Do stallions need a disc when shown ridden or in hand? Many thanks. Couldn't see it on the bspa website.

They have to be graded and licenced with the BSPA and they have to wear a disc x

This is copied from the BSPA rulebook on their website:
49. Stallions–Only BSPA Graded Stallions may compete in BSPA Affiliated Shows in either World of Colour (WCC) classes or Royal International Horse Show (RIHS). As from 1st January 2013 every competing BSPA Graded Stallion must have a Graded Stallion ID Card which must be carried into the ring and produced on request. Failure to do this will result in disqualification –Stallion Cards may be obtained from the BSPA Office free of charge. Bridle discs issued by other organisations or societies MAY NOT be worn by any dual graded BSPA Stallion when competing in BSPA Affiliated Classes. If you enter the ring with a bridle disc on your stallion you will be asked to remove it. The class will not be held up whilst this task is completed, and you will be disqualified.
As I understand it, only graded stallions can compete, stallion ID card issued on grading to be carried in the ring, stallion discs not allowed.

Sorry, I knew they have to be licenced and graded but assumed they have to wear a disc the same as with CHAPS.
Could anyone answer my question sorry to jump on the thread. Can a young not yet graded stallion compete in BSPA classes which are not World of Colour or RI qualifiers?

I never competed Raydar in any BSPA classes at all as I was under the impression that for any BSPA rules they had to be graded with them. Stupid really when he was already graded chaps. Licenced chaos, WPCS & AHS. I just refused to pay yet another grading fee.
