"Panda Eye" Rule still in effect after June 5^th 2010

As of 1^st January 2010, the rule 31 a) for the Rules for Conduct of Shows, prohibiting Panda eyes came into force.

Time was allowed until 1^st of May, before sanctions for disobeying this rule were given. The Executive Committee decided in its meeting on 6th June, to review the "Panda Eye" Rule (31a RCS). However, for the time being, the rule stays as it is and will be fully enforced!
This means any horses appearing at a show with panda eyes are not being allowed to participate.

The Disciplinary Committee members have been given the following guidelines, which will be strictly applied at all shows:

1. According to art.31 a) RCS Panda eyes are not permitted.
2. Although the head and face of the horse may be clipped as stated in art.31 a) RCS, there will be no discernible ring of shorter hair around the eyes.
3. There will be ZERO tolerance for Panda eyes.
