Important notes for all competitors:

QCAS Mandatory requirements state that Horse Health Declarations be completed for all horses attending QCAS affiliated Agricultural Shows and other equestrian events organised and run by show societies. It is therefore a requirement of the Oakey Show that the Horse Health Declarations and Competitor Waiver Forms are completed and handed in at the Horse Ring Tent, where you will receive your competitor’s wrist band. These forms must be completed prior to the riding/handling of horses on the showgrounds on Show Day.
Horse Ring Entry Tickets can be purchased after receipt of your competitor wristband. All Entries will be taken via the Southern Horse Ring Gate.
The Horse Health Declarations can be found at the end of Section A Horses within this schedule.
The declarations are required to be held on file by the Show Society for 2 years after the date of the horse event.
All horses on the showgrounds whether competing on the day or not need to be included on the Declaration.
The Society runs under QCAS rules and regulations at all times.

All Horses and Ponies must be registered in respective breeds to compete. Papers are to be available to view in all breed classes.
Local Classes – Horses and Riders must reside within 30km of the Oakey Showground.
Ponies must not exceed 14 hands.
Galloway Hacks shall be over 14 hands and NE 15 hands.
Stallions are not permitted to compete in Hack classes.
Judges decision is final. All protests must be in writing with the fee of $50.00 and forwarded to the Secretary within 30 minutes of the class finishing.
In the event of a tie prize money will be shared.
Competing horses must be drug free and sound. Random drug swabbing may occur.
Stallions are to have bits in their mouth at all times. Age limit on handlers.
Horses are either Show Horse or Show Hunter. They cannot compete in both except where stated.
All Riders must wear protective helmets that are to Australian Standard.
For safety, all Handlers must wear suitable footwear when leading horses.
Bullying is an issue in many sports today. The Oakey Show Society wishes to advise that bullying will not be accepted in any form at our show.
All tickets to be completed with horse’s name, owner and address details before entering ring.
A Maiden Hack is a Hack that has not won a Maiden Class in competition at any affiliated show. After winning a Maiden Hack Class, this horse will be recognized as a Novice.
A Novice Hack is a Hack that has not won a Champion at an affiliated show. After winning a Champion Hack, this horse will be recognized as Open.
The age of a Competitor is determined as at the first day of the show. The age of all horses is calculated as at 1st August. Newcomer – not to have started under saddle before 1/7 of the previous year.
Fire Ants- In Queensland, the Biosecurity Act 2014 requires everyone to take reasonable steps to prevent the spread of fire ants. Exhibitors of horses, beef cattle, angora goats or potted plants are reminded that Biosecurity Rules need to be followed to exhibit at the Oakey Show.
Anyone bringing hay, straw, chaff, silage or potted plants from Queensland Fire Ant Zones to and from the Oakey Showgrounds must comply with the current Queensland Fire ant movement requirements.
Anyone located inside the fire ant biosecurity zones and dealing with materials that can carry fire ants must follow their general biosecurity obligation by:
Checking the fire ant biosecurity zones before moving materials off-site.
Using fire ant-safe practices when handling, storing and removing materials.
Bedding may be brought to the Oakey Show, but must be left onsite at the conclusion of the show.
