Important notice to Animal Owners who are involved in Showing their animals regarding Insurance.

The Irish Shows Association would advise all Animal owners who have their Animals Insured to have the Insurance cover extended to cover them while showing animals at Shows. We understand that it cost very little or nothing at all
depending on whom you have Insurance cover with.

If you are one of the few who don’t have cover we would advise that you think about putting it in place for this purpose it may be well worthwhile. The reason for us giving this advice is to protect yourself in the event of your animal lashing out and injuring someone or damaging someone’s property, if that were to happen and it is established that your animal was out of your control you may be held responsible, or partly responsible for any injury or damage caused and end up paying all or part of any settlement reached

All Numbers must be attached to animals before Judging; if not No Prize Money will be awarded.
