EGYPTIAN EVENT SHOW RULES & PROCEDURES USEF RULES, LOCAL CLASSES AND AHA RECOGNITION: This Horse Show is conducted in accordance with the Rules of the USEF, particularly the Arabian Horse Division. The official rulebook of USEF will prevail for this show. Each participant in this show is responsible for knowledge of these rules and is subject to these rules. Any changes or corrections of the rules will automatically become part of this prize list. Questions that may arise that are not covered by the USEF rulebook will be decided by the Show Committee and their decisions will be final. The classes for this competition are restricted to members of The Pyramid Society and therefore all classes at this competition will be considered Local according to USEF GR 134 Local Classes. No classes will be eligible for USEF Horse of the Year Awards. (USEF GR 134) This show is not recognized by the Arabian Horse Association. EGYPTIAN EVENT RULES OF CONDUCT: Organizing committee members, show officials, judges, exhibitors and handlers will unconditionally submit themselves and their accompanying persons to the “Egyptian Event Show Rules and Procedures” and will accept the jurisdiction of the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), the Egyptian Event Show Committee (Show Committee) and the USEF Steward. The Show Committee, USEF and the USEF Show Steward shall not be liable for any consequence of any decision they may make. These Rules will be interpreted where necessary under the provisions by such committees. Show organizers are not permitted to introduce rules which are in conflict with the “Egyptian Event Show Rules of Conduct and Procedures”. ADMINISTRATION OF CHEMICAL IRRITANTS/GINGER: No horse may compete in a class in the Arabian Division with any chemical or other irritant of any kind present on its anus, vulva, rectal area or vaginal area, regardless of the origin of the irritant and whether it was applied or its presence resulted from dietary, environmental or 9
unknown origins, and whether the horse’s tail carriage was affected by its presence, per USEF AR103.5. Testing at the Egyptian Event for the presence of ginger and/or other irritants will be conducted at the direction of the USEF Veterinarian. ADMISSION TO THE RING: At the discretion of Show Management, order of entry into the ring may be predetermined for any class. In all Halter classes except Get of Sire and Produce of Dam, a posted order will be produced, listing the entries by birth date, from oldest to youngest. In all Halter classes except Get of Sire and Produce of Dam entries will enter the ring in age order from oldest to youngest and be judged in the order they enter the ring. In Get of Sire and Produce of Dam entries will enter by Back Number from lowest to highest. APPOINTMENTS AND WHIPS: In all halter classes a suitable headstall equipped with throatlatch is mandatory. One whip per handler. No item may be used inside or outside the ring while showing a horse except one whip. Whips are to be no longer than six feet (6’) including snapper/ lash/appendage. Small appendages (no more than 12 inches in length) of ribbon, plastic, etc., are permitted. Please see USEF AR 114 Breeding-In-Hand appointments. These rules will be enforced. BARN CALLS AND CLASS CALLS: Barn calls are a courtesy only. Every effort will be made to advise the exhibitor of any changes in the Tentative Schedule. Due to unforeseeable problems with any mechanical device, the public address system and paddock calls over that system must be considered a courtesy. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to be sure that their horse is at the gate at the prescribed time. CLASS SPLITTING OR COMBINING: Show management reserves this right as deemed necessary in order to ensure the comfort and safety of the exhibitors. Proper notice will be posted in the Show Office and barn announcements will be made. CODE OF CONDUCT ON THE SHOW GROUNDS AND ABUSE: Horses shall not be punished unnecessarily or severely anywhere on the show grounds. Actions including the excessive use of whips, excessive stimulation by noise or intimidation, excessive jerking or excessive circling of the horse, or intentional infliction of pain by any means (exception for emergency control of the horse) are forbidden in all parts of the show ground, or stable areas at all times. The Show Committee, Steward(s) and Veterinarian(s) all have the authority to take immediate action against any person in violation of this Code of Conduct. All rules as contained in the USEF Rulebook General Section apply as follows:
10
SUBCHAPTER 8-F WELFARE OF THE HORSE GR839 CRUELTY TO AND ABUSE OF A HORSE Cruelty to or the abuse of a horse by any person at a Licensed Competition is forbidden, constitutes a violation under Chapter 7, and renders the offender subject to penalty. The Show Committee must bar violators from further participation for the remainder of the competition. It is the duty of the competition officials and any properly constituted humane organization to report to the Federation any person who indulges in this practice for such further action as may be deemed appropriate. The Federation or the Judge or Steward may appoint a veterinarian to inspect any animal in competition. Refusal to submit an animal for examination by an authorized veterinarian after due notification shall constitute a violation. Any action(s) against a horse by a competitor or an