Judge:-Mrs L Miller,Sale,Cheshire

Classes will be judged under DBS rules and application has been made to them for SPECIAL ROSETTES to be awarded to DBS member winners, as appropriate,

……………………………………………..

REGULATIONS:

Entering one donkey and showing another is not permitted.

Stallions and entire colts must be properly dressed in bridle and bits with the leading rein correctly attached to the bit.

In ‘Mare with Foal at Foot’ Class, superficial blemishes of a non-hereditary character do not necessarily debar a mare from being awarded a prize.

No person under the age of 17 years may handle an entire male donkey (foals excepted).

The classes are open to all donkeys but DBS rosettes will be awarded to DBS members.

The ‘In Hand Champion Donkey’ at this show automatically qualifies for the relevant Championship at the DBS Annual Supreme Championship Show in August 2008 at Rodbaston College, Stafford, provided it is owned by a fully paid up member of the DBS.

Where the ‘In Hand Champion Donkey’ has previously qualified, the Reserve Champion Donkey will be deemed the Qualifier.

A donkey may win more than one championship at shows but will qualify only once for the DBS Supreme Championship Show.
