This is for any horse of any type, colour, breed or size. The Veteran Horse Society has affiliated classes in several sections.
The Pre-Veteran horse/pony is for animals of between 15-19 years, the Veteran is for horses 20-24 years, and the Veteran Plus are 25+. Details of the classes can be found on the Veteran Showing page. The Society also runs performance awards.
All classes are split by inhand and ridden, with all horses and ponies together, and marks are not deducted for healed scars or injuries as long as the horse is completely sound. In-depth details on the marking system for the VHS classes can be found on their website. The VHS classes culminate in a final at Olympia .
Non-VHS-affiliated classes may have different marking rules, at the judge's discretion.
