Prize money checks will be made payable to the owner listed on the entry blank and will be mailed within 30 days of the conclusion of the show. NO PRIZE MONEY WILL BE MAILED UNLESS THE PAYEE'S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND COMPLETE ADDRESS IS LISTED ON THE ENTRY BLANK. Prize money won by foreign competitors: Be advised that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service requires sporting events to withhold 30% of prize money won in the United States. Foreign competitors should apply for a U.S. Social Security number and will be asked to complete form 8283 or complete a W-8 Certificate of Foreign Status form. 8. MANAGEMENT: The Horse Show Management reserves the right to itself to interpret all questions and conditions in regard to or arising out of or incident to the show without claims for damages or recourse of any kind. All questions not covered in these rules and regulations shall be decided by the Horse Show Management and their decision is final. The Horse Show Management reserves to itself the right to refuse, accept conditionally, or to cancel any entries, disqualify riders or exhibitors, prohibit claim damages; to change any course, to cancel or combine any unfilled classes, or to reschedule classes, after due notice to exhibitors; to change rings or rotate judges, and to change specifications in jumper classes 9. CONDITION OF ENTRY: Every horse entered for competition will be under the control of Horse Show Management but the Horse Show Management will, in no case, be responsible for any loss or damage that may occur, and it shall be a condition of entry that each exhibitor shall hold the Horse Show (competition) and its officials, employees, directors, officers, Blenheim EquiSports Management Company, LLC, Blenheim Facility Management, and sponsoring entities harmless for any loss or accident to his/her horse, horses, employees or equipment which may occur from sickness, fire or other cause. ASSUMPTION OF RISK: By signing the entry blank, the Owner, Lessee, Trainer, Manager, Agent, Coach, Driver, Rider, Handler, Vaulter or Longeur acknowledges that horseback riding, particularly jumping, is a dangerous activity and involves inherent risks that may cause serious injury and in some cases death because of the unpredictable nature and irrational behavior of horses, regardless of their training and past performance and expressly assumes all such inherent risks whether identified herein, in the entry blank or in the Federation Rules and Regulations. A horse, without warning or any apparent cause, can buck, stumble, fall, rear, bite, kick, run, make unpredictable movements, spook, jump obstacles, step on a person’s foot, or push a person--all of which may cause the rider or observer to fall or be jolted, resulting in serious injury or death. A horse may also become loose and cause injury to an observer or rider or to another horse – a loose horse can run at full gallop in a panic and run into objects or persons or other horses. The Show Ground Facilities are bordered by highways/roads and thus noise from traffic and other sources occurs that can and will cause a horse to unexpectedly spook or react quickly. The Show Ground Facilities contain roads and driveways that are traversed by cars, golf carts, tractors, trailers and heavy equipment all of which may spook a horse. The above warnings and risks are meant as an example of some of the risks that are inherent and may be encountered but it is agreed this is not an exhaustive list and there are numerous additional conditions and/or events that may result in injuries while participating in the Competition and/or being present on the Show Ground Facilities.

VIOLATIONS of the above will be considered cause for FINES and/or ELIMINATION. 17. CONFLICTS: It is the intention of Horse Show Management to avoid holding rings to wait for horses and/or riders.
