DISPENSATION REQUESTS
Horses/ponies must never have been placed first in an open show ring class including working hunter. However, members may apply for dispensation to NZEPS. (Please note open show ring includes wins in novice classes in a ring defined open ie saddle hunter, park hack etc). This also includes shows such as NZ Show Council and Showing Championships.
The definition open in our rules means open quality as defined by RAS etc and as such does include novice wins in any of the relevant open classes.
