Required Information

Hold Harmless Clause

Understanding that horse sports may be hazardous and dangerous, even leading to permanent injury or death, each

owner, rider, spectator, and other participant assumes any and all risk of loss or injury and agrees to hold harmless,

regardless, the horse show personnel and the facility (VHC) hosting the show. ERAHC will not be responsible for any

damage, injury, or loss to persons, horses, or property of exhibitors, spectators, or grooms. All local facility rules must

be followed.

Minors who do not have a valid driver’s license which allows them to operate a motorized vehicle in the state in which

they reside will not be permitted to operate a motorized vehicle of any kind including, but not limited to, golf carts,

motorcycles, scooters, or farm utility vehicles on the competition grounds of licensed competitions. Minors who have a

valid temporary license may operate the above described motorized vehicles as long as they are accompanied by an

adult with a valid driver’s license. The parent(s), legal guardian(s), or individual who signs the entry blank as a parent or

guardian of a minor operating a motorized vehicle in violation of this rule are solely responsible for any damages,

claims, losses or actions resulting from that operation. Violations of this rule will be cause for sanctions against the

5-25-2021 11

exclusion of the child, parent(s), guardian(s), and/or trainer(s) from the competition grounds for the remainder of the

other mobility assistance devices for individuals with disabilities are exempt from this rule. (If your competition bans

motorized vehicles, please contact our office for further instruction.)

Media Release Agreement

I agree that as a condition of and in consideration of acceptance of entry, the competition may use or assign

photographs, videos, audios, or other likenesses of me and/or my horse taken during the course of the competition for

the promotion or benefit of the competition or sport. These likenesses shall not be used to advertise a product and they

may not be used in any way to jeopardize amateur status. I hereby expressly waive and release any rights in connection

with such use, including any claim to compensation, invasion of privacy, right of publicity, or misappropriation.

Use of Protective Headgear

Except as may otherwise be mandated by local law, ERAHC strongly encourages all riders, while riding anywhere on

the competition grounds, to wear protective headgear with harness secured which passes or surpasses ASTM (American

Society for Testing and Materials)/SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) standards for equestrian use and carries the SEI tag.

(Exception hunter, jumper, or hunter/jumper competitions refer to GR-801.2) It is the responsibility of the rider, or the

parent or guardian or trainer of the junior exhibitor to see to it that the headgear worn complies with appropriate safety

standards for protective headgear intended for equestrian use, and is properly fitted and in good condition. ERAHC

Show Committee, Show Staff, or Licensed Officials are not responsible for checking headgear worn for such

compliance.
