Terms and Conditions – Online Horse Showing

Last Updated: 1 June 2026

Introduction

This document ("Agreement") sets out the terms and conditions governing use of the onlinehorseshowing.com website ("Website") and any associated products or services ("Services"). By accessing or using the Website or Services, you enter into a legally binding agreement with the Website operator ("Operator", "we", "us" or "our").

Online Horse Showing is operated by Jasmine Powell trading as Online Horse Showing. The Online Horse Showing competition is owned and managed by Jasmine Ashworth as show owner.

If you access the Website or Services on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you confirm that you have authority to bind that entity to this Agreement. References to "you", "your" or "User" refer to that entity. If you do not have such authority, or do not agree to these terms, you must not use the Website or Services.

By accessing or using the Website and Services, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a legally binding contract between you and the Operator, notwithstanding that it is electronic and not physically signed.

By entering any Online Horse Showing competition and using the Website, you agree to the following terms and conditions.

1. General Guidelines

Online Horse Showing is an equine-focused recreational competition unless expressly stated otherwise. Other animals may appear in submitted images, but the primary subject must always be the horse. Online Horse Showing is not affiliated with any breed registry or showing organisation.

2. Participation Disclaimer

Participation is undertaken entirely at your own risk. By entering, you acknowledge that images are judged against the criteria of the class entered and that any rosettes awarded are free gifts with no monetary value. Entry does not create any entitlement to a prize or rosette.

The Operator accepts no liability for injuries, incidents or losses arising from participation except where liability cannot legally be excluded. Judges’ decisions are final and shall not be challenged. Refunds are not provided for unplaced entries under any circumstances, except where required by law. Refunds are not provided for entries that remain unused, except where required by law and subject to any lawful deduction for processing, payment or transaction fees.

3. Entries and Image Requirements
Image Ownership and Permissions

Entrants must own, or have explicit written permission to use, all submitted images. Images containing watermarks across the subject are not accepted, though advertising or photographer credit watermarks are permitted.

Entrants must have permission from all individuals visible in submitted images. Misuse of images will result in disqualification and may, at the Operator’s discretion, result in a permanent ban.

Editing Rules

Basic digital editing is permitted only to improve image quality and presentation. Permitted adjustments include brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, sharpness, colour balance, cropping, straightening and black-and-white conversion, including selective colour.

Filters, including those from social media applications, are permitted but not encouraged. Background changes are permitted only where the replacement background is a single solid colour. Minor removals, such as lead reins or similar distractions, are permitted provided they do not alter the horse’s natural appearance, markings, conformation or condition.

All editing must be carried out manually using traditional, non-AI editing tools and must not change the horse’s physical characteristics.

Prohibited Additions

No editing may add new visual elements to the horse or significantly alter the original scene. The horse’s natural appearance, markings, colour, shape or condition must not be altered or enhanced.

Elements not present in the original photograph must not be added unless explicitly permitted in the class criteria. Decorative text, borders and clipart images are permitted across all classes, provided they do not obscure or alter the horse or the original photographed environment. Minor additions are permitted only where specifically stated.

AI Restrictions

AI is not permitted under any circumstances. AI tools or features, including background replacement, retouching, object removal or object addition, must not be used. Any editing that automatically generates, fills or alters image content is prohibited.

Any image found to have used AI will be disqualified unless a class explicitly states that AI editing is accepted.

Submission and Entry Requirements

All entries must be submitted in their completed state. The Operator does not provide editing, background or collage services and reserves the right to request original, unedited files to verify authenticity. Failure to provide these may result in disqualification without refund.

All entries must include the entrant’s full name, consisting of first name and surname, together with the horse’s name. Initials, nicknames, social media names, stable names or incomplete names may not be accepted.

If an entrant does not provide a full name, or provides an incomplete or unclear name, Online Horse Showing may use the name supplied with the payment, order, account, payment processor transaction or other checkout information for administration, judging records, results publication and prize fulfilment. Where the payment name does not identify the entrant, the entrant must contact Online Horse Showing before results are published.

