SHW210.1 Show management is responsible for the condition of show premises, including, but not limited to, arena, exercise, and stall areas; the conduct and competence of show employees and other representatives; implementation of show activities and events; and all other aspects of the show.
SHW210.2 AQHA does not assume or accept duty or responsibility for safety at any show in regard to participants or any other third parties, or for the horses or other property thereof.
SHW210.3 As an express condition of the privilege to participate at an AQHA-approved show or event, each owner of an American Quarter Horse, exhibitor, trainer and participants assume the risks of participation, and release and discharge AQHA, its officers, directors, representatives and employees from any and all liability, whenever or however arising, as to personal injury or property damage occurring as a result of participation in an event conducted by the show or on the show grounds thereof.
SHW210.4 Without assuming the affirmative duty to monitor possible physical or mental handicaps of exhibitors, if a condition of exhibitor's physical or mental disability comes to the attention of AQHA, the individual may be denied participation privileges in AQHA-approved events until such time as he or she provides AQHA with sufficient information to conclusively establish physical or mental capability to participate, without posing a significant risk to the health or safety of the individual and/or the other exhibitors of the class in which he or she desires to participate. At AQHA's sole discretion, the individual may be authorized to use special equipment to enhance the physical ability to safely exhibit in AQHA-approved events.
