EXMOOR PONY SOUTHERN AWARDS
Awards will run from 1 December 2010 to 30 November 2011.
The awards are open to Exmoor ponies owned or used by a paid up member of the Exmoor Pony Society. A member may enter as many ponies as he\she wishes, but each pony must have a separate entry form and points sheet. Points sheets may be photocopied or further forms are available from the competition Secretary, SAE appreciated, or by email to j.churchill@tinyworld.co.uk
The idea of the award scheme is that every event that Exmoor ponies participate in should be included. So if an event is not listed below then please add it to your entry form and an appropriate number of points will be allocated and it can then be
included in future years.
Please could you make it clear on your entry form which classes/events are IN HAND and which are RIDDEN.
Points are awarded at any level of show (in hand or ridden) or event as follows:
1 place 15 points
2 place 12 points

No official signature is required for points gained, but the entry form must be completed fully. Entries may be subject to random accuracy checks.
There will be two sections, young stock and adult pony. In Hand Classes are included in each section. Ponies under 4 years old may only claim points for In Hand classes. A junior member is aged 16 or under in the competition year.
There will be rosettes awarded for the ponies with the best overall standings and in addition, for each individual area within the Southern region. There will also be an additional set of placings given for junior members (ridden classes/events and young handler classes only). Supreme and Reserve Supreme In Hand and Performance Champions will also be awarded. In addition a Best Veteran Pony (Over 18 years) will be awarded.
A pony may have several different riders (for example a junior and an adult rider) and all points will be counted towards the total for the pony. Junior riders scores will be counted separately for their placing so please give riders age on the entry form.
Entry fee for each pony £5.00. Competition entries must be received by the Competition Secretary no later than December 5th, following the close of the competition for that year. No late entries will be accepted for any reason. Safe arrival of entry forms within the allowed time is entirely the responsibility of the competitor.