By entering, you agree that your full name and horse’s name may be used for these purposes and may be published with results, placings, photographs or videos in accordance with these Terms.

Permission must be obtained for professionally taken images. Images depicting unsafe handling or poor horsemanship may be scored lower at the judge’s discretion. Appropriate safety equipment is recommended.

Repeat Image Restriction — Winning Entries

Any photograph or collage awarded 1st place in an Online Horse Showing competition may not be re-entered in the same or any subsequent class or show run by the Operator for one (1) calendar month following the announcement of results.

This restriction applies to the exact original winning entry and to any reproduction or derivative version that retains substantially the same composition, arrangement, or photographic content as the original entry, including but not limited to cropped, edited, resized, filtered, colour-adjusted, or rearranged versions.

A reworked collage will not be considered a prohibited variation provided that it is materially different in overall composition and layout, does not replicate the overall visual structure of the original winning collage, and contains at least one additional or alternative photograph not included in the original winning collage.

For clarity, an individual photograph that previously formed part of a winning collage may be submitted as a new entry during the restriction period only where the original winning collage contained four (4) or more photographs. The photograph must be entered as a standalone image and must not replicate the composition or structure of the original winning collage.

The Operator has sole and final authority to determine whether an entry constitutes a reproduction, derivative version, or materially different rework. Any entry found to breach this restriction will be disqualified without refund.

4. Classes and Deadlines

Classes with fewer than ten entries may be extended to the following month. Submission deadlines may be amended at the Operator’s discretion. Each horse and owner combination may enter the same class more than once.

For collage-based classes, entrants must prepare and submit their own collages. The Operator reserves the right to withdraw, merge or cancel classes at any stage. Where this occurs, entries may be transferred or deferred, but no additional refund or payment will be made.

5. Refunds and Eligibility

Refunds are provided only at the Operator’s discretion, except where required by law. Any processing, payment or transaction fees may be deducted from refunds where this is permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms affects any statutory rights that cannot legally be excluded.

Free entries and unused loyalty points are non-refundable and have no cash equivalent.

Refunds are not provided for unplaced entries under any circumstances, except where required by law. Refunds are not provided for judged entries, entries that remain unused, or entries disqualified for breach of these Terms, unless the Operator decides otherwise or a refund is required by law.

If an entry is deemed ineligible, entrants may be offered the option to reassign the entry or defer it to a future event.

6. Rosettes and Prizes

Rosettes are not guaranteed and are subject to availability unless otherwise stated.

Newcomers free rosettes apply only where eligibility conditions are met and stock is available. To qualify, the entrant must purchase two full-priced entries, one of which must be an eligible Newcomers entry.

Due to postal, customs, product safety and fulfilment restrictions, first-place physical prizes cannot currently be shipped to Northern Ireland or EU member states unless expressly stated otherwise. This restriction applies to first-place prizes only and does not automatically apply to rosettes, digital awards or other items unless stated. Where shipment is not possible, no substitute prize, refund or cash alternative will be issued.

Prizes for sponsored classes are fulfilled by the sponsor. Prizes are non-transferable, non-substitutable and have no cash alternative. Unclaimed prizes are retained for six months and then forfeited.

Entrants must ensure address details are accurate. The Operator is not responsible for items lost or misdirected due to incorrect information.

7. Postage and Delivery

UK entrants receive free standard delivery using a postal service selected at the Operator’s discretion, which may include Royal Mail Second Class or an alternative service. Delivery times are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed.

International entrants are responsible for all postage fees, customs duties and import charges. The Operator is not liable for items lost or damaged in transit.

8. Free Entries and Loyalty Points

One free entry is awarded for every two full-price entries purchased to a specific class, excluding charity entries and “Everyone’s a Winner” classes. Free entries must be used within their validity period and cannot be exchanged or refunded.

Loyalty points accrue at a rate of one point per £3.50 spent on paid entries, excluding charity entries and “Everyone’s a Winner” classes, and are valid for 12 months from the date of the last qualifying purchase.