exhibitor, which are deemed excessive by a judge, Federation steward, technical delegate or competition veterinarian, in the competition ring or anywhere on the competition grounds may be punished by official warning, elimination, or other sanctions which may be deemed appropriate by the Show Committee. Such action(s) could include but are not limited to excessive use of the whip, spurs, or bamboo poles. Competitors and exhibitors have the right to contest any action taken pursuant to GR839.5 by filing a protest or grievance pursuant to Chapter 6 of the Rules for hearing and determination by the Hearing Committee. DISGUISING OF EXHIBITS: No alteration of the basic color of the skin, coat or hooves is permitted. Colorless hoof varnishes, Vaseline or oil may be accepted. In halter classes horses may be fully or partly body clipped subject to eyelashes being intact, an unroached mane, and a full natural tail. Tactile hair left intact around the nose, muzzle and eyes is encouraged – judges are NOT to penalize horses shown naturally with such hair left intact. DISPUTE NOT COVERED BY RULES: Should any question or dispute arise not provided for in the governing rules, the same shall be referred to the Show Committee, whose decision will be final. DRUGS AND MEDICATIONS: The drugs and medication rules contained in USEF Rule Book Chapter 4 will be enforced. Please note this show is part of a Therapeutic Substance Group. Horses in competition will be subject to examination by a licensed veterinarian appointed by USEF. Said appointed licensed veterinarian, with approval of the USEF, may appoint a technician to perform certain duties under USEF Rules. The examination may include physical, saliva, urine, blood tests or any other test or procedure at the discretion of said licensed veterinarian necessary to effectuate the purposes of this rule. These representatives must be treated with respect. All horses will be charged $23.00 per horse: $15 Drugs and Medications to provide for research, inspection, 11
and enforcement of rules regarding use of medications and drugs; $8 USEF. Any exhibit may be tested at the request of a judge or steward. CAUTION: Refusal to submit a horse for examination, whether in competition or not, and to cooperate with the veterinarian and technicians until the samples have been taken, constitutes a violation and subjects the responsible person to the penalties under the rules. (Refer to USEF Chapter 4: Drugs and Medications.) EXHIBITOR CONDUCT, DISCIPLINE AND DISQUALIFICATION: Exhibitors are warned that any act of discourtesy or disobedience to staff or officials on the part of the owner, groom, rider, driver or member of the family of the person participating in the show, will disqualify the horse/rider from adjudication. The Management/Show Committee reserves to itself the right to remove any of the above named from the show without being liable for compensation or damages. See USEF GR12 Protests, Charges and Violations: It is within the jurisdiction of a Licensed Competition to disqualify a person and/or his entries and to cause him to forfeit his winnings and ribbons at that competition and for cause to have the horses removed from the grounds without being held for damage. All such disqualifications must be reported to the Federation. EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES: The Pyramid Society reserves the right, in its sole discretion and judgment, to cancel or alter the Event described in this agreement in the event of any occurrence beyond its control which, in its opinion, threatens the health, safety or wellbeing, of the horses or participants. In the event of such cancellation or alteration, the recourse against The Pyramid Society shall be limited solely to a refund of any exhibitor’s fees previously paid to The Pyramid Society. HOLDING PADDOCK CONDUCT: The holding paddock area is only for those horses exhibiting/entering the class being called. NO horse in other classes will be allowed in the holding paddock. Each handler will be allowed ONE attendee in the holding paddock to help animate the horse in a CONTROLLED manner. According AR 114 a small appendage at the end of the whip is allowed as follows: “Whips are to be no longer than 6’ including snapper/ lash/appendage. Small appendages (no more than 12 inches in length) of ribbon, plastic, etc. are permitted.” The Show Steward, the Show Manager and the Show Committee has the right to deem any accessory as unsuitable, it if affects the safety or stress of those involved. Please use extreme caution with horses and other exhibitors. ALL ACTIVITY TO ANIMATE THE HORSE MUST TAKE PLACE IN THE DESIGNATED HOLDING PADDOCK! NO ACTIVITY SUCH AS RUNNING THE HORSE ON ANY ROADWAY WILL BE ALLOWED. Only the horse entering and the horse on deck will be allowed the use of the attendee and accessory for animation. ALL OTHER HORSES ARE TO REMAIN QUIET AND AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE ENTRY GATE. The purpose of the foregoing rules is to encourage the expression of natural Arabian charisma in a controlled and safe environment. The use and scope of assistants in animating horses is at the SOLE discretion of the Show Manager and the Show Committee. 12
HORSE ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE: Horses competing in the 2019 Egyptian Event MUST meet the definition as set forth by THE PYRAMID SOCIETY for either STRAIGHT EGYPTIAN or EGYPTIAN-SIRED/BRED.

