HELP OUT AND GET REWARDED!! 2011 Christmas Show Donation Form In an effort to increase prize money at the GCAHC 2011 Christmas Show and to help a fantastic organization called SIRE, we are asking you for a donation. Let me first tell you about SIRE. The mission of SIRE is to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities through therapeutic horseback riding and related activities. SIRE strengthens bodies, encourages learning and nourishes the spirits of over 160 riders every week in the greater Houston area. SIRE has been bringing freedom from disabilities using the spirit and movement of the horse for over 28 years and is a 501c(3) charity. To learn more about SIRE, visit their website www.sire-htec.org, once there view some of their videos and we feel certain the stories will tug at your heart. It’s a known fact that the number of riders/horses exhibiting at our Arabian/Half-Arabian horse shows has declined from years past. GCAHC feels that with additional prize money we can generate more excitement throughout the Arabian breed, increase the number of horses at our shows, and provide an incentive for our Amateur Arabian enthusiasts by rewarding their efforts with a better prize money payout. The Christmas Show Prize Money will be applied to Amateur Championship classes on Saturday night and Sunday. Check out the rewards you will receive if you make a Platinum Donation, Gold Donation, Silver Donation or Bronze Donation. The amount donated to SIRE will be tax deductible so not only are you helping others; you are helping yourself! Platinum Donation $2,000.00 * $1000 tax deductible donation to SIRE $1000 donated to the Christmas Show Prize Money Fund Banner with donation name hung in the main show arena Division sponsorship of your choice One (1) free class ($15 value) per horse Gold Donation $1,000.00 * $500 tax deductible donation to SIRE $500 donated to Christmas Show Prize Money Fund Banner with donation name hung in the main show arena 2 Championship class sponsorships of your choice Silver -

Have you ever dreamed about

winning money to pay your horse show expenses? Want to make your dreams come true? Come to the Christmas Show! Our Prize Money/SIRE Donation Program has a guaranteed $10,000 in prize money, with each Amateur Championship awarding a minimum of $850 in prize money—but it could be even more! Last year, we paid MORE than the minimum... CHAMPIONS in JTR, ATR, & AATR classes WON $466! And, a total of $13,575 in prize money was paid out. Woo-hoo, and thank you! The great thing about our prize money program is that YOU can actually help to increase the amount awarded at the show! Instead of offering the usual patron packages, we decided to “MAKE SOME NOISE” with this prize money program. Check out the donation form on the opposite page, and you will see benefits very similar to being a patron or sponsor. The more you give, the more benefits you get! The added bonus to this awesome program is that half of the money you donate will be TAX DEDUCTIBLE and given to a fantastic therapeutic riding program here in Texas called SIRE. Last year, a total of $3,375 was raised through the Christmas Show. SIRE is a wonderful organization that helps children and adults with mental and physical rehabilitation through riding horses and horse-related activities. SIRE needs our help to continue their amazing programs that run year round. For more information about SIRE, please visit www.sire-htec.org. After hearing what Gulf Coast Arabian Horse Club is doing, why wouldn’t you be a part of this exciting prize money program? Imagine the possibilities... tons of amateur prize money at the Christmas Show and the satisfaction that you gave a tax-deductible donation to an awesome therapeutic riding program. Go to www.gulfcoastarabians.com and fill out your prize money donation form today! GCAHC is guaranteeing a minimum of $10,200 and any money that you and others donate for this program will be divided between the AATR, ATR and JTR championships. For example, if an additional $2400 is received, each of the amateur championships will pay an additional $200, making the total for each class $1050. The following Amateur Championships will offer a minimum of $850 prize money in each class. Because this campaign is still in progress, we do not know the actual total that will be offered for each class. The final amount will be posted at the Show. Purebred and HA/AA Western Pleasure AATR & JTR Championships Purebred and HA/AA Hunter Pleasure AATR & JTR Championships Purebred and HA/AA Country English Pleasure ATR Championships Purebred and HA/AA English Pleasure ATR Championships In addition, $500 prize money is offered for the Arabian Reining AAOTR class by Zama Ranch.

