The SEA Schooling show Gaited Division uses FOSH rules as guidelines.
A FOSH Sanctioned show is one that agrees to follow the IJA rules as the standard for judging.
216 Prohibited Substances
• Any foreign substance found on the leg of any pleasure horse from the knee to the coronary band is prohibited. This includes dyes, French chalk, lubricants, or medications.
• The use of plastic wrap is prohibited on all gaited horses. Although an injury at a show may require that the limb of a horse be wrapped in plastic, a veterinarian’s certificate of need will be required for the horse to remain on the show ground. Once the limb has been so wrapped the horse is ineligible for any further competition at the show.
• Tails may not be “gingered” or the rectum otherwise interfered with in order to increase the appearance of high tail set.
• Any form of medication, that could alter the deportment of the horse or enhance performance is prohibited.
217 Prohibited Appliances
*Action devices (including shackles or any similar device), stacked shoes, and bands on shoes are prohibited. Anything larger than the 1-inch shoe is prohibited. Any device that is not primarily protective and may be considered an artificial training device is prohibited.
218 Prohibited Conduct
*Unsportsmanlike or intimidating language or conduct is prohibited. Conduct at any time that in any manner appears directed at influencing judging or the outcome of any competition, other than pursuant to FOSH rules and procedures and the provision of training materials and information approved by the FOSH Board of Directors for such purposes, is prohibited.