INDEMNITY AND NON-RESPONSIBILITY: All entries are accepted with the understanding that The Pyramid Society will not be held responsible for any loss, damage or injury to any horse exhibited or any article of any kind. All horses shall be under the control and direction of the Show Committee but solely at the risk of the exhibitor, who will be responsible for any loss, damage or injury to any person, animals or property occasioned by him, his agents or employees, or by any animal owned or exhibited by him, and shall indemnify The Pyramid Society (including its Officers, Directors, Trustees and any Sponsors), The Kentucky Horse Park, the City of Lexington and Fayette County against any and all loss, damages and liability thus occasioned, including, but not limited to, any and all legal costs, including attorney fees, which may be incurred as a result thereof. Exhibitors, grooms, handlers, owners, etc. are hereby warned that they may not use any device or conduct which may cause harm to any other person(s) horses, or equipment. THE SUBMISSION OF A SIGNED ENTRY FORM TO THE SECRETARY SHALL CONSTITUTE AN ACCEPTANCE BY EACH PERSON OF THE PROVISIONS HEREIN SET FORTH. JUDGES AND SUBSTITUTIONS: The Show Committee reserves the right to substitute any Competition Official, including Judges, for the one who is officially designated in the Premium List, according to current USEF Rules. No contact shall be made with the Judges during the period of the show unless accompanied by a member of the Show Committee designated by the Committee for such purpose. Further, no exhibitor shall approach a Judge regarding a decision unless he first obtains permission from the Steward, who shall arrange an appointment with the Judge at a proper time and place. MULTIPLE HORSES PER HANDLER: Handlers are allowed to exhibit multiple horses per class in all Futurity, Straight Egyptian Open and Egyptian-Sired Open classes. Excluded are the EBC, Miscellaneous classes, and All ATH and JTH classes, where a horse must be handled and shown in the entire class by one and the same person. 13

STABLING INFORMATION STALL RESERVATIONS & ASSIGNMENTS: The trainer or individual who reserves stalls is responsible for payment. If you wish to be stabled with or near a specific group, stall reservations must be sent in together. First refusal will be given to exhibitors who wish to reserve all the same stalls (with no additions or subtractions), under the same name as in the previous year, provided the reservation and payment are received by the July 1, 2019 deadline. If you request additional stalls, please indicate the requested number on the reservation form. If additional stalls are not available in your original location, indicate whether you prefer the additional stalls in another location, or whether you would like to move to a location that can accommodate your entire stall request. Second priority for stall requests will be determined by the postmarked date of requests received with full payment. The Show Manager handles all stall assignments. Verbal stall reservations will not be accepted. No gifting of stalls. Stalls are the property of The Pyramid Society. Stalls can be held and loaned to others, as long as the farm holding the stalls is still exhibiting horse(s) in the Event, and decorating all of the stalls. The year after a farm has not exhibited horses, they must relinquish those stalls and they revert back to The Pyramid Society. Large blocks of stalls may become available from time to time and The Pyramid Society will try to keep these blocks intact. The stalls will be assigned by request and their assignment is the sole discretion of Show Management. Past participation at the Egyptian Event as well as previous stabling location will be factors in determining the new occupants. In an effort to meet all exhibitors’ stabling needs, and to maintain flexibility to accommodate changes in stall requests, stabling assignments will not be given until the week prior to the Egyptian Event. REGULAR PRICING (for horse and tack stalls): A) Premium A Stalls—grassy sides of Barns 1 & 5 B) Premium B Stalls—other sides of Barns 1 & 5, all of Barns 6-7 C) Standard Stalls—all other stall locations, barns 2, 3, 4

