Non-Competing Horses
Schooling Show Policy

VADA/Nova Policy

For Non-Competing Horses
At Our Schooling Shows

The following policy will apply to any horses present on the grounds of a VADA/Nova sponsored schooling show that are not entered to compete in the show (other than regular boarders of the show facility).

This policy is being implemented for the safety of competitors, and for VADA/Nova’s insurance coverage.

Riders seeking to bring a non-competing horse to the show grounds must:

  1. Register with the show secretary in advance (does not need to be by the closing date for the show, but does need to be done before the horse arrives on the show grounds). If the show is exceptionally full or there are other considerations, such as limited trailer parking, show management has the discretion to deny a request to bring a non-competing horse to a schooling show.

  2. Submit a valid Coggins for the non-competing horse (preferably in advance of the show date, but in any event before the horse can be unloaded from the trailer).

  3. Pay a $25 non-compete fee.

  4. Sign a waiver (done at the show grounds).

  5. Wear the assigned bridle number while mounted on the show grounds.

Thank you for your compliance with this policy.
