2008 APSB Victoria
Pony of the Year
Introduction
This
concept has been developed to encourage competitors to support their
regional and breed promotional group shows.
At this stage, we are aiming to have a Junior, Senior and Saddle class in the following sections.
Australian
Connemara
Fjord
Hackney
Highland
New Forest
Shetland
Welsh
Part Bred
APSB Riding Pony
For the
Hackney, the saddle section will be replaced by harness.
It is
hoped that there will be enough entries in each of the sections to
run the junior, senior and saddle for each breed under the APSB
banner. If it is found
that there are limited entries in particular breed sections, then
some of the breeds may be combined.
This breed
showcase will be held on the Saturday evening at the 2009 Stud Show,
allowing for those not competing to watch whilst enjoying the
barbeque and entertainment provided.
To be
eligible to enter, you must have placed (first, second or third) at
any of the promotional group shows during the 2008 year.
It is hoped to continue this event into 2009 where a full
list of shows will be available for competitors .
Qualifying Shows
Any show held by one of the following promotional groups will be a
qualifying show for this event.
Results will be collated from each event held by the promotional
groups so that it is clear which horses and ponies are eligible to
enter.

Rules
·
Any
Promotional Group that runs a show with APSB Breed classes is
eligible. Ponies must
place in their particular breed class at one of these shows to be
eligible to enter into their appropriate class at the final.
·
Only one
placing at a promotional group show is required for entry.
·
All ponies
entered will be given a set workout to complete prior to attending
the event. This will be
the case in both led, saddle and harness classes.
The workout may be different for each breed to ensure that
each breed showcases its individual talents.
· Classes will only be run if there are a minimum of 6 ponies entered. If there are less than 6 ponies, classes or breeds may be combined. For example a Mountain and Moreland section instead of individual sections for Connemara and Fjords.
·
Junior
ponies are those 3 years and under
·
Senior
ponies are 4 years and over
·
Saddle
ponies must be at least 3 years of age to compete in the saddle
section.