COMPETITION JUDGING AND SCORING SYSTEMS NOTE: “EXHIBITORS MEETING FOR OWNERS & HANDLERS" Tuesday, August 27, 2019 at 4:00 p.m., Covered Arena In-gate: Ring procedure and Code of Conduct for the 2019 Egyptian Event will be discussed and strictly enforced. The 2019 Egyptian Event Judging will employ a four (4) judge rotational panel for Breeding in Hand classes (Halter). Three judges will be adjudicating the class in “center ring” while one will serve as a Ring Monitor for violations. The fourth (4th) judge will not be evaluating and scoring the horses during the class. He or she will be tasked with monitoring the ring for any penalties as outlined in this Prize List allowing the “center ring” judges to focus on scoring or ranking the entries. ALL judges will have penalty cards in their possession and at any time any judge may choose to issue a penalty as per the guidelines contained in this Prize List. WE ENCOURAGE ALL EXHIBITORS, TRAINERS, AND OWNERS TO PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE PRIZE LIST CAREFULLY! IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND ALL RULES AND THE VIOLATIONS THAT MAY RESULT IN POTENTIAL PENALTY ASSESSMENTS AND/OR ELIMINATION FROM COMPETITION. THE MODIFIED EUROPEAN JUDGING SYSTEM (*E) (*E denotes Modified European Judging System in the class schedule) Used in: ALL Futurity Classes (Straight Egyptian, and Extended Specialty) ALL Straight Egyptian Open Classes (excluding Championships) Egyptian Sired Open Classes (excluding Championships) Three judges from the rotational panel will utilize The Egyptian Event Standard of Excellence Scorecard (which is based on The Pyramid Society Standard of Excellence) and evaluate and score the entries from 1-20 in .5 increments in the following categories: (multiplied by x) Type (x 5) Balance, Quality and Substance at the Walk (x 4) Head (x 4) Neck and Shoulder (x 4) Body and Topline (x 4) Legs and Hooves (x 4) Movement (x 4) In the event of a tied score, the tie will be broken in the above order beginning with the total Type score. If the tie is still unbroken, the Call Judge’s card will break the tie.
28
DISQUALIFICATIONS: If a horse is disqualified from a class that has been scored, adjustment to the class placing is made as follows: The number of horses shown is reduced by one only if the disqualified horse was not eligible to participate in the class. The disqualified horse is removed from the scored rankings and each of the horses placing below the disqualified horse are moved up one award place. In the event of a total point tie in the “Reserve� horse that will move into the last place, the tie shall be broken as above. Under no circumstances will the class be re-scored.
29
THREE JUDGES TOTAL POINT SYSTEM: (*T) (*T Denotes Three Judge Total Point Judging System in the class schedule) Used in: Egyptian Breeders Challenge Classes (EBC) All American Straight Egyptian Challenge Cup ALL Amateur and Junior to Handle Classes Egyptian “50 For 50” AATH Amateur Owner Trained and Shown Traditional Standup Get of Sire and Produce of Dam Classes Most Classic Head and Liberty Classes ALL CHAMPIONSHIPS (EXCLUDING PERFORMANCE AND LIBERTY CHAMPIONSHIPS) Three judges in each class are numbered 1, 2 and 3 with judge #1 designated as the "Call" judge. Each judge will independently place, in order of preference, the number of entries to be awarded. This number may be adjusted by the actual number of entries shown in the class. If applicable, an additional Reserve horse entry will also be recorded on the judges card. The Reserve entry on the judges' cards are never used in the scoring of a class and may be used only upon the disqualification of a placing entry as described under "DISQUALIFICATIONS." The total point score for each entry will then be calculated as the sum of the points earned by placings over all three of the judge’s cards. A tie on points will be resolved as described under "RESOLUTION BY CALL JUDGE." Candidate horses for Champion or First place are selected from the highest placed horse on each of the judge’s cards. If the same horse appears more than once in the candidate list, that horse wins. If three different horses appear as candidates, the one having the highest total points will be named the winner. A tie on points will be resolved as described under "RESOLUTION BY CALL JUDGE." The remainder of the placings will be awarded based on total points, with any ties resolved by the Call Judge. RESOLUTION BY CALL JUDGE: A tie on points will be resolved by the placings on the Number One (Call judge) card. The tied horse placed highest on this card wins the placing. If no tied horse appears on the Call judge’s card, the Number Two judge becomes the Call judge and the procedure is repeated. The procedure is extended to the Number Three judge if necessary. The initial Call judge for each placing resolution is always the Number One judge.
