BECF Photo Show Results - Round 4
Here we go with the results of the Round 4 Performance show. Many thanks to the judge Sarah who put lots of helpful comments on the results, some of which are posted here to help you with your performance pics.
Showing classes
A few tips for this section, nosebands should be plain cavesson nosebands in showing classes, grackles are not permitted under most rule books. Also make sure there is a contact between the horses mouth and the riders hands and the resins are not in loops. It's also helpful for the judge if you specify which category your entry is representing as rules may be somewhat different. For example in a Ridden Pony class, you may get entries representing both riding ponies (where ponies are shown with coloured browbands) and also hunter ponies (where ponies must wear a plain browband). Numnahs or saddle cloths are not encouraged in any showing class. Girths should be plain black, brown or white depending on the colour of the horse.
Jumping classes
Tips for this section - if your horse is standing still make sure they are at the start line - or write on the back of the photo that they have refused. It's not plausible for a horse to jump when they are at a standstill almost at the point where they should be taking off. Also make sure the jump is an appropriate size for the horse.
Other English classes
Tipe for the mounted games class - jackets are not worn in mounted games, white jumpers for Pony Club and any colour polo shirt for Mounted Games Association. Long boots are also not worn - jodhpur boots only. In dressage classes a halt would only be called in the centre of the arena not out on the track, for lower levels always at X, for upper levels it can be any of the points on the centre line.
Western Pleasure classes
Make sure your rider can see out from under their hat! Numbers are usually placed on the saddle pads in western pleasure classes which would have gained some extra marks for some entrants. Some of the reins were trailing almost on the floor which lost a few marks.
So, onto the winners! The Supreme Championship went to the very cute Thomas More owned by Ilaria Dotti of Italy, well done Ilaria!
Reserve Supreme was awarded to FC Cochise II owned by Lauren Islip
And finally Midnight Lace owned by Wendy Goodson gained the Reserve to Reserve Supreme.
