NOTICE FOR HORSE SHOW PARTICIPANTS:
1. All horses/ponies must have a Negative Coggins within the last 36 months and proof of liability insurance. Certificates

be allowed to remain on the grounds. All out-of-state horses must have been tested within the last 6 months.
2. All participants are asked to check in at the office upon arrival, so that horse trailers and campers may be set up in
designated spots, and that you can be shown to your assigned stall/s and receive your camper or tent permit that is
required by Fair Officials.
3. At the discretion of the Judge and Show Committee, no class will be held with less than two entries.
4. Entry fees are $5.00 for all youth, equitation and showmanship classes, $5.00 for all open and adult classes, $10.00
for Youth Championship classes and $10 for stake classes.

Entries or they will not be accepted. A $25.00 fee will be charged for all checks returned for non-sufficient funds.

8. Entries will only be refunded upon receipt of a signed vet certificate. No exceptions.
9. If exhibitor wishes to use their own number for showing, it must be on the entry blank in proper place. If the number is

12. No intoxicants will be displayed or consumed on the show grounds.
13. NMFA bears no responsibility or liability for accidents or injury on these grounds for the duration of the show. It has
become necessary for exhibitors to have liability insurance on the horses/ponies. Many homeowners policies cover
this, but some require special clauses to be added. Check with your insurance company to be sure you are covered.
You will be asked for proof of insurance when you register.
14. Horse trailers will be parked in areas designated by the show officials. They shall not be parked in the camper area.

allowed to enter and there will be no refunds for that or for missed classes.
17. Holds will only be permitted/recognized if the horse and/or exhibitor were entered in the previous class.
18. Novice classes are designed for novice riders, riders not having won a first or second place in another class of the
same type the day of the show or not having won more than 6 blue ribbons in their career or that of the horse.
Equitation is based on the record of the rider, and pleasure on the record of the horse in performance division classes.
If you have any questions, see the Show Superintendent.
19. If the Show cancels a class for any reason, entries prepaid will be refunded or credited toward another class. If rider
scratches a class there will be no refunds.

21. All riders must provide a social security number in order to receive any premiums. There is a place on your entry sheet
for this information.
22. All decisions by the judge are final. Other issues will be at the discretion of the show committee and according to the
AHSA rules.
23. Show Committee asks that horses not congregate at the out gate, stands or in front of the office. This is for the safety
of exhibitors and spectators. It is everyone’s responsibility to maintain the safety rules.
24. Show Committee asks that there be no rough housing or running on horses outside the ring. Anyone exhibiting
reckless, dangerous, or inappropriate behavior will be asked to leave the fair grounds.
25. The mistreatment of any animal will not be tolerated and will be reported to the proper authorities.
26. All riders under 18 years of age will be required to wear protective headgear.
27. Attn: Appaloosa and Paint Horses, for those of you that would like to have the results at the end of the show to go
towards your end of the year awards, please come see the secretary at the end of the show.
**** Horse Health is one of our top priorities! Due to the recent increase in respiratory illnesses in horses across the state, and after discussion with the State Veterinarian’s office, the NMFA makes the following recommendations for Horse Show Participants at this year’s show:
Horses coming from the same barns should be housed in same barns at the fair. Please let the show officials know what horses are from your barn, and be patient with them as they assign stalls accordingly. You may have different stalls than you are used to.
Please wash/sanitize your hands after handling horses. Extra Sanitizing stations will be available this year.
Do not share water hoses for filling buckets or share water buckets between horses.
Monitor your horse’s temperature each morning and night. Horses with temperatures will be moved away from other horses. (horses will have a fever up to 48 hours before they become infectious to others).