30
DISQUALIFICATIONS: If a horse is disqualified from a class that has been scored, adjustment to the class placing is made as follows: The number of horses shown is reduced by one only if the disqualified horse was not eligible to participate in the class. The disqualified horse is removed from the scored rankings and each of the horses placing below the disqualified horse are moved up one award place. In all cases where the scored results identified a "Reserve" entry, that horse shall be given the unassigned placing. If the scored results did not identify a "Reserve" entry and Reserve horses were entered on the judges’ cards, the unassigned placing will be given to (1) any horse appearing as the Reserve entry on more than one card, (2) the Reserve entry on the Call judges card. STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE: The Pyramid Society Standard of Excellence will serve as the Breed Standard for all judging. SINGLE JUDGE SYSTEM: (*S) (*S Denotes Single Judge System in the Class Schedule) Used In: All Performance Classes qualifying as well as Championships Amateur Owner Trained and Shown Sport Horse Style All Performance classes will be adjudicated by a single judge and will be adjudicated comparatively.

Judging begins when the first horse enters the arena. From the moment the horse enters the arena its Movement is being evaluated and scored. Each horse shall enter the arena in a clockwise manner and proceed around the arena along the rail to the out-gate where they will exit the arena and remain relaxed in the holding paddock. Horses shall be encouraged to move with cadence, elegance, impulsion and charismatic animation at the trot exhibiting authentic Arabian Type. Emphasis shall be placed on a free moving horse with a naturally animated carriage. Excessive circling and shanking to intimidate the horse will be penalized in the Movement score. Collective Walk on a loose line: The horse shall walk in a natural manner on a loose lead with the handler at the side of their horse, whips down. The lead must maintain a drape and the handler must not place their hand on the chain or close enough to in any way restrict the natural head and neck motion. The handler may not unnecessarily impede the forward motion of the horse while at the walk except for safety and spacing reasons. At this time Balance, Quality and Substance at the Walk will be judged. Shanking or the positioning of the whip to intimidate the horse will be penalized in the Balance, Quality and Substance at the Walk score.
32
Presentation: Each horse from oldest to youngest will proceed to a designated point on the rail to await judging. At the instruction of the Ring Steward, each horse shall be led to the judge(s) at the walk, continue past the judges at the walk in a straight line, return at the walk and be presented for judging. In order to satisfy a proper presentation to the judge(s), horses should stand correctly, bearing weight on all four feet (not stretched), with at least one front and one rear cannon bone perpendicular to the ground. The horse shall be shown in a quiet and deliberate manner with no undue stress placed on the horse. An alert and attentive pose is allowed with the natural charisma, pride and intelligent personality of the Arabian emphasized. Elevation of the head and neck are allowed but should not exceed a horizontal plane where the nostrils are higher than the eyes. Any horse exhibited in such manner will be asked by the Judge(s) to lower their head. At NO TIME IS INTIMIDATION OF THE HORSE ALLOWED. Signs of intimidation may include but are not limited to, crouching, cowering, quivering, withdrawing or evading backwards or sideways from the handler, buckling at the knees, sudden extreme flinching or shying the head away from hand or whip movements of the handler, anxious pinning of the ears and wringing of the tail. A fearful or intimidated horse will be penalized and may be excused. A light correction or cue to the horse to position, gain control or whoa is acceptable. The only shanking allowed shall be limited to an unruly horse in order to regain control. “Shanking� is considered the use of the lead and/or chain in a harsh and forceful manner. The whip is not mandatory. We encourage exhibitors to show without a whip and use grass or treats to gain the attention and expression of their horse. ANY contact of the horse with the whip at any time during the class is subject to mandatory elimination. In addition to any potential penalty assessment, any exhibitor violating these rules will be asked to drop their whip and stand quietly at the side of their horse while judging is completed.
