RULES AND
INFORMATION FOR ENTIRE 2010 SHOW
SEASON
1.
Riding Helmets are
required by all riders, without exception, when mounted regardless
of age. Western riders
who do not have western helmets will not be penalized for wearing
English Helmets. Grange
will have a few helmets to lend.
2.
This is a
tentative schedule. The
show committee reserves the right to alter, divide, cancel, combine
or re-locate classes to expedite the show.
3.
ALL HORSES MUST BE
PRESENTED WITH AN ORIGINAL
2010 NEGATIVE COGGINS (regardless of what your veterinarian
tells you!) TO BE PERMITTED ON GRANGE PROPERTY! State law will someday
require you to present current vaccinations on the Fair Grounds and
horses will be scanned for the required Identification Micro
Chip. We encourage all
horseman to write to your legislature and oppose this
action
4.
New laws passed in
2009 require all equines shown during a FAIR must be
accompanied by a Veterinarian Health Certificate taken within 10
days of the horse show.
(THIS ONLY PERTAINS
TO HORSE SHOWS HELD DURING A FAIR) We encourage you to write
your legislature and health department and Department of Agriculture
and fight this action.
This is beyond our control but to help horse show
participants Middletown Grange will hire a Veterinarian to be
present the morning of the Fair Horse Show to examine equines and
issue a health certificate for a small fee. Please understand we cannot
ignore this new law or we will incur heavy fines and the Fair shut
down.
5.
Entry fee $10 per
class. Fees are to be
paid before a number is issued. Additional classes to be
paid before entering the ring.
NO REFUNDS ON CLASSES ONCE PRECEDING CLASS IS BEING
JUDGED! There is a
$25 bounced check fee that will be added if a check is
returned. All open
checks must be completed at the end of the day or a $5 handling fee
will be added.
6.
Two rings to be
run simultaneously CROSS ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. CLASSES WILL BE HELD FOR 2
MINUTES ONLY!!!!
7.
Six ribbons
awarded in each class.
Champion and Reserve ribbons to be awarded in all
divisions. Same horse
and rider combination to be eligible for Champion and Reserve Awards
for that day. Point
system: 1st=8 pts., 2nd=5, 3rd=4,
4th=3, 5th=2, 6th=1. In case of a tie a hack-off,
horse trivia questions or # of blue ribbons won will determine the
winner at discretion of show committee. In November a Year-End
Awards Dinner is held to award riders who accumulate the most points
in each division. Riders must use the same
horse in each class of a division to receive a Champion or Reserve
for that day, but may change horses from one show to another for
year-end awards. Year
End Awards will be given in all divisions listed below and include
Grooming & Showmanship, Model Hunter, Model Stock, Model Draft,
