Killusty Show – Small Hunter Championship Final

Rules for Small Hunter Championship 2026
1. Qualifying rounds will be held at designated shows.
2. The qualifying horse may be a MARE or GELDING, 4 years old and over. The horse must be over 148cms but not exceeding 158cms.
3. The Small Hunter should be a blood horse. He/She should be short of leg, with a good deep body and should have a lot of character and presence with an exemplary temperament.
4. First and Second placed small hunters in designated shows may qualify for the final. In the event of 1st and 2nd being qualified, 3rd and 4th may go forward to the final.
5. Judge of the day must sign the qualifying entry form(s)
6. On completion of judging at qualifiers the successful qualifier will be given all relevant entry documentation by the ring steward. This must be completed and returned, along with the appropriate fee, to the secretary of Killusty Show within 14 days - this rule will be strictly adhered to. Online entry will be available on itsplainsailing.com when entries open.
7. The rider must be 16 years and over on 01/01/2026.
8. Tack and Turn Out Recommended for Ridden Hunter Classes: Mane should be plaited, tail pulled. Heels trimmed. Plain tack, brown is preferred. Black tack is very rarely seen in affiliated Hunter classes. Double or pelham for open classes, snaffles for novices. If a rugby pelham is used, then a sliphead improves the look a lot. Plain browband and noseband. A straight cut or working hunter saddle will show off the horse’s shoulders and movement. Leather girth, or a white one is acceptable if your horse is grey, as a dark girth can distract the eye. Quartermarkers are correct (optional) for hunters and hunter ponies.
9. Rider Attire: Beige or canary jodhpurs or breeches, long boots. Shirt and tie. Tweed jacket. Spurs may be worn, but dummy spurs are acceptable.
10. Horses will be judged on type, conformation, way of going, ridden performance and action in-hand.
11. Random Dope testing may be carried out on the day of the final.
12. Horse passports must be present on the day of the final.
13. Any objection must be lodged in writing with the show secretary within half an hour following the completion of the competition, together with €50 which is refundable if the objection is upheld.
14. Killusty Show Committee, in consultation with the sponsor, reserves the right to amend the rules as may be deemed necessary.
* Qualifying Rosettes will be presented at the Qualifying Shows.
