EXHIBITOR PACKETS: Will NOT be released until all entries are complete.

AMATEUR STATUS: Every Rider, Driver or Handler must be USEF Amateur Certified or must apply for same to participate in this show. Juniors 17 & Under are considered Amateur. Applications for USEF Amateur cards may be obtained online at usef.org or at the show office. Applicants may either apply for full USEF Amateur membership ($55.00) or Non-Member Amateur Certification ($30.00). Applications must be made prior to showing. This show has changed to a USEF "Local" rating. Owners and Trainers do not need to be members of USEF, and non-member fees are not charged.

HANDLER, RIDER AND/OR DRIVER SUBSTITUTION: If it is necessary to change riders or handlers after the close of entries, a replacement may be made. If the replacement is not a currently Certified Amateur, application must be made at the Show at least ONE HOUR prior to the class. Horses shall be handled and shown throughout the entire class by only one and the same person. With the exception that a substitute rider, driver or handler may be used if during the class the original rider, driver or handler becomes ill or injured. NO PERSON CAN SHOW IN MORE THAN ONE SECTION OF THE SAME CLASS. AGE OF RIDER: The age of a rider shall be determined as of December 1 of each year and shall be maintained until December 1 of the following year.

ATTIRE: It is the tradition of the show ring that riders, drivers and handlers be correctly attired for each class and that attendants be neatly dressed and the horses properly presented. The management may, at its discretion, bar any entry or person from entering the ring if not suitably presented to appear before an audience.

ADMISSION TO ARENA: No person will be permitted to enter the arena except participants in the class, officials and their assistants and the show photographer. Attendants will not be permitted in the arena until summoned by the Judges.

CALL FOR CLASSES: Classes will be called promptly. There will be three calls for classes. Two minutes will be allowed after the first horse enters the ring. In case of equipment change, an additional three minutes may be allowed: provided the gate is notified at least one class in advance. Due to possible unforeseen problems with any mechanical device, the PA system and class calls over that system are considered a courtesy.

MISSED CALLS FOR CLASSES: It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to have his/her horse at the gate at the prescribed time. While every effort is made to maintain a working PA system, NO protest will be upheld, nor any section changed on the basis of PA failure.

POST ENTRIES: Accepted after closing date of August 15th until September 15th at the rate of $500.00 per class. No entries accepted after September 15, 2011.

NUMBER OF ENTRIES IN CLASSES: All classes will be judged regardless of the number of entries.

SPLITTING OF CLASSES: According to Minnesota Arabian Horse Breeder Futurity Rules, each section of a futurity class is considered part of the same class. Show management will determine number of horses in any section of any class. The colts and fillies will be shown in separate halter classes. The only random draw for sections will be with performance horses. No handler/rider may show more than one entry per class. Order of go according to age, oldest to youngest. Exhibitors will be required to check in with the Assistant Paddock Master prior to the start of the class to verify their position.

PROTESTS: A protest must be filed as set forth in USEF GR603.

NO SHOWS: To expedite the flow of classes it would be appreciated if last-minute scratches were reported to the show office as quickly as possible.

STALLIONS: Colts/Stallions may be shown by ladies or 17 and under exhibitors.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS: Every horse entered in this show will be assigned identification numbers. It is important for the proper handling of the show that the correct number be worn by rider/driver/handlers. Numbers will be marked clearly on the back with the horses name and class in which the horse is entered.

WHIPS: One whip or cropper handler allowed, however, whips are not mandatory and handlers are allowed to use items such as grass, hat and/or treats to maintain horse’s attention in halter classes. Whips are to be no longer than 6’ (six feet) including the snapper/lash/appendage. Small appendages (no more than 12 inches in length) of ribbon, plastic, etc. are permitted. Excessive or improper use of a whip shall be basis for disqualification.

DISCIPLINE/ABUSE: If it is ascertained that any exhibitor has made or caused to be made any false statement in regard to any animal or article exhibited, or if any exhibitor shall attempt to interfere with any of the judges in the performance of his or her duties, said exhibitor shall be excluded from competing or exhibiting.

JUDGES MUST EXCUSE FROM THE RING: Any horse shown that possesses a whip mark (welt) on any portion of the horse. A whip mark or welt is an inflammation of skin and abrasion or laceration. The cardinal signs of inflammation include heat, pain, (sensitivity to palpation) and swelling. The Judges' finding of fact with respect to the presence or absence of a whip mark (welt) evident during a class shall be final, and no appeal may be taken thereon. The Judge shall make written findings of fact, which shall be delivered to the USEF steward with respect to any horse excused under this rule. Additional cause for mandatory elimination from the arena are a.) removal of eyelashes, b.) changing natural color of the mane/tail, c.) balding the area around the eyes or proximal to the muzzle and nostrils.

At the end of a show, Show Management shall forward to the Association a sum representing the number of horses entered in the show, such to be held by the Association in a separate fund for use in accomplishing the purpose set forth above.”

IRS INFORMATION: Please note that the IRS requires us to have appropriate tax ID or Social Security numbers before we can issue any winnings check.

Excessive use of the whip or actions that may disturb other entries shall be severely penalized.

PERFORMANCE CLASSES: All horses shall be worked at all gaits both ways of the ring and otherwise as described by class specifications, and at Judge’s discretion, horses shall change from any gait to any other gait. All horses chosen for a work-off must be worked both ways of the ring at any gait listed in class specifications as requested by the Judge. Horses must come to the “line up” at gait requested.

MAHB JUDGING PROCEDURE FOR YEARLING HALTER CLASSES: Judging of the yearling classes at the 2011 Fall Festival will be conducted in a preliminary round and then a final, both in the Coliseum.

Scores will not be announced until Top Ten (Medallion) and Top Five (Auction) have been determined. The Top Ten and Top Five will advance to their respective Finals.

For the Finals, horses shall enter the ring at a trot and be lined up by the Ringmaster. The horses will be stood up by their Handlers and then be comparatively judged. The Judges will mark their cards 1st through 10th. A first place is worth 10 points, a second place is worth 9 points, etc. The horse with the most points will be awarded Champion, the horse with the second most points will be awarded Reserve Champion, etc. In the case of a tie, the horse that was scored higher in the preliminary round will win.
