LIST OF CLASSES
EXHIBITORS PLEASE NOTE:
Unless animals are entered in the Catalogue and on a signed entry form they will not be
allowed in the Show
Important notice to Animal Owners who are involved in Showing their animals
The Irish Shows Association would advise all Animal owners who have their Animals
Insured to have the Insurance cover extended to cover them while showing animals at
Shows. We understand that it cost very little or nothing at all depending on whom you have
Insurance cover with..
The reason for us giving this advice is to protect yourself in the event of your animal
lashing out and injuring someone or damaging someone’s property, if that were to
happen and it is established that your animal was out of your control you may be held
responsible, or partly responsible for any injury or damage caused and end up paying all or
part of any settlement reached.
(Rule 20 applies all the way through except where stated)
Competitors may enter animals in any class for which they are eligible, but any animal that
obtains a First Prize cannot be exhibited in any other class at the Show. They shall, however,
be eligible to compete for a Special Prize. All numbers must be attached to animals before
judging commences, if not, no prize money will be awarded. Exhibitors are responsible for
their exhibits at all times while they are on show grounds
Section 1 - HORSES & PONIES
All foals must be haltered and led by an adult on their own I.H.R. Number, name of sire and
dam must appear on Entry Form
Premises Registration
As from 1 May 2012, any premises (which includes shows, fairs and markets) where horses
or other equines are gathered must be registered with the Department. Owners/persons in
charge of such gatherings are required to submit a completed application form for registration
and to keep records of movements on/off their premises.
Records required are
The name and address of the owner/person in charge of the premises from which the
equine came;
The premises registration number from which the equine came and
Passport number/UEL number of the animal
It is important therefore that Show organisers should contact their local District Veterinary
Office in advance so that consideration can be given to compliance with the requirements
outlined above.
Equine Identification
All Equines (which include horses, ponies and donkeys) must be identified in accordance
with EU and national legislation.
Possession of an unidentified equine is an offence under the legislation.
Passport must be issued by approved Passport Issuing Organisations [PIOs] within the
calendar year of birth [by 31 December in the year of birth] or within six months of
birth [whichever is later] and is valid for the lifetime of the animal. A list of the PIOs
is set out in Appendix 1.
Microchip - all equines issued with a passport after 1st July 2009 must have a
corresponding microchip implanted by a veterinarian which is recorded in the
passport and creates a link between the passport and the animal.
A Keeper must
Have an equine registered with a PIO
Have a passport issued in accordance with EU and national legislation
Comply with the provisions of the legislation whereby a passport must accompany the
equine whenever it is moved to events such as shows, sales and to slaughter plants,
etc.

The following changes are being introduced for keepers of bovine animals who wish to

Certificates of Compliance can be obtained online from the Animal Identification and

specify a destination herd. On the day of the Show, the Certificate of Compliance should
be
presented to the Show Secretary along with the bovine passport for the animal.
The keeper and the Show Secretary will then sign the Movement Notification section of
the Certificate which will then be sent to the local DVO for recording onto the AIM
system.

Show Secretary will be allowed to be shown on the day of the Show.
These Certificates will replace the previously-used CMMS 4 forms.

the Register.

Important notice to Animal Owners who are involved in Showing their animals
The Irish Shows Association would advise all Animal owners who have their Animals
Insured to have the Insurance cover extended to cover them while showing animals at
Shows. We understand that it cost very little or nothing at all depending on whom you have
Insurance cover with.
If you are one of the few who don’t have cover we would advise that you think about putting
it in place for this purpose it may be well worthwhile.
The reason for us giving this advice is to protect yourself in the event of your animal
lashing out and injuring someone or damaging someone’s property, if that were to
happen and it is established that your animal was out of your control you may be held
responsible, or partly responsible for any injury or damage caused and end up paying all or
part of any settlement reached
Specific Requirements - Sheep
Identification All sheep must be individually identified with plastic ear tags issued on accordance with the
requirements of the National Sheep Identification System (NSIS).
Movement Documentation All consignments of sheep being moved must be accompanied by the completed dispatch

Exports (to Member States of the European Union including Northern Ireland All sheep must be accompanied by certification a laid down in Directive 91/68/EEC as
amended. Organisers are advised to contact their Local District Veterinary Office well in

st, sheep from scrapie monitored
or probationary flocks must be separated from other sheep as follows:
