Scheduling of rides will be done a block style and may be out of order of the rest of the class you entered.

COVID-19 STATEMENT: Managing your risk of exposure to the Coronavirus is essential to maintaining good health. At this time, it is appropriate to be cognizant of proper hygiene and incorporating common sense actions into your everyday activities in order to prevent the spread of this virus. Practices such as regularly washing your hands with soap and water or an alcohol based hand sanitizer; practicing good sneeze and cough hygiene; avoiding touching your mouth, nose and eyes with unwashed hands; avoiding close contact

with people who are sick; and disinfecting and cleaning often touched objects and surfaces can help reduce your risk of exposure. We will have several sanitation stations on the grounds.

Any person who has a temperature of 100.4 (F) or higher, has symptoms of COVID-19 or has tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 10 days cannot enter the competition grounds. Anyone who has been in contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 7-10 days cannot enter the competition grounds, except for healthcare personnel who have treated patients using appropriate medical-grade PPE during the course of performing professional duties.

VACCINATION NOTICE: Exhibitors are reminded of USEF’s new vaccination policy, effective 12/1/15; see GR844 for details.

Non-compliant entries may be quarantined or denied permission to unload, and will not be allowed to compete nor to mingle with other horses. No refunds will be given if right to compete is denied because the vaccination documentation is missing or incomplete.

MANAGEMENT RIGHTS: Show management reserves the right to make any changes deemed necessary for the safe and efficient conduct of this competition. Show management reserves the right to interpret all questions and conditions in regard to or arising out of any incident in the show without claims for damages or recourse of any kind. All questions not covered in these rules and regulations shall be decided by Show Management and their decision shall be final. Show management reserves the right to vary or add officials and refuse any entry for a cause; to disqualify any exhibitor and/or his or her horse for cause; to cause an exhibitor to forfeit his or her ribbons and winnings for cause; to return any entry and/or stall fee before or during the show for cause; all without being liable for damage or compensation. Management reserves the right to cancel any classes due to hazardous weather, Acts of God, accident, or emergency. Every effort will be made to reschedule with priority given to any Championship or qualifying classes being offered. No refunds for cancellations due to hazardous weather, Acts of God, accidents, or emergencies.

EXHIBITOR/COMPETITOR RESPONSIBILITY: It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of test scores. Any scoring errors must be reported to the Show Secretary and/or assistant within one hour of the last ridden test for that class. Failure to report any errors within allowed time will mean the error will not be corrected and there will be no change in class placing. It is the rider/owner/member responsibility to make sure of their membership status is correct. Randle Equestrian LLC is not responsible for refunding membership fees that have been submitted to USEF or USDF. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to indicate to the Show Management if they are NOT eligible to compete under the judge listed on the show ride time schedule. If the judge has been added/changed, Show Management will make every effort to make adjustments to schedules as long as we are notified 72 hours BEFORE the first show ride. Exhibitors are responsible for presenting themselves to the ring at their designated time and accept the full responsibility for doing so regardless of announcements or ring stewards. No protest will be upheld, nor ride time changed due to failure of the exhibitor to meeting their responsibilities.

CLASSES PER DAY: Horses are limited to a maximum of three Dressage rides per day at Fourth Level and below or two Dressage rides per day above Fourth Level. Horses competing at both Fourth Level and Prix St. Georges, or their equivalents, are limited to two Dressage rides per day.
