I noticed at Devon County yesterday that the Hunter Breeding Champion was co-owned by an employee of the judge. Is that allowed?

Don't think so....under Ror you're not allowed to have any aquaintance or familiarity with the judge of your class for the past year I think?
Can't remember sport horse...is not 3 years?

There you go:
'JUDGES
The onus of a horse being exhibited in a class judged by a person who has had a financial
interest in any animal or which has stood in his stable, etc. must be on the exhibitor. The practice
of any owner or their immediate family taking advice on the purchase, schooling, exhibiting or
having at livery any horse, from someone and then within three calendar years commencing 1st
January 2008 exhibiting in a class which this person is judging is prohibited by the Society (service
fees for stallions and keep for mares whilst at stud are excluded). The exhibitor will know who is
judging from the schedule, whereas the Judge will not know which animals are coming before him
until he arrives in the ring. If there is an unforeseen change of Judge then the exhibitor should
stand down from the class.
Judges must not knowingly judge a horse produced by a producer or owner for whom they
have shown any horse or who has shown any horse for them within three calendar years
commencing 1st January 2008.
The onus is on the Exhibitor not to exhibit animals under a judge who is or has been in their
employ or vice versa during the past five years.
The practice of a Judge advising on the purchase of, or exhibiting, or schooling, or having at
livery any horses for someone or their immediate family and then judging any horses for the same
owner within three calendar years commencing 1st January 2008 is prohibited by this Society
(service fees for stallions and keep for mares whilst at stud are excluded). A judge must never
judge a horse that has been in their ownership'

Does the employee have to work with horses as the person works for the judge in catering I think

I honestly wouldn't know that one....I'm guessing it would be frowned upon, though maybe not necesarily 'illegal' if the judge hasn't had anything to do with the horse or previous horses of the employee?

Would be interesting to know. There were definitely a lot of people commenting on it. I think competitors should play by the rules as it makes showing look worse than people already keep saying it is..."facey" and all that.