9. Judging, Results and Publication

Judging commences after the official closing date. Judges have three days to deliver results. The Operator aims to publish results as soon as reasonably possible, but delays may occur and no liability is accepted for late publication.

Judges and their close family members must not enter the classes they judge. Entries may be reassigned where a conflict of interest exists.

Publication of Entries, Results, Names and Horse Names

By entering any Online Horse Showing competition, you acknowledge and agree that submitted photographs, videos, entrant first name and surname, horse name, class information, placings and results may be publicly displayed, published, shared, reposted and archived by Online Horse Showing.

This includes, but is not limited to, publication on www.onlinehorseshowing.com, Online Horse Showing social media pages, online results pages, promotional posts, class galleries, winner announcements and related marketing or administrative materials.

By entering, you grant Online Horse Showing a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to use, reproduce, publish, display, share and store submitted entries, together with the entrant’s full name and horse’s name, for the purposes of running, promoting and recording Online Horse Showing competitions. This permission applies before, during and after the relevant competition and may continue after an entrant’s participation has ended.

Entrants are responsible for ensuring they have all necessary permissions from photographers, owners, riders, handlers, parents or guardians, and any other identifiable individuals shown in or connected with the entry. Where a person under 18 appears in an entry, parental or guardian consent must be obtained before submission.

For clarity, submitted photographs are not transferred into the public domain and copyright ownership is not transferred to Online Horse Showing. However, entries and associated names may be publicly visible once submitted and may remain visible online after the competition has ended.

10. Code of Conduct

Disrespectful behaviour or non-compliance with these Terms may result in disqualification or a permanent ban at the Operator’s discretion. Defamatory or false statements, whether online or offline, may result in immediate exclusion.

11. Child Safety and Consent

Entrants must be aged 18 or over or have parental or guardian consent. Where any individual under 18 appears in an entry, explicit parental or guardian permission must be obtained. Entries may be removed where consent cannot be verified.

12. Data Protection and Privacy

Personal data is processed in accordance with UK GDPR. Personal data may be used for show administration, entry processing, judging, results publication, prize and rosette fulfilment, customer support, legal compliance, fraud prevention, record keeping and the promotion and archiving of Online Horse Showing competitions.

This may include the publication of entrant names, horse names, photographs, videos, class details, placings and results on www.onlinehorseshowing.com, social media platforms and related Online Horse Showing materials.

Payment, order and contact information may also be used where necessary to verify entries, identify entrants, process orders, publish results, fulfil prizes or rosettes, and resolve disputes.

Where an entry includes a person under 18, the entrant confirms that appropriate parental or guardian consent has been obtained before submission.

13. Miscellaneous Provisions

All rosettes are handmade and may vary slightly. Participants must notify the Operator of any change to contact details. The Operator is not liable for delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control.

14. Links to Other Resources

The Website and Services may include links to third-party resources. Such links do not imply endorsement. Access is at the user’s own risk.

15. Prohibited Uses

Users must not misuse the Website or Services, including unlawful activity, infringement of rights, harassment, fraud, malicious code, spamming or interference with security systems. Breaches may result in termination of access.

16. Intellectual Property Rights

All intellectual property rights remain with the Operator or relevant licensors. Use of the Website does not grant any licence to reproduce or use trademarks or content.

17. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any statutory rights that cannot legally be excluded.

Subject to the above, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator’s total liability is limited to one pound (£1) or the amount paid by the user in the one-month period preceding the event giving rise to liability, whichever is greater.

18. Indemnification

Users agree to indemnify and hold the Operator harmless against claims arising from user content, misuse of Services or breach of these Terms.

19. Severability

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in force.

20. Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales. Courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

21. Changes and Amendments

The Operator may amend these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Website constitutes acceptance of revised terms.

The version of these Terms in force at the time an entry is submitted will apply to that entry unless a change is required by law or is administrative in nature.

22. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Website or entering any show, users confirm acceptance of these Terms.
