More about the Grand National Show...

The ultimate show to attend in the high end world of hacking is The Grand National (NSW), which will be held in April 2011.  All winners from Royal Shows plus winners of a select few Qualifying Shows, are invited to attend, so the 2011 Pacific Coast Hack Championship is an important show for those wanting to qualify to attend the Grand National.  There are very strict procedures to be followed in Grand National Qualifiying classes...

 

Procedures for Grand National Qualifiying Classes:
Three (3) judges will judge the individual Classes without any conferring between the Judges. A Free Workout in set time will apply to all OPEN HACK & SHOW HUNTER Classes.

Procedure: Time will commence when entering Arena for Individual Workout, a Warning Bell will be rung 15 seconds prior end of time limit to allow completion of Movement & leave the Arena. If time is exceeded the second Bell will be rung, the Exhibitor must immediately leave the Arena as judging will have ceased.

Due to time restraints, NO HALT to be done at completion of Workout.

SHOW HUNTER CLASSES - FREE WORKOUT: TIME LIMIT TWO (2) MINUTES

The Presiding judge will be the first named judge for that Class and in event of equality of scores the Presiding Judge’s points will take precedence to break the tie. Only the top two scores of the Judges will be counted. Complete final Results of Top Ten will be displayed in the Secretary’s Office after the event.

Riders are allowed to ride more then one mount in a class, provided all horses are presented with riders on for inspection by the judges. No exhibit can be shown in both the Show Horse and Show Hunter Classes.
