PLEASURE HORSE/PONY SHOWING RULES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pleasure Horse/Pony means those animals who do not fit the mould of a Show Horse/Pony. We welcome any breed (e.g. Appaloosas, Quarter Horses, Standardbreds, Clyde X) and colour. They should be an uncomplicated and genuine pleasure to ride. Whilst they do not possess the show quality conformation of a show horse, they should in their own way be a delight to ride, with impeccable manners. A “pleasure mount” is NOT an inexperienced mount with show quality conformation who is destined for the open show ring.
1. From 1 August 2015, for a horse/pony to meet the annual title show qualification requirements they must be registered with NZEPS.
2. Horses/ponies must never have been placed first in an open show ring class including working hunter. However, members may apply for dispensation to NZEPS.
3. Ordinary snaffle bit as per Dressage NZ definition only, no poll action. No bit guards, shadow rolls, ear plugs muffs or bonnets, martingales (breast plates are allowed) or tie downs
4. Bitless bridles are only permitted in Recreational pleasure classes.
5. Only cavesson nosebands are permitted no strapping below the bit.
6. Whips may be carried but must not exceed 76cms in length.
7. All riders must wear a 3 point harness helmet conforming to the current NZ Safety Standard or an equivalent standard and be red tagged.
8. Spurs are not to be worn.
9. Riders may be registered with other bodies.
10. Riders may have competed outside the Pleasure Horse/pony section.
