STABLE ALLOCATION
6.1
The allocation of stabling accommodation is carried out by the organising
committee and the Society’s Committee and is final and binding on the competitor. Under no
circumstances may any competitor change his stabling accommodation or alter the stabling list
without prior consultation with, and approval by, the Organising Committee and the Society.
6.2
Vehicle (and Horse Box) Access
6.2.1 ALL horses/ponies requesting stabling will be stabled within the show grounds.
6.2.2 Free parking for light vehicles displaying an appropriate access permit is available in
the Gate 3A car park. Please note, no horse boxes will be permitted entry into this area.
6.2.3 All horse boxes, heavier vehicles and transport rigs must be parked in a designated
area within Townhill Hospital grounds. This area, located some 200 metres from the show
grounds, will enjoy 24-hour security.
6.2.4 For off-loading and loading purposes, entry to the show grounds will be via Gate 5,
with the exit being via Gate 4.
6.2.5 Due to limited space within the stabling area only a certain number of equine
transporters will be allowed into the show grounds at any time and each vehicle will be given
25 minutes to off-load / load and vacate the grounds (to park in the Townhill Hospital parking
area).
This exercise is to be effected via an ‘aircraft stacking system’ as follows:
 Prior to entering the show grounds, all equine transport / service vehicles will be required
to enter the Townhill Hospital grounds, park and be issued with a number.
 To avoid congestion, the vehicles will thereafter be authorized in number sequence or at
the discretion of the marshal on duty at Townhill (who will be in constant radio communication
with Gate 5) to enter the show grounds proper.
6.2.6 In the interests of all stakeholders, equine horse transporter drivers and ancillary
vehicles must adhere strictly to the gate marshal and stabling marshal’s requests at all times.
6.2.7 Save for loading and unloading (and subject to the 25 minute restriction), no vehicles
will be permitted to park in the grounds of the RAS. Any vehicle contravening this regulation will
be removed at the cost and risk of the driver/owner and the rider may – at the Society’s sole
discretion – be disqualified from competing.
6.2.8 Competitors must ensure that the appropriate vehicle entry permit is displayed at all
times.
6.3
GROOMS’ ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation will be made available for grooms to sleep and for the storage of food and
tack. These facilities may be shared with other grooms.

Separate prize money will be provided for each pool.
11. VARIATION TO THE PROGRAMME
The programme of events and the conditions relating thereto will be adhered to as far as is
possible. The organising committee, in conjunction with the Society’s Committee reserves the
right to cancel Classes and/or re-arrange the programme in the event of insufficient or
excessive entries, unfavourable weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances. Entry

CODE OF CONDUCT
The South African Equestrian Federation (SAEF) and The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI)
expects all those involved in International Equestrian Sport to adhere to the 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.
1. At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take
precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training
methods, farriery and tack, and transportation.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. SAEF and FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in
their areas of expertise.

Any horse breaking loose in the arena or collecting ring will be fined R100.00.
Exhibitors are urgently requested to ensure themselves of the starting times
of the respective classes, as only two minutes will be allowed between the end

will be officially closed. No late comers will be allowed to enter the arena.
Exhibitors must enter the arena in program order.
Exhibitors must enter the arena via the marshalling arena.
All scratching must immediately be brought to the attention of the marshalling
steward, before the start time of the applicable class. Non compliance will be
fined R 100.
Failing to cancel a horse who qualify for a championship during the National
Championships and then not showing the horse in that particular class will lead
to a R100-00 FINE.
All complaints must be IN WRITING and submitted at the show office, not later
than one hour after the incident, together with R 1000, 00 deposit.
In view of the fact that time is restricted due to the many classes and that specific