CLASS TYPE D: CHAMPIONSHIP RING PROCEDURE CLASSES: All CHAMPIONSHIP CLASSES EXCEPT FOR PERFORMANCE AND LIBERTY Inclusive Championship: The Egyptian Event utilizes an INCLUSIVE Championship Scoring System for all Championship classes. Under such a system all entries are treated equally in a championship class, regardless of the score or placing earned in the qualifying classes. As such, ANY entry forward in a Championship may be awarded the title of Gold Champion or Champion. All Championships will be judged independently and comparatively. The judges must not confer. Judges will examine all horses individually: walking, trotting, and standing.
33
Entrance at the Trot: All qualified horses to be shown individually at the beginning of each championship class. Judging begins when the first horse enters the arena and from the moment the horse enters the arena it is being evaluated. Each horse shall enter the arena at a trot on a loose line in a clockwise (exception: amateur classes will be counter-clockwise) manner and proceed around the entire circumference of the ring. Horses shall be encouraged to move with cadence, elegance, impulsion and charismatic animation at the trot exhibiting authentic Arabian Type. Emphasis shall be placed on a free moving horse with a naturally animated carriage. Excessive circling and shanking to intimidate the horse not related to control will be penalized. The first horse to enter will be the oldest entry according to birthdate. Horses will be presented in birthdate order from oldest to youngest until every horse has been trotted individually for the Championship judging panel. The individual presentations at the trot should optimize the opportunity for the Championship judging panel to properly assess not only overall quality and capability of movement, but Arabian type, presence, attitude and charisma as well, for each championship entry. Following the trot, each entry shall exit the ring following the instructions of the Ring Steward. Holding Paddock: All entries MUST remain in the designated warm-up/holding paddock throughout the entire championship class process or at least until the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Most Classic winners (or the Champion and Reserve Champion winners) for that class have been announced by the Paddock Announcer. While in the holding paddock and not “on deck� or entering the arena all entries must remain relaxed. Any entry not complying with these requirements will be eliminated from further judging in the championship class and WILL NOT be eligible for any championship award. Collective Walk on a loose line: Immediately following the individual presentations at the trot, all championship entries shall enter the ring collectively at a walk in a clockwise (exception: amateur classes will be counterclockwise) direction in the same order they entered at the trot (by birthdate oldest to youngest). The purpose of this presentation is to allow the Judging Panel to collectively assess the balance, quality and substance of the championship entries at a natural walk. The first entry shall circle clockwise at a walk around the entire circumference of the ring completing one (1) complete circle at the instruction of the Ring Steward(s). Each successive entry shall follow the entry ahead of them at the walk according to the instruction of the Ring Steward(s) until all entries have been evaluated by the Judging Panel. The horse shall walk in a natural manner on a loose lead with the handler at the side of their horse, whips down. The lead must maintain a drape and the handler must not place their hand on the chain or close enough to in any way restrict the natural head and neck motion except for safety and control. The handler may not unnecessarily impede the forward motion of the horse while at the walk except for safety, control and spacing reasons. Exhibitors may be penalized or excused for violation of the rules. At the direction of the Ringmaster all horses shall then line up for presentation to the judges. 34
Presentation: At the direction of the Ring Master, Exhibitors shall line up their horses in two (2) equal lines, one on either side of center ring and parallel to the audience. The first entry shall proceed from the collective walk along the rail to the end of the arena opposite the in-gate. The first half (4 6 horses) of the championship candidates shall line up head-to-tail behind the initial entry and all should face the Photo Backdrop. The second line of championship candidates shall form a line beginning with the first horse in the second half (4-6 horses) of the class, on the out-gate side of the arena, near the out-gate. The remainder of the horses shall line up head-to-tail behind this horse and then all horses in that line shall turn and face the Photo Backdrop. All horses should leave adequate space for showing and adjudicating. Entries should be evenly spaced in each line with at least 10 ft (3 m) of space between horses head-to-tail. The lining up of horses DOES NOT indicate a ranking of horses in a Championship. Horses are simply