1. The Exhibit
(a) On arrival at the show, the exhibit must be checked in at the TCR office. When checked in, the exhibit will be given an exhibition number which must be displayed on the exhibit at all times on the day of the show.
(b) The exhibit must be exhibited in a suitable properly fitted show bridle and bit that are clean and in good condition. Rollers and side reins are not permitted except in a winners’ parade. All foals (whether or not they are exhibits) must wear a head collar and be led with a lead rope.
(c) The exhibit must stand, walk, and trot in a controlled manner. If the exhibit cannot be exhibited in a controlled manner, then the exhibitor (handler) may be asked to leave the grading/show ring with the exhibit.
2. The Exhibitor (Handler)
(a) The exhibitor (handler) must be 18 years of age or over and must wear suitable show clothing and footwear and also protective headgear to standard. The exhibitor can carry a show cane.
(b) It is the exhibitor’s (handler’s) responsibility to ensure that they are ready and waiting to be called. Staying informed of the day's schedule is essential.
(c) The exhibitor (handler) must follow the instructions of the judges and stewards.
3. The Owner
(a) The owner is responsible for ensuring that the exhibit is kept under control during the entire day of the show and for maintaining a safe distance from the other exhibits and attendees.

1. TCR 5-Star Grading
It is because TCR 5-Star grading is a show grading that TCR 5-Star grading includes Star 1 - Exhibitor Turnout & Handling.
Star 1 - Exhibitor Turnout & Handling
The exhibitor's turnout will be scored as well as how well the exhibit behaves and shows for the exhibitor.
Star 2 - Conditional & Presentation
The exhibit will be scored on its body condition as well as on the condition of its mane, tail and leg feather. The exhibit will also be scored on how well it is groomed and on the suitability and condition of its bridle, bit and lead rein.
Star 3 - Breed Type
The exhibit will be scored on how well it represents its Traditional Cob breed type (Traditional Irish Cob, Irish Cob, Traditional Gypsy Cob, Gypsy Cob, Mini Cob, Mini Irish Cob, Mini Gypsy Cob, Stepping Cob, or Part Bred).
Star 4 - Conformation
The exhibit will be scored on its conformation as its Traditional Cob breed type (Traditional Irish Cob, Irish Cob, Traditional Gypsy Cob, Gypsy Cob, Mini Cob, Mini Irish Cob, Mini Gypsy Cob, Stepping Cob, or Part Bred).
Star 5 - Movement
The exhibit will be scored on its movement at walk and trot. The exhibit’s trot should be normal or not over-exaggerated except for the Stepping Cob.
2. TCR Premium Grading
Although a TCR 5-Star grading is a show grading a TCR Premium Grading is breeding status grading and can only therefore be achieved if proven to have produced TCR 5-Star (show quality) graded progeny. To achieve a TCR Premium Grading, a TCR-registered stallion or mare must therefore be recorded by TCR as having produced at least two TCR-registered progeny that have been awarded a TCR 5-Star grading. Although it would be desirable if the TCR-registered stallion or mare also has a TCR 5-Star grading, is it not necessary for the TCR-registered stallion or mare to even be graded in order to achieve a TCR Premium Grading.

About The Show
The TCR Traditional Cob Autumn Show 2024 (held in September 2024) and the TCR Traditional Cob Spring Show 2025 (held in March 2025) have equipped TCR with the experience and insight needed to host the TCR Traditional Cob Autumn Show 2025 as a prestigious, live-streamed breed show, capable of rivalling any other breed show in Ireland.
Why Emerald International?
TCR plans to run the TCR Traditional Cob Autumn Show 2025 as an International event aimed at attracting foreign spectators, and Emerald International is not only a custom built international equestrian competition venue with an international competition size indoor arena with seating for over 2,000 spectators and large outdoor arenas, it is also in the ‘equestrian heart’ of Ireland (Kildare). Emerald International is therefore the most suitable venue for Traditional Cobs to be shown and promoted at their very own prestigious breed show.
The judges on the day
The judges who judged classes at the TCR Traditional Cob Spring Show 2025 (held in March 2025) will not be judging any of the classes at the TCR Traditional Cob Autumn Show 2025. For fairness and impartiality, TCR aims to change judges for all future TCR shows.
Entries
All entries for the show must be made online via the TCR website www.traditionalcobregistry.com.
The closing date for entries is one week before the day of the show.
After entering the exhibit into the show online, the owner will receive an email with the Show Schedule, which will show all exhibits entered in the show and their showing class times.
On arrival at the show, the exhibit must be checked in at the TCR office and given its exhibition number.
Grading
5-Star grading has become the modern online method for measuring quality, and TCR 5-Star grading is fast becoming known in Ireland and the UK as the method for measuring the quality of TCR-registered stallions, mares and geldings presented at TCR shows.
