Tips for the New Dales Pony Exhibitor
Dales Pony Showing Guidelines (DPS)
These guidelines aim to provide advice to those wishing to show a Dales Pony in our Virtual Show.
Film your pony/rider/handler from the perspective of the judge. The camera will be where the judge would be in the ring.
Introduce yourself to the camera with assigned competitor number.
All videos submitted must be one continual loop, no edits.
Rules:
Registration: All entrants must be located in North America.
Class 1-6 entrants: Dales ponies must be registered in the Dales Pony Society Stud Book or in the X Section of the stud book. In Process or DPSA please detail, approval required.
Attire: The DPCNA dress requirement is show casual, with appropriate safety headgear.
Rider gear: No whips with lashes for any class, with the exception of driving. No spurs are allowed.
Grooming: Ponies should be shown in their natural state, which means no trimming or plaiting/braiding. Ponies should be presented clean and well groomed, with manes and tails as full and flowing as possible. Feathers should be full.
