THE $2500.00 SPORTPONY STAR SEARCH   CHALLENGE CUP

2006 will prove an exciting year for Sport ponies as it is the inaugural of the "Sport pony Star Search Challenge Cup".  This coveted Cup Class will showcase 15 qualifiers from selected Sport pony shows across Ontario and Eastern USA with the winner being selected and awarded royally. The final judging of this challenge will take place at the Toronto Royal Winter Fair. This will give the opportunity for line sport ponies of all ages to shine.

CRITERIA TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF QUALIFIERS
There will be a selection of Sport pony Shows participating in this Challenge.  Ponies eligible to participate will be those individuals that meet the standards set out for the American Sport pony Registry. They may be registered or may not be at this time and no restrictions will be made as to the ponies’ nationality or origin.  Each show will produce 3 qualifiers.   At these shows the highest placed pony 2 years and under   will be selected as a Sport pony Star Search Qualifier of that show.  If there is more than one class offered for this age group or sex group the highest placed candidate will be judged at the conclusion of the show for the qualifier.
This same system will take place to select the qualifying mare or gelding 3 years and over (as of January 1^st of that year).   The 3^rd qualifier will be the stallion 3 years and over.  Once an individual has qualified the animal 2^nd to it in its primary class becomes eligible to become a qualifier at the remaining shows.  The judge will always name a reserve to each qualifier.  If for some reason an awarded qualifier cannot participate in the finals following the conclusion of the shows then the pony that was reserved can take its place, thus maintaining the final numbers presented.
The qualifiers will then come forward for the final judging with one selected as the SPORTPONY STAR SEARCH CHAMPION.
AWARDS AND INCENTIVES
Every qualifier will be presented with a Sport pony Star Search qualifier ribbon.  The overall wining SPORTPONY STAR SEARCH CHAMPION will win an award of $1500.00 Canadian, Championship sash and presentation blanket.  If the winner is a registered American Sport pony it will win an additional award of $1000.00 Canadian that is generously offered by the American Sport pony Registry.  The Morton Sport pony Star Search Challenge Cup will be presented to the winner.  Prior to each year’s judging this trophy will be returned in the original condition to be re- presented.

*The committee of the Sport pony Star Search Challenge Cup has the right to alter/change and make decisions to the running of this program.

THE WELSH CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS – 2006

Three (3) Champions per show will qualify for the Finals, to be held at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.  These champions will be picked from the following categories: Two years old and under – Colt, Filly, or Gelding Section A, B, C, and D: Yeld Mare/Broodmare – Section A, B, C, and D: Stallion/Gelding – Section A, B, C, and D

THE FIRST PLACE FOAL from Sections A, B, C, and D; THE FIRST PLACE YEARLING from Sections A, B, C, and D; and the FIRST PLACE TWO-YEAR OLD from Sections A, B, C, and D will be judged together and the winner will be considered the TWO-YEAR OLD AND UNDER CHAMPION of that particular show.  This winner will be the qualifier that goes forward for final judging at The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in November.  The SAME CRITERIA WILL BE USED FOR THE YELD MARE AND BROODMARE DIVISION AND THE STALLION/GELDING DIVISION – WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS FOR SECTION B AND FOR SECTION C & D ONLY.  Should the YELD MARE/BROODMARE and/or the STALLION/GELDING classes be combined at any of the above-mentioned qualifying shows, or, should the Two-Year Old and Under class be combined, then the First and Second Place ribbon winners will advance to be judged for the Best Yeld Mare/Broodmare, the Best Stallion/Gelding or Best Two-Year Old and Under of that show.  The winner of each category will then advance to the final judging at The Royal.

Please Note: Once an animal has qualified for the finals of THE WELSH CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS, it is no longer eligible to compete for a berth in the 2006 finals.

THE C.E.F. WELSH RULES ARE TO APPLY FOR THE CHAMPIONS.

All Ponies and Cobs must be registered in a Welsh Stud Book.  Foals of the current year must be eligible for registrations.  Qualifying Welsh Ponies and Cobs may be drug tested at the discretion of the Shows.  Handlers in all qualifier classes must be appropriately dressed.  Handlers wearing jeans, shorts or halter tops or T-shirst will not be eligible to handle ponies.  For final judging, formal attire is required.  Should one for the Finalists be unable to appear in THE WELSH CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS at The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, then the Chairperson of these Championships MUST BE NOTIFIED at least one (1) month before the final judging is to take place.  The Chairperson then has the right to advance the Reserve of the Qualifier.  The Reserve of the Qualifier would then be eligible to receive any awards being presented to the Finalists at the CHAMPIONSHIPS.

The event will be judged immediately after the Welsh Breeding Division classes in the exercise ring in the Horse Palace.  The presentation of the winner will be made at the Evening Performance in the Main Coliseum during the Evening Performance of the Horse Show.  Chairperson – Shirley Cane (905) 986-4558

2006 Eastern Welsh Circuit

The Eastern Welsh Circuit, first established in 1991, gives high score awards in various Welsh divisions for points accumulated at a group of Welsh shows in the East.  The purpose of the circuit is to help promote Welsh shows and to provide an incentive for competing in Welsh breeding and performance divisions.

The following shows were in the circuit for 2005:

Virginia WPCS Spring Fling, Leesburg, VA

New England Welsh Pony Society, Springfield, MA

Penn-Marydel Welsh Pony, Bel Air, MD

Northeastern Welsh Pony Assn., Syracuse, NY

Garden State Welsh Pony Show, Sussex, NJ

The divisions offered this year will be as follows:

The points will be accumulated from all participating shows on a 5-3-2-1 basis with 3 points for champion and 2 points for reserve.  No points will be given for grand or supreme champions.  In the performance pleasure divisions, classes for Western equipment will not count.

A pony must compete in a minimum of 2 shows in the same division in order to be eligible for awards in that division.

Four ribbons – Champion, Reserve, third and fourth – will be given for each division and a trophy or prize will be given to all Champions and possibly Reserve Champions.  Plans are underway to have another gala event for the presentation of the awards in December.
