I know of someone who advertises them self as a producer, takes horses for show production and is well known. Entering a riding club championship show that is strictly no producers. Am I being a little snitch if I say something? Am I just being mean? How do I do so anonymously?

The rules are clear. If you have evidence of rule breaking, send it to the show organisers, then people who are genuine competitors won't be competing against cheats.

Is this for STARS Southern Show? Speak to the organiser, they shouldn't be allowed to enter.

Yes it is for STARS southern. My issue is I don’t trust my name not to get ‘leaked’ and unfortunately I can’t be dealing (mentally) with any fall out! Urgh how can I do this 😭 I’m so annoyed on behalf of genuine competitors

Create an anonymous email account and send it from there, they may not take the complaint without a name but to their credit they seem to take this sort of thing seriously.

I don't know anything about this organisation, but cannot think of a Society/Association which would accept a complaint only submitted anonymously, whether it be by e-mail, post or any other medium. If your complaint is genuine (which, viewing it totally as an outsider, it appears to be) then the relevant organisers/office staff should be able to honour your desire to remain anonymous, yet accept the information and research the issue. Chinese whispers don't cut it though, in order to act, any organisation would need hard facts - ie: evidence of the 'professional' advertising / evidence of entry to the forthcoming or past event etc. Hope this helps!

Surely any form of notification should at least arouse suspicion and prompt them to look into it regardless of the outcome

I’m glad to see this has been followed through and the person in question disqualified.

Sadly this person won their class so maybe the complaint didn’t get to them in time 🙁

They won 3 classes but were stripped of all 3 and the rightful winners were given their awards and their lap of honour under the spotlight. There's a post on Stars Facebook page.

Well done OP! It takes quite a lot of balls to stick your neck on the line in this way. Stars dealt with these cheats thank goodness. It was not even a mistake as when they were questioned they lied continuously until faced with compelling evidence!