AHA ENTRY AGREEMENT I have read the rules concerning competitions as printed in the Arabian Horse Association® (AHA®) Handbook and Directory and agree to be bound by and subject to those Rules. AHA ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION This document waives very important legal rights. Read it carefully before signing. In consideration for AHA permitting me to participate in this Competition, and by signing the entry blank, I agree as follows: I AGREE that I choose to participate voluntarily in this Competition, as a rider, driver, handler, lessee, owner, agent, coach, trainer, junior exhibitor, or as a parent or guardian of a junior exhibitor. I AM FULLY AWARE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HORSE SPORTS AND PARTICIPATION IN THIS COMPETITION INVOLVE SERIOUS RISK OF HARM INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, RISKS OF ACCIDENT, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH, BROKEN BONES, HEAD INJURIES, TRAUMA, PAIN, AND SUFFERING, AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. I ASSUME ALL RISKS OF HARM TO ME, MY HORSE OR MY PROPERTY. I AGREE for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns to release AHA, the Competition, the facilities leased by the Competition and the owner(s) of the facilities, and all of their respective officers, officials, directors, employees, agents, personnel, volunteers, affiliated organizations and insurers (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims for damage, loss, or injury to myself, other persons, horses or other property belonging to me to the fullest extent permitted by law that arises out of or relates in any way to the Competition and my participation in Competition INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES, LOSS, OR INJURY RESULTING FROM ANY ACTS, FAILURE TO ACT, NEGLIGENCE OR NEGLECT OF OTHER ENTRANTS, THE RELEASED PARTIES, THEIR CONTRACTORS OR INVITEES, as well as for theft, vandalism, fire, other casualty damage, or damage arising out of any defects in the premises. I AGREE to indemnify and hold harmless (that is pay all losses, damages, attorney fees and costs of) the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, penalties, actions, losses, costs, damages, injuries, liabilities and obligations (including attorney fees) of whatsoever kind and nature, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of (1) my participation in the Competition or (2) any act, failure to act, or neglect (a) by me, my agents, employees, riders, handlers, trainers, coaches, drivers, contractors or invitees, or (b) by any animal owned or exhibited by me or in my custody or control. I AGREE and represent that I am qualified and eligible to enter and/or participate in the Competition, and every horse I am entering is qualified and eligible as entered. I AGREE to accept AS FINAL any decision of AHA, the Show Commission or Show Officials concerning my qualification or the qualification of my horse to enter the Competition or any results of the Competition, except to the extent that the Rules of AHA, the Competition, Equine Canada or U.S. Equestrian Federation permit a protest or hearing of such decisions. Should a hearing be requested, I agree to accept AS FINAL the decision of the particular hearing body. I agree to release, hold harmless and not to sue AHA, the Competition Sponsor, their officers, directors, employees, volunteers or members concerning any decision of AHA, the Competition, its Show Commission, Show Officials or any hearing body that relates to my qualifications or my horse(s)’ qualifications to enter the Competition or any results of the Competition. I AGREE that AHA has the sole right to control, sell, supervise or give away (or assign to others the right to do so) the exclusive rights to broadcast, televise, reproduce, transmit and disseminate all or part of this event, and I agree that AHA may use or assign, in any way AHA sees fit, photographs, films, videos, audios, cablecasts, or other likenesses of me and my horse taken during the course of the Competition for the promotion, coverage or benefit of the Competition or AHA. Those likenesses shall not be used to advertise a product and they may not be used in such a way which implies endorsement of any company, product, product category or service. I hereby expressly and irrevocably waive and release any rights in connection with such use, including any claims to compensation, invasion of privacy, right of publicity, or to misappropriation. By signing below as a parent or guardian of a junior exhibitor, I consent to the child’s participation and agree to all of the above provisions, and further agree to assume all of the obligations of this AHA Assumption of Risk, Release and Indemnification personally and on behalf of the child. This AHA Assumption of Risk, Release and Indemnification is governed by the Laws of the State of Colorado and is intended to be interpreted as broadly as possible. I agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue (place) for any legal action against AHA, its officers, directors, employees, volunteers or agents shall be in the local district courts or the federal court of the State of Colorado. If any part of this agreement is determined to be unenforceable, all other parts shall remain in effect. WARNING – Under Texas Law (Chapter 87, Civil Practice and Remedies Code), an equine professional is not liable for an injury to or the death of a participant in equine activities resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities. Federation Entry Agreement I have read the United States Equestrian Federation, Inc. (the “Federation”) Entry Agreement (GR906.4) as printed in the Prize List for Christmas Show (“Competition”) and agree to all of its provisions. I understand and agree that by entering this Competition, I am subject to Federation Rules, Prize List, and local rules of the competition. I agree to waive the right to the use of my photos from the competition, and agree that any actions against the Federation must be brought in New York State. Federation Release, Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Indemnification This document waives important legal rights. Read it carefully before signing. I AGREE in consideration for my participation in this Competition to the following: I AGREE that “the Federation” and “Competition” as used herein includes the licensee and Competition Management, as well as all of their officials, officers, directors, employees, agents, personnel, volunteers and Federation affiliates. I AGREE that I choose to participate voluntarily in the Competition with my horse, as a rider, driver, handler, vaulter, longeur, lessee, owner, agent, coach, trainer, or as parent or guardian of a junior exhibitor. I am fully aware and acknowledge that horse sports and the Competition involve inherent dangerous risks of accident, loss, and serious bodily injury including broken bones, head injuries, trauma, pain, suffering, or death (“Harm”). I AGREE to hold harmless and release the Federation and the Competition from all claims for money damages or otherwise for any Harm to me or my horse and for any Harm of any nature caused by me or my horse to others, even if the Harm arrises or results, directly or indirectly, from the negligence of the Federation or the Competition. I AGREE to expressly assume all risks of Harm to me or my horse, including Harm resulting from the negligence of the Federation or the Competition. I AGREE to indemnify (that is, to pay any losses, damages, or costs incurred by) the Federation and the Competition and to hold them harmless with respect to claims for Harm to me or my horse, and for claims made by others for any Harm caused by me or my horse while at the Competition. I have read the Federation Rules about protective equipment, including GR801 and, if applicable EV114, and I understand that I am entitled to wear protective equipment without penalty, and I acknowledge that the Federation strongly encourages me to do so while WARNING that no protective equipment can guard against all injuries. If I am a parent or guardian of a junior exhibitor, I consent to the child’s participation and AGREE to all of the above provisions and AGREE to assume all of the obligations of this Release on the child’s behalf. I represent that I have the requisite training, coaching and abilities to safely compete in this competition. I AGREE that if I am injured at this competition, the medical personnel treating my injuries may provide information on my injury and treatment to the Federation on the official USEF accident/injury report form.
