Bethan Simons investigates Marks of Is the marks system the ultimate tool for accountability and clarity? Or does it open the door to backlash, human error and being subject to the judge\u2019s short-term memory?<\/p>\n

Pictures by Peter Nixon and Elli Birch\/Boots and Hooves CASUAL conversation sparked a revolution in the show ring: the introduction of marks in the assessment of classes. \u201cIt was 1994,\u201d says pony breeder Tom Best. \u201cAt that time, there was only one section for ponies at the Horse of the Year Show [HOYS], which was judged using a marks system at the \ufb01nal; at local level, a marks system was already in use in working hunter pony classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was in discussion with the late Jim McTi\ufb03n \u2013 vice chairman of the BSPS [British Show Pony Society] at the time \u2013 about the number of complaints about judging at HOYS quali\ufb01ers that I simply asked if there were complaints about working hunter pony results. If not, why not use marks in \ufb02at classes, too?\u201d Tom later set the seed for a move to a marks system by proposing the idea at the BSPS Scotland AGM and the BSPS judges\u2019 conference.<\/p>\n

Credit: Elli Birch\/Boots and Hooves Vetting issues THE 34th National Equine Forum (news, p4) was again a great meeting of industry minds highlighting the biggest issues. Dr June Fanning, chief veterinary o\ufb03cer for Ireland, demonstrated the bene\ufb01t of \u201cnot wasting a crisis\u201d. By timelining the actions taken after terrible scenes came to light in footage from an abattoir in 2024, she proved what can be done in a short time for the good of the horse. The most compelling panel discussion was that between vets and a horse dealer, Julie Martin.<\/p>\n

Julie detailed how horse sales are down where more horses are being deemed unsuitable for their intended purpose at vetting, or the buyer walks away due to insurance exclusions even if the horse is deemed suitable. The system also puts untenable pressure on vets, who face litigation if something is \u201cmissed\u201d. The solution? For buyers to appreciate there is no \u201cperfect\u201d, and that a clean bill of health today doesn\u2019t guarantee an ailment-free experience?<\/p>\n

Responsibility also goes to buyers to ensure they are considering their riding ability and all management factors \u2013 these will change the horse from the one they rode at the seller\u2019s yard.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
