Update on 2008 Royal Melbourne Show Qualifications
The Royal Agricultural Society (RAS) is aware of the postponement or cancellation of horse competitions at Victorian Agricultural Shows (VAS) and the effect it will have on the Horses in Action at the 2008 Royal Melbourne Show.
The RAS Horse Committee has resolved that qualifications for the 2008 Royal Melbourne Show will be as follows:
• Where a qualifying show was cancelled in the 2007/2008 show season performances from the previous show season (2006/2007 – 30 June 2006 to 20 June 2007) will be accepted for the 2008 Show. Eg 2007 Seymour Show Horse Section to be held in October was cancelled therefore the performances gained at the 2006 Seymour Show will be accepted.
• Where a qualifying show is held in the 2007/2008 show season performances for the previous show season (2006/2007) will not be accepted for the 2008 Show. Performances from qualifying shows held in the 2007/2008 show season will be accepted for the 2008 Show. Eg 2008 Berwick Show horse section may still be held in February, if it is held then only the 2008 performances will be accepted.
• If VAS Ltd Agricultural Societies hold VAS accredited horse shows in place of their horse events which have been rescheduled due to EI, the performances at these shows will be recognised as a qualifier. Eg Sale Show which postponed its horse events from its November 2007 Agricultural Show and now plan to run an event in April; the results from their April event will be accepted and any 2006 performances from this show, will now be obsolete.
• A minimum of three performances at qualifying shows will still be required.
• Performances must be achieved at agricultural Shows affiliated with their state body, capital city Royal Shows, VAS Saddle Horse Championships or Barastoc Horse of the Year.
The RAS understands that this is a difficult and uncertain time for all horse exhibitors and show organisers. The RAS understands the gravity of the situation and will continue to act in the best interests of the Show and its exhibitors.
The RAS hopes that the EI situation will be contained as soon as possible and looks forward to your support in welcoming horse competitions back to the Royal Melbourne Show in 2008.
