2008 SYDNEY ROYAL EASTER SHOW

2008 SYDNEY ROYAL EASTER SHOW

No one knows when the full extent of the Equine Infleunza (EI) outbreak will be known and like others involved in the horse industry, we don’t know when horse events will be allowed to resume.

What we do know is that if we are allowed to stage the 2008 Sydney Royal Horse Show we want it to be as good as it possibly can be and to do that we need you, our horse exhibitors to enter.

We cannot possibly know what performances will be required because we don’t know what exhibitors may already have achieved. However, we understand that it will not be possible for exhibits to have gained the level of qualifications which have been required in previous years.

If you believe you have a horse that would otherwise have qualified for Sydney Royal 2008 please send in your entries. Remember everyone is in the same boat, and the Horse Committee understand the difficulties you are all under at present.

Important information for all Horse Exhibitors:

• The Horse schedule and entry forms will be available online this year. We will not be mailing out horse schedules in a general mail out as in previous years. We have done this to save you time and to give you a better, safer system of entry.
• We encourage you to visit this page of the website, (or visit www.sydneyroyal.com.au and go to the Horse page) to enter online, view the schedule and all other information relating to the Sydney Royal Horse Show.
• If you cannot access a computer, please write to the RAS Horse Section and we will download a copy of the schedule and entry form and send it to you.
• Please DO NOT RING as this will delay the response to your request.
• You are NOT required to pay nomination fees at this point in time. If the Show has to be cancelled, we don’t want you to be out of pocket waiting for a refund.
• Once we know the show can go ahead, we will advise you whether you have been accepted and we will then ask you to send in your nomination fees together with your acceptance fees.
• Please regularly visit this page of the website for the latest news and competition updates.

We know things are tough at the present time. Stay positive. The health of you and your horse is important and we will get through this current crisis.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2008 Sydney Royal Easter Show.
