** Important Information **

Whilst we will make every effort to keep to the Timetable, exhibitors are reminded that it is a guideline only – and was compiled well before entries were open! Therefore, we reserve the right to amend timings and ring allocations if necessary. We will announce changes if they become necessary!

It is the responsibility of exhibitors to arrive at the Show field in sufficient time for the commencement of their classes. Classes will not commence prior to any given “Not before” timings. Bridgend Country Show Ltd will not accept responsibility for any exhibitor missing their classes and no entry fees will be refunded in this instance.

Where no “Not before times” are given, Classes will follow on.

Anyone abusing Judges, Stewards or other Officials will be required to leave the Show field – we are giving up our time so you can enjoy yourselves.

Objections must be lodged with the Secretary within 30 minutes of the Class closing and must be accompanied by a £20.00 non-refundable fee. All objections will be judged on their merit. Objections relating to Society classes will be referred to the relevant Society before any judgement is reached.

Please note: All Societies receive copies of the entries prior to the Show running. So entrants will have been checked. It is Not Acceptable for exhibitors to alter entries to non-registered horses or riders on the day and breaches of this will be reported to the relevant Society and you will be disqualified.

All vehicles admitted, along with their contents are left entirely at the owners risk.

Protective headgear MUST be worn by anyone riding a horse/pony for any reason. This must comply with the relevant standards in force and must be correctly fastened. This applies to everyone – no exceptions. Anyone not complying will be asked to leave the Show field. Bridgend Country Show Ltd accepts no responsibility or liability for any injury arising from a failure to comply with this regulation
