IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OWNERS INVOLVED IN SHOWING ANIMALS AT ISA SHOWS
EXHIBITORS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE
The Irish Shows Association would advise all Animal owners who have their Animals Insured to have the Insurance cover extended to cover them while showing Animals at Shows, it may cost very little or nothing at all depending on who you have Insurance with. The reason for giving this advice is that if your animal were to injure someone or damage someone’s property, and it is established that your animal was out of your control at that time, you may be held responsible or partly responsible for any injury or damage caused, and could end up paying all, or part of any Court Award or settlement reached. Horse-riding is a dangerous sport and all competitors in Ridden Classes are strongly advised, for their own safety, to wear appropriate head gear that complies with up-to-date safety standards.
MOVEMENT OF ANIMALS IRISH LAW (EU DIRECTIVE)
Under Irish Law all horses moving from one location to another must be accompanied by their passports. It is in your own interest to ensure this is the case. Failure to do so is an offence under Irish Law and is liable on summary conviction to result in a fine up to €3000. All passports must be registered with the name of the current owner.
PREMISES REGISTRATION; As from 1 May 2012, any premises (which includes shows, fairs and markets) where horses or other equines are gathered must be registered with the Department. Owners/persons in charge of such gatherings are required to submit a completed application form for registration and to keep records of movements on/off their premises. (This rule does not apply in Northern Ireland) Records must be retained for at least 3 years as they may be required by the Department for the purposes of tracing disease.
Records required are: The name and address of the owner/person in charge of the premises from which the equine came
- Premises registration number from which the equine came
- Passport number/UEL number of the animal
Embryo Transfer: Where a foal is produced by this method the dams passport must bear a declaration dated, stamped and signed by the stallion owner (or accredited practitioner where AI is involved) stating the date on which the dam was last covered (or inseminated) and the name of the covering stallion.
