Judges

 

Our aim is to professionalise this area of online showing, with judges who are respected and accredited, either by already being on affiliated panels and/or by being BHS accredited professional coaches or similar. Our aim going forwards is to have a panel of judges each month with specific experience in each area, e.g. M&Ms, Ponies, Horses etc. Future judges will be announced on the website and detailed in each month's schedule.

​​

Video Classes will be judged on one video. Photo Classes will be judged on up to three photo(s). Further details of what to include can be found in the schedule and on our website.

​

Why enter our shows?

​

We are different to other online shows, in two main areas:

 

• We believe strongly that feedback is desired by competitors from judges, as this allows you to understand your placing and also provide the opportunity to work on areas for improvement to hopefully place higher next time. Therefore with ALL class entries, not only will you receive your placing/prize but you will also receive notes with constructive feedback and advice from the judge, so you can better understand from the judge’s viewpoint what came across well in your performance and what areas they suggest could be improved to gain a higher placing/mark next time. This is just as if you were in the ring at the end of a class, but all competitors will receive feedback not just those that remember, are confident enough to, or have the opportunity to ask the judge!

​​

• This show is open to all – and to not only provide encouragement for the novice/grassroots competitors but also provide competition for the more experienced competitors. Therefore, if there are sufficient entries, we will run two sections alongside each other in the Video Classes, for Grassroots/Local Level competitors (for example those new to showing or only experienced at Local or Pony/Riding Club level) and for County/National Level competitors (those who regularly compete at affiliated or bigger shows).​​​

​

Prizes

 

For all classes with sufficient entries, rosettes will be awarded from 1st to 6th place in each section (i.e. Class 1 placings 1st to 6th for Grassroots/Local Level and also placings 1st to 6th for County/National Level).

 

In addition, Champion and Reserve Champion rosettes will be awarded for the Ridden (Video) Show Champions, the In Hand (Video) Show Champions and the Photo Show Champion; plus a Supreme Champion Sash awarded to the supreme of show.

 

MP Gloss Products - UK have kindly donated a £50 voucher each month to the Supreme Champion; and TopSpec have donated vouchers and goodies each month to the section Champions!

 

All prizes will be posted by Royal Mail second class to the postal address submitted on your entry form. We will aim to get these in the post within 48 hours of the classes closing.

​

In addition to the monthly shows, we will run an annual league table for the calendar year (1 Jan to 31 Dec each year) with a sash and prizes awarded to the overall class points champions. Points will be accumulated by entering classes and also for places in each class. Further details to be announced on the website.

 

This is a developing format, so all feedback is welcomed and we would encourage you to email support@britishshowing.com with any requests for new classes, suggested improvements to the website or show and any other helpful advice or feedback!
