NZSBA conditions: 1 Horses age is of 1 August. 2 All Standardbred's must carry a brand or a microchip that is registered with Harness Racing NZ. 3 RAS Height Certificates must be carried where classes are defined by height. 4 NZSBA Show Passport must be carried at all times. A strict policy of "no card, no entry" will be in place at each show. 5 Novice Classification: a) A Novice exhibit or rider is one that has yet to win six (6) classes in any division within the competitions provided at any A & P Show/Event. Note: To clarify further, at time of first day of the Show/Event competition If you have 0, 1 or 2 wins – you can enter the 0-2 wins class, if you have 0, 1, 2 or 3 wins – you can enter the 0-3 wins class, if you have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 wins – you can enter the 0-5 wins class. Once you have achieved 6 wins in Conformation (and this includes Ladies & Gentlemans classes) and/or Paced & Mannered classes, you can no longer enter in Novice classes in that category. 6 Novice horses must be shown in a single bridle (snaffle bit). 7 Only Open conformation, Open Champion & Reserve are HOY Qualifying classes However, as we want to ensure maximum entries for your classes - we would appreciate you take your shows entries into consideration and run, either two Open classes split by height or an Open and Lady’s combination, with no more than three open classes being available at one show (eg - two Open classes split by height with an added a Lady’s class or one Open class, a Lady’s class with an added Gentleman’s class if you choose to have three open qualifying classes, bearing in mind competitors are only eligible for either a Lady’s or a Gentleman’s – not both Please choose the schedule that suits you to maximise your entries per class. 8 Supreme has been removed from both schedules - from a judging point of view a Ridden horse cannot be judged against an Inhand horse unless the Ridden horse is stripped, therefore you are judging two Inhand horses - making the Supreme null in void. In no other section, do RAS or Breed have an Inhand and Ridden horse compete against each other for a Supreme. 9 Standardbred schedules are to be sent to NZSBA (julie@thebreeders.co.nz) for approval, PRIOR to schedules going live online. NZSBA is an affiliated breed society to RAS, therefore RAS do NOT approve the Standardbred schedule, NZSBA as the governing body of the breed does. 10 NZSBA offers shows holding a Standardbred section, sponsorship of $100 + GST and $200 + GST for Royal Shows. 11 Judges: When choosing a Judge for this section - NZSBA require an RAS listed Judge is used for all RAS shows and wish these horses to be judged the same as any other RAS section...on Conformation - not breed specific. 12 NZSBA is the affiliated organisation to RAS for Standardbred’s – all correspondence RAS related is to be dealt with by New Zealand Standardbred Breeders Assn (NZSBA) at julie@thebreeders.co.nz - not North Island Standardbred Assn (NISA) or New Zealand Standardbred Riding Assn (NZSRA). |