lined up head-to-tail in two lines according to birthdate (oldest to youngest) to allow the audience a better view of each entry as well as adequate space between entries for horses to be exhibited properly and adjudicated thoroughly. ALL horses are considered equal in each Championship class regardless of the line in which they stand. Each exhibit has an equal chance of being named Gold Champion or Champion by any judge, no matter where they are positioned in the ring during a Championship. The total number of horses in each line will depend on the total number of horses qualified for each Championship. With six (6) horses qualified, each line will consist of three (3) horses each. Should seven (7) horses be qualified, the first line shall contain three (3) horses and the second line will contain four (4) horses. If eight (8) horses are qualified, each line will be comprised of four (4) horses each. Should nine (9) horses be qualified, the first line shall be comprised of four (4) horses, and the second line comprised of five (5) horses Should ten (10) horses be present and shown, each line shall possess five (5) entries each. If eleven (11) horses qualify, the first line shall be comprised of five (5) horses, and the second line comprised of six (6) horses. In the event of twelve horses qualified, each line shall consist of six (6) entries each. In the event there are less than six (6) horses qualified for the Championship, all horses shall be in one line at the discretion of the Ring Master. Each entry will then be presented INDIVIDUALLY to determine championship placing. No individual scores shall be awarded – all judging in the championship classes shall be comparative. Judges will move as a group to evaluate each horse in succession. The Judges will make individual decisions about the horses, proceeding as a group is for viewing and ring control purposes only. All three judges simultaneously will begin adjudicating each entry by first evaluating the oldest horse by birthdate in the class. Judges will then proceed as a group to the next entry, until all horses have been evaluated by the Judging Panel in oldest to youngest order. 35
During the collective evaluation of each Championship class, immediately following the collective walk, exhibitors are ONLY allowed to stand-up/show and/or prepare horses for presentation when the Judging Panel is either evaluating their horse or evaluating the horse immediately prior (“on deck”). Only TWO (2) horses should be showing or in a presentation stance at any time in the arena during the group evaluation by the Judges. All other horses will be controlled by their handlers in a non- threatening manner and may not be schooled or stand in a presentation stance. While waiting for the Judging Panel, exhibitors are encouraged to stand alongside the horse facing the audience until the group of Judges has moved into a position near them to allow for preparation and presentation of their entry. Controlled circling and positioning the horse for presentation to the judge(s) is allowed for the horse “on deck” and the horse being evaluated by the judges. The only shanking allowed shall be limited to an unruly horse in order to regain control. A light correction or cue to the horse to position, gain control or whoa is acceptable. “Shanking” is considered the use of the lead and/or chain in a harsh and forceful manner. The presentation to the Judges will follow the same description as in the Qualifying classes. All rules and restrictions as written for individual presentation to the judge(s) in the qualifying classes shall apply to the Championship classes as well. Any handler deemed in violation of those rules and restrictions will be asked to drop their whip and stand at their horse’s side. If a horse is to be penalized according to those rules – it will be done in the final ranking. There are no penalty points in non-scored classes. Once an entry has been evaluated, exhibitors MUST cease from presenting the exhibit until all horses have been evaluated by the Judging Panel collectively. As with the horses waiting to be evaluated, exhibitors are encouraged to stand alongside the horse facing the audience until all exhibits have been evaluated. All horses not being shown will be controlled by their handlers in a nonthreatening manner and may not be schooled or stand in a presentation stance. At the conclusion of the individual judging all handlers will be asked to exhibit their horses for final placing in their presentation stance. The rules and restrictions as written for individual presentation in the qualifying classes will apply at all times during this class including this final evaluation period. Any handler deemed in violation of those rules and restrictions will be asked to drop their whip and stand at their horses’ side. The judges may excuse any entry for violation of the rules and restrictions. When all judging is complete the Handlers will be asked to relax while numbers are verified. Upon verification of numbers all horses will be excused from the ring, the winners will be announced in the Holding Paddock and enter the ring for their awards individually. (Exception: In the Amateur Championships at the discretion of Show Management the entries may remain relaxed in the arena while awards are being presented)

