leads and shall be constantly attended by competent attendants.
Every exhibitor will be solely responsible for any loss, injury, or damage
done to or occasioned by or arising from any horse exhibited by him/her.
All exhibitors shall indemnify the Idaho Horse Park and its sponsors and
hold them harmless from any loss, cost, or expense caused by his/her exhibit.
INSURANCE & LIABILITIES
By entering the Northwest Classic Draft and Mule Show, the exhibitor assumes
all risk of loss, injury or damage of every kind or nature, however caused,
including the negligence of the Idaho Horse Park or any of its employees,
agents, volunteers, officers, directors, sponsors or otherwise, to property
and any kind or nature, belonging to or brought upon the premises by exhibitor,
or personal injury to the exhibitor or any of his employees, and agrees
to save and keep harmless the Northwest Classic Draft and Mule Show committee,
the Idaho Horse Park, and any others acting on their behalf from any and
all claims or suits growing out of any such loss, injuries, or damage.
The exhibitors is urged to keep attendants at their exhibits at all times
and carry insurance for their protection against any losses which may
be incurred and to protect themselves from risks assumed under this clause.
SOUNDNESS
Horses must be serviceably sound. Horses having ailments which are inheritable
or of strong predisposing tendency such as spavins, curbs, and ophthalmia,
will be regarded as unsound. Puffs, splints and ossifications due to accident
will not be regarded as unsoundness unless the judge regards them to be
so large as to be unsightly or to be of such character as to affect the
usefulness of the animal. The judge's decision in respect to unsoundness
of a horse or mule under consideration for award shall be final.
INTERFERENCE WITH JUDGES
The judge shall report to the Show Management any exhibitor who, in any
way, whether in person or by agents of employees, interferes with him
during his adjudication or manifests any disrespect to him or her, whereupon
a proper apology from such exhibitor shall be demanded. Any exhibitor
who refuses to comply with this rule may be excluded from further competition
and the management may withhold from such exhibitor any premiums that
may have been awarded to him.
PROTESTS
All persons making entries agree to accept, and abide by the judges' decision.
Protests on any grounds must be made in writing on the same day in which
the protested action was taken, and given to the Show Management. ALL
PROTESTS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A DEPOSIT OF $200. THE DEPOSIT WILL BE
FORFEITED IF THE PROTEST IS NOT SUSTAINED.
UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT
Unsportsmanlike conduct by any exhibitor, trainer, or owner will not be
tolerated and any violator will be excused from the arena. Inhumane treatment
of the animal in the show arena, warm-up area, stall, runway, or anywhere
on the grounds of the Idaho Horse Park/Idaho Center, or cruelty to or
abuse of an animal by any person, is forbidden and renders the offender
subject to penalty. Reported abuses will be reviewed by the Show Committee
consisting of Wade Thornley, Von White, Wayne Wareing, Gary Heath, Sally
Tondu and Rod Orrison. By a majority vote the Show Committee may bar violators
from further participation for the remainder of the Show.
