ROYAL SHOW CHECKS WILL SOON BE UNDERWAY – IF YOU ARE ENTERING ROYALS, OR ANY OTHER SHOW?

Registrations & Memberships are being CHECKED by Breed & Show Societies, therefore, if you are competing in any show run under RPSBS Rules then:

• You MUST ensure your pony is REGISTERED and entered in the correct exhibitors name (YOU, THE REGISTERED OWNER).
• Ensure you, the EXHIBITOR are a CURRENT Financial member.
•  Ff you are not handling or Riding the pony, then, make certain that your HANDLER or RIDER is at least a PARTICIPANT Member of the RPSBS.
• Ensure you allow adequate time prior to the close of entries to have your unregistered or not transferred/leased ponies paperwork completed.
• Members requesting transactions to be processed at short notice will be charged the published Fast Track Fee AND are not guaranteed that they will be completed if lodged just prior to a show.  Office staff always try their best to accommodate members lodging paperwork and requiring it quickly, however, some matters are beyond our control, particularly if your paperwork is incomplete or incorrect.  A $20 send back fee will be imposed for any paperwork that must be returned a second time to the member for corrections or omissions.
• Remember Ponies 4 years and over MUST be adult registered and cannot be shown on foal-recorded registrations. All colts 2 years and over as at 1st August must be entire.  In order to be eligible to be shown a Veterinary Certificate confirming the presence of two descended testicles must be lodged with the Society.

Check the studbook online to see the current status of your membership and your pony’s registration.
