently presented and have the appearance of being apleasure to handle, watch and ride. It is entirely up to the talent of the rider and those connected with the

horse to prepare, and show it in the way in which it looks and performs the best. Stallions are not eligible to

compete in show horse classes.

Conformation and Movement

The horse should work with a nicely rounded back, naturally elevated in front and head flexed at the poll. The

contact should be light and even. Holding a horse in shape with the use of brute strength or artificial gadgets

is not truly getting a horse to accept and to come happily on the bit.

A show horse must give the impression of covering the ground easily and fluently. The horse must be well

balanced and work without any obvious effort by the rider or any untoward resistance from the horse. Every

part of the horses body must be involved in the movement, not just the legs. The whole picture should be

pleasing to the eye.

He should go forward with controlled free forward movement, the correct bend and an even rhythm in allpaces at a tempo chosen by the rider.

Manners

A show horse should be well mannered and obedient, but never mechanical. Exuberance may be forgiven but

not piggy bad manners, biting, rearing or bolting.

Presentation and Saddlery

Correctly fitted gear is the primary consideration.

Manes and Tails: Manes should be plaited, tails should be pulled or plaited.

False tails are permitted.

Coat and Hooves: Coat clean, with excess hair removed. Hooves oiled or blackened.Saddle: Saddle should be of good quality and be supple and clean with sound

stitching. A straight flapped (dressage type) is desirable.

Saddle Cloth: A discreet saddle cloth is acceptable.

Bridle: Bridle should be the same colour as the saddle, supple and good quality

leather. Stitching on the nose band and brow band optional. Coloured

brow bands may be worn.

Bits: Choice of bits is optional. Bits should of course fit properly.

Dress

Jackets & Waistcoat: Double, or single vent, straight cut jacket, which fits impeccably, with

optional waistcoat in toning colour.

Hats & Helmets: Approved safety helmet to be worn by all riders.

Helmets and hunting caps should be covered by plain velvet in a darkcolour which tones with the jacket, usually brown, black, navy or green.

This is most important if the coat collar is also made of velvet.

Shirts & Ties: A shirt with a proper collar in a tone which matches the jacket should be

worn together with a plain or discreetly patterned matching tie.

Alternatively a collarless shirt (i.e. rat catcher) and cotton stock may be

worn.


21/30


21

Jodhpurs & Breeches: Jodhpurs or breeches should be fawn, beige, lemon or banana. If jodhpurs

are worn with short boots they should finish neatly at the ankle. Breeches

are usually only worn by riders with long boots.

Boots: The riders boots or gaiters should be leather and either brown or black

depending upon the colour scheme chosen. Generally short boots are

worn by children under eighteen (18) years but older children and adults

can wear long boots.

Spurs: Dummy spurs are permitted with spur pointing down.Buttonholes: A buttonhole is traditionally a flower, or small floral arrangement worn

in the buttonhole of the jacket lapel. In modern times these have instead

tended to be a small rosette to match the rosettes that complete ones

brow band.

Gloves: Fawn or cream leather, or leather and string backs.

Whips/Canes: Are permitted and not to exceed 75cm.

Jewellery, Hair, Makeup: Hair should be neat and tidy and worn in a hair net if long, accessories

should not be obtrusive, makeup should be tasteful.

Judging

Show Horses are judged on conformation and soundness and also manners, paces and education.

Conformation and Soundness - Conformation in a show horse is the correct coupling of evenly balanced parts

of the horse which will produce a magnificent looking animal that is both sound in wind and limb.

Manners, Paces and Education- A show horse should be well mannered and obedient but never mechanical.

Exuberance may be forgiven but not piggy bad manners, biting, rearing or bolting. A hack must show soft,

regular, active strides which cover the ground, going forward with rhythm and impulsion. All paces should be

clearly defined.

Workout

A show horse class is not a dressage test. Movements that the show horse may be asked to perform depends

on the level of the competition. Newcomer to Championthe workouts should be appropriate for the level

of the class.

A newcomer horse should only be expected to perform very simple movements i.e. circles, half circles, changeof lead through the trot and all transitions to be progressive (meaning to canter through walk and trot, from

canter through trot to walk). Again exuberance and tension should be forgiven to a degree. It is equally

important that a horse be penalised for bad manners i.e. rearing, bucking, kicking etc.

The novice horse can be asked for a little more difficult work and the Judge would be a little less forgiving for

naughtiness or over-exuberance than the Judge would for the newcomer horse. The Judge could ask for

lengthened trot, three loop serpentine in trot or canter depending on the horses you have in front of you to

judge.

The open horse could be expected to perform a little more difficult work. The Judge could include two

different types of changes in canter, lengthened trot and canter, walk to canter. Never halt to canter or

canter to halt as this is far too difficult and usually looks untidy and is not correct.

Show Hunter

Definition

A show hunter should possess more substance than the modern ridden show horse, but it must be

emphasized they should be still quality animals. A quality show hunter must create the impression that it is

capable of hunting over a variety of terrainthis militates against any weakness in conformation which would

prevent this, and he must do it comfortably and safely for his rider. The show hunter in competition is not

required to jump. Stallions are not eligible to compete in show hunter classes.

Conformation and Movement

The show hunter should have short, well defined cannons with sufficient forearm and second thigh. He must

cover the ground in all paces with a well balanced gallop, moving from the shoulder, and with the hind legs

well under. A certain amount of knee action is permitted, while a flat, stilted action is unacceptable.

Manners

Manners are extremely important and small misdemeanors, which may be overlooked in a Show Horse,

should be penalized in the Show Hunter.

Presentation and Saddlery

Saddlery should be clean, neat and well fitting, but may be more workmanlike than for a ridden Show Horse

Class.

Manes & Tails: Manes should be plaited; tails should be pulled or plaited. False tails are

permitted.

Coat & Hooves: Coat clean, with excess hair removed. Hooves oiled or blackened. No

quarter markers or make up permitted.

Saddle: Saddle should be of good quality and be supple and clean with sound

stitching. A straight flapped (dressage type) is desirable.

A general purpose saddle with a deeper seat is acceptable but those with

forward cut panels tend to hide the animals shoulder.

Saddle Cloth: A discreet saddle cloth is acceptable

Bridle: Bridle should be the same colour as the saddle, supple, of good quality

leather. Stitching on nose band and brow band optional.

A Show Hunter should wear a simple double bridle with a plain brow band

and nose band. No coloured or fancy brow bands. A snaffle bridle is

acceptable.

Bits: Choice of bits is optional. Bits should of course fit properly.

Dress:

The dress code for Show Hunter is generally more conservative and understated than Open Ridden ShowClasses.

Two very important factors about clothing which are sometimes overlooked, especially in children, that

everything should (a) fit the rider and (b) be comfortable to ride in.


23/30


23

Jackets & Waistcoats: Double or single vent, straight cut jacket, which fits impeccably, with

short boots they should finish neatly at the ankle. Breeches are usually
