GYS Competitor Information 2022

Schedules and entry forms for the Great Yorkshire Show will be available from March 2022.

Further details regarding each section will be available nearer the time.

Once timetables for competitors have been finalised for 2022 they will be available to view here.

As of 28 June 2022 a few changes have been made for this year’s Show.
 
Beef Cattle – change of Judge for British Blonde classes – Mr J Weightman
 
Equine
A change of judge in the following sections:
  • Highland Pony breed classes – Mrs M L Osborne
  • Mixed Mountain & Moorland In Hand classes – Mr M Northam
Please note the Mini M&M Lead Rein and First Ridden classes will be split this year due to large entries; they will be judged Even catalogue numbers, followed by the Odds.
The M&M First Ridden class will be judged before the Lead Rein.
Following the completion of the Dales pony classes on the Thursday, the Ridings Ring will become a warm up area for little jockeys competing in the LR and FR classes. The ring must be vacated by 13.50, so the ring can be prepared for the First Ridden at 14.00.
 
This is in response to a request regarding little jockeys having their own warm up area.
Vaccination Booster

Your horse/pony needs to have had a booster vaccination within 6 months of the show, i.e. AFTER 12th Jan 2022 but BEFORE 5th July 2022 to avoid the 7 day before competition rule AND their vaccination record prior to that booster must be valid and up to date, and we will permit previous annual boosters provided the last one has been given in the 6 months prior to coming to the show.

Or if they are re-starting a vaccination course, the second vaccine needs to be given at least 21 days after the first vaccination but again BEFORE the 5th July, to satisfy the 7 day rule and ensure they are sufficiently protected.

Anyone that hasn’t realised this must get this done immediately – For example:

If you are entered on Tuesday 12th – the latest you can have the injection is tomorrow – 5th July

If you are entered on Wednesday 13th – the latest you can have the injection is Wednesday – 6th July

If you are entered on Thursday 14th – the latest you can have the injection is Thursday – 7th July

If you are entered on Friday 15th – the latest you can have the injection is Friday – 8th July
