T H A N K Y O U

The SHCV Committee would like to send out a HUGE

THANK YOU to all of the exhibitors and sponsors

who have supported our recent SHCV events..

We managed to pull off 3 great event’s in October

and November and this would not be possible

without the continued support of our Members.

Thank you to everyone who followed the directions

of our Ringmaster, Ring Stewards, Announcer and

volunteers to ensure the smooth running of all

events.

Without your co-operation and understanding we

would not be able to finish off 2018 on such a high.

YOUNG HORSE CLASSES ONWARD

Discussion on the future of the Young Horse

classes took place at the September SHCA

Meeting. It was the general feeling from the

majority of States that these classes have

not generally been well supported, which

was disappointing.

With 18 classes needing to be included not

only at State events but also the Grand

Nationals , time restraints also proved a

problem.

A motion was moved and carried that

Young Horse classes wil not continue as

Grand National Qualifying classes from

01/01/2019.

HORSE REGISTRATIONS etc

Another remi nder that all Horse

Registrations, Transfer Of Ownerships,

Leases Applications, Change of Name

Applications etc MUST be forwarded to the

SHCA Office in NSW, your State Group DO

NOT handle any of these transactions.

Show Horse Council of Victoria, Home-Produced Awards

The SHCV has introduced an opportunity to recognise home-produced horses exhibited by non-professional horse owners and riders.

For the purpose of confirming who is eligible to nominate for these awards, we have defined what is considered a home-produced horse.

This definition has been provided for this purpose only and should not be read in conjunction with any other document.

To be eligible for the SHCV Home-Produced Awards, the horse and rider combination must satisfy the Horse Rules and the Non-

Professional Horse Owner and Rider rules:

Horse Rules

For a horse to be eligible for the Home-Produced awards,

the horse is ridden by a non-professional

the horse has either been stabled at home or in a ‘do it yourself’ stable complex for the previous 12 months

the horse has not been stabled in a professional stable complex at any time during the previous 12 months

the horse has not been shown or ridden or led at any Show Horse competition by a professional during the previous 12 months.

Example: To be eligible, a horse cannot be led in a Leading Rein class at a Show Horse competition by a professional during the

previous 12 months

Show Horse competitions include, but are not limited to:

Show Horse Council of Australasia Grand National Championships and qualifying events

Royal Shows

Agricultural Shows

Equestrian Australia affiliated shows

The 12-month period excludes a horse that has been bought from a professional or professional stable complex and re-registered

with a new non-professional owner who has had the horse less than 12 months.

During the course of competition at which a nominated exhibit is competing, a professional is not permitted to ride or work the

exhibit at any time

Example: To remain eligible, a horse competing on Day 2 at the SHCV HOTY cannot be ridden by a professional at any time for the

duration of the show.

The rider of the horse need not be the owner of the horse

2. Professional Horse Owner and Rider Rules

For a horse to be eligible for these awards, the owner of the horse and the rider of the horse in the previous 12 months must not:

own or manage a stable complex where any person pays a fee to stable a horse

buy, sell, deal or hire horses in a commercial capacity

receive financial remuneration for employment in connection with showing of horses, a professional stable complex or riding school

(instruction at Pony Club and Adult Riding Club excepted).

This includes receiving financial remuneration for riding a horse at a Show Horse competition. A small gift is not considered

remuneration.

Example: For the purposes of these Awards, a person who received a financial remuneration to ride a horse at an agricultural show in

the previous 12 months is deemed a professional.

Example: For the purposes of these Awards, a person who received a gift of a browband to ride a horse at an agricultural show in the

previous 12 months is not deemed a professional

This rule does not include remuneration paid to the suppliers of ancillary services such as farriers and vets.

Owned/part owned an equestrian establishment including but not limited to riding schools, events centres, stud or professional

stable complex, in any capacity, or receive any form of remuneration for employment at an equestrian establishment. For

avoidance of doubt for the purpose of this rule, immediate family members of an owner or part owner of equestrian

establishment who work or are howsoever otherwise engaged or involved in any capacity, whether or not for remuneration at

the equestrian establishment, will be treated as being an owner or part owner of that equestrian establishment

Shown a horse owned or sponsored by a company or commercial firm, in ANY showing classes, SHC or otherwise. A small gift is not

considered sponsorship.

These rules do not exclude a horse owner or rider having lessons at any time with an instructor, providing the horse remains stabled

at home or in a ‘do it yourself’ stable complex

SHC Database

database recently to complete entries for Grand Nationals, All States Showdown, Classic, Horse of

the Year etc. It is vital that your details in the database are 100% correct so please ensure you
