I know there are lots of threads about PP/Amateur flying around at the moment, but wondered if you could clear something up. Was always under the impression that under P(UK) rules for the amateur classes the ponies couldn't have been ridden by producer at a show, nor helped by the producer at said show. Is this not the case? Forgive me if I am wrong.

From PUK rule book
AMATEUR RIDER – An Amateur Rider is a rider who for showing purposes HAS NOT engaged in the training programme for Rider/horses/ponies/livery/buying/selling or dealing of horses/ponies as a means of deriving a source of income since 1st August 2016. It is expected that exhibitors will enter into the true spirit of this competition. The Directors reserve the right in, their absolute discretion, to refuse an exhibitor’s entry should they be in contravention of this rule in the Directors considered opinion. Animals and riders must not receive any assistance from professional trainers or producers on the day of the competition. (This includes preparation and training of the animal and the rider for the competition at the show). Exhibitors are encouraged to participate in training programmes but riders who have received individual training may not exhibit under that person

I agree it can be confusing - but I think this means that a pony/horse can be in a producers yard and ridden by a producer BUT NOT on the day of the show. These are like BSHA and Equifest Amateur rules so on the day the Amateur rider is competing they must not have assistance from a producer, I guess that would also mean the producer would not be able to travel the animal to show?
