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. 11. STABLING: Stalls, regardless if taken up by horse, feed, and/or tack, measure approximately 10' x 10', including doors, and are available to rent for $275/stall/show if paid in full by the published competition closing date – First Bedding is not provided.

The rider/trainer/coach/person setting the jumps is responsible to ensure that all components of the jump are available and if such parts are not readily available, they agree to notify the paddock steward and/or schooling supervisor. The rider/trainer/coach/person setting the jumps is also responsible to ensure the jump is set correctly in compliance with USEF rules and assumes the risk for improperly
setting the jump. In accordance with California state law, poling and/or the use of offsets WILL NOT be permitted.

Trainer conflicts are not considered legitimate conflicts. 18. MANURE: Manure must be placed in designated areas, kept separate from trash. Each violation will result in a $100 fine. 19.