CLASS TYPE M: MISCELLANEOUS CLASSES GET OF SIRE AND PRODUCE OF DAM The Get of Sire and Produce of Dam classes will be adjudicated by the Three Judge Total Point System, using three of the four rotational judges. Ties will be broken following the “Resolution by Call Judge” System as described on page 31. ENTRANCE AT THE WALK: At the direction of the Ringmaster each “entry” (consisting of 2 or more horses sired by the same stallion or the produce of the same dam for the respective classes) shall proceed into the arena at the walk along the rail single file. Each entry shall be in Birthdate order from oldest to youngest. PRESENTATION: At the direction of the Ringmaster, upon reaching a designated spot on the rail the entries shall turn and walk to line up in Center Ring. Each entry shall line up head to tail at the direction of the Ringmaster. The judges will adjudicate each horse individually using The Pyramid Standards of Excellence as a guide. Exhibitors are allowed to present their horses to the judges in a presentation stance at this time. ALL RULES AND RESTRICTIONS AS FOUND IN CLASS TYPE C IN THE RING PROCEDURE COMPARATIVE AS IT RELATES TO THE PRESENTATION WILL APPLY. This includes all potential penalties and/or elimination. A walk or trot of each entry (group) is optional at the Call Judges discretion. Emphasis is to be placed on reproductive likeness, uniformity, quality of breed characteristics, conformation and similarity. Each judge shall rank the entries on their card through tenth (10th) place The Three Judge Total Point System will be used to determine the Class Winners. *Please note this is the ONLY Halter class that does not enter by Birthdate. The entries will enter by back number, from LOWEST TO HIGHEST. MOST CLASSIC HEAD The Most Classic Head Awards will be adjudicated by the Three Judge Total Point System, using three of the four rotational judges. Using The Pyramid Society Standard of Excellence as a guide the judges will consider the head of the horses in the Straight Egyptian Championships for this award. Each judge will name one winner for each class. The winning entry does not have to be chosen from those horses listed as placed on that judges’ Championship card. This award is a separate placing entirely. Ties will be broken by the Call Judges card.

(see below for Class and Scoring Procedures and Appointments) Class Procedure: 1. Following a posted order, entries in each class will enter arena and proceed to the judging area one at a time, walk to the apex of the triangle.

triangle at the walk and trot, returning to the apex and wait for further instructions. At the completion of the judging, the handler will lead the horse away from the judging area and exit the arena. The triangle may be adjusted to fit local conditions. 2. Triangle: Corners should be well defined. A marker will be used at the apex and at each corner to define placement of the turn for the exhibitor. Use of plants or flowers is allowed.
3. The horse is to be shown in an “open position,” for conformation judging. The traditional way of showing open position would be with the right front leg slightly back and the right hind leg slightly forward; but as long as all four legs of the horse are visible to the judge when standing on either side of the horse, this would be acceptable. The horse’s head and neck should be allowed to show in a natural and comfortable carriage, and the handler should stand away from the horse with a loose lead line. 4. A whip may be used to guide the horse. Scoring Procedures: 1. Horses will be shown individually on the triangle. 2.

A scribe shall be provided for each judge whose main duty is to record the judge’s scores and comments on the score sheets. The scribe may be asked to transfer scores from the individual sheets to the master score sheet. 5. Tied scores for Sport Horse In-Hand shall be broken first by referring to Type, then Movement, then Conformation (total score), then Quality, Balance and Harmony and finally Character. If the horses are still tied, the judge, will make a final tie-breaking decision. 6. Scores shall be reported as a total based on the stated percentages against a possible total of 100% and all scores and placings must be posted. Unofficial scores may be posted during the class and/or final score may be posted at the end of each class. 7. If a mathematical error on the score sheet is discovered, it must be brought to the attention of competition management within one hour of the official posting of the scores from the last class of the competition day. Competition management must announce said posting and must make score sheets available to competitors immediately. Appointments 1. Both Dressage-type and Hunter-type appointments (tack and attire) are permitted. Competitors with non-conforming appointments will be eliminated from judging consideration. 2.
