direction of the management of the National Western Stock Show, Rodeo & Horse Show (NWSS),

to any extent whatsoever, does thereby consent, for all purposes, that venue and jurisdiction shall

other loss, injury or damage done to, occasioned by, or arising from any horse or article owned
or exhibited by him, and shall indemnify the National Western Stock Show, Rodeo & Horse Show
against all legal or other proceedings, claims, or demands of any kind or nature, in regard thereto,
or that may arise from the negligence of the person in charge of any such horse or article.
A. CONDUCT: Exhibitors are warned that any act of discourtesy or disobedience to the

will disqualify such horse for adjudication and the exhibitor shall forfeit all fees and earnings.

or, letting blood from a horse. Poling WILL NOT be permitted at this show. See US Equestrian

these General Rules and Regulations, NWSS deems it appropriate and prudent to be excused
from liability, as set forth below in this paragraph, in the event of early cancellation of its
events, operations and activities by reason of force majeure and/or governmental regulation.
Accordingly, the following shall apply to the operations and activities conducted by NWSS:
WARNING: Under Colorado Law, 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, pursuant to section 13-21-119 Colorado revised statutes.
NWSS shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its operations, activities, shows
and events to the extent such delay or failure results from a force majeure occurrence. A force
majeure occurrence is defined as any occurrence arising from causes beyond the reasonable
control of NWSS which delays or prevents performance by NWSS otherwise required by
this Agreement, including but not limited to any (i) breakage or accident to equipment,
machinery or facilities; (ii) any strikes, lock-outs or other labor difficulties; (iii) statutes,
ordinances, regulations, orders, or rules issued by governmental authorities; (iv) judicial
decrees or orders; (v) acts of God; (vi) animal diseases and/or quarantines; (vii) wars, riots or
insurrections; (viii) civil disobediences, public demonstrations or sabotage; (ix) fires, floods,
explosions or inclement weather; (x) inability to obtain necessary labor, materials, supplies,
utilities or transportation; (xi) depressions, recessions or other economic downturns; (xii)
embargoes or energy shortages; or (xiii) other causes beyond NWSS’s reasonable control.
NWSS shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its operations, activities, shows
and events to the extent such delay or failure results from NWSS’s good faith compliance with
applicable governmental statues, ordinances, regulations, orders, rules or other directives,
including but not limited to compliance with governmental directives concerning public
health and safety, animal disease prevention detection and response, including animal
quarantine and/or destruction; and protection of the environment.

Management may, at its discretion, bar an entry or person from entering the ring if not suitably
presented to appear before an audience.
20. CLASSES: Classes will be called according to the published schedule. All horses must be
ready and waiting to enter the arena promptly. Horses will not be allowed to enter the arena after

22. SIGNAGE
A. Breed Association Shows and Sales are held within the confines of the NWSS grounds.
NWSS, therefore, reserves all rights to any advertising, signage, announcements, etc., made
on behalf of sponsors and supporters of the show. Accordingly, NWSS will not permit any
sponsor advertising, signage, announcements, etc., other than those rights contracted
directly with the NWSS. Breed Associations, members and exhibitors are, therefore,
prohibited from providing exposure during their respective events held here at the NWSS for
sponsors they have obtained without written permission from the NWSS.
B. Signs on stalls cannot advertise commercial ventures or products. Stall signs must
advertise farms, ranches, and stable only. Stable name signs with Incorporated commercial
products must have prior approval from the Horse Show Manager. The Management reserves
the right to remove signs in violation with the above rule.
C. The Western Stock Show Association places great value upon the NW logo and all
variations of the National Western name. Therefore, as of the 1993 show, the Association
implemented a licensing program to control the use of the NW logo and all National Western
names and ensure the compliance with specific quality standards for all merchandise.
In accordance with this policy, the Association reserves the right to pursue appropriate
legal action to stop the distribution and sale of merchandise that is not covered by a
license. As part of this annual licensing program, the Association must approve the quality
of merchandise that bears its name and trademarks and determine royalties due to the
Association upon the granting of such license. We have selected vendors of certain types of
merchandise and have exclusive license agreements with those vendors for all on-grounds
sales of such National Western logo merchandise. Therefore, all other on-ground vendors are
prohibited from selling or distributing any and all National Western logo merchandise.
The NWSS looks forward to your cooperation with the Association in helping to protect its
valuable trademarks and maintaining the high quality of merchandise that bear them.
23. FOOD & ALCOHOL: In accordance with the Colorado State Liquor Code, and City of Denver
Law, the National Western Stock Show, Rodeo & Horse Show prohibits the disbursement, sales, or
bringing of any non-permitted alcohol on grounds by a third party. Food and alcoholic beverages
can be obtained from our in-house concessionaire, KM Concessions, located at various locations
throughout the show grounds.

24. VIDEO CAMERAS: Any public display or use of any photos, videos or digital images of any
NWSS event(s) for public dissemination without express written consent from NWSS is strictly
prohibited. All professional photographers must obtain appropriate media credentials from the
NWSS PR/Media department upon entering the grounds. All visitors (paying or non-paying)
grant to the NWSS and their designees the irrevocable permission to use his or her voice or
likeness in any media now or hereafter existing in connection with all or any part of the NWSS or
related events, for any purpose whatsoever, including the commercial purposes of the NWSS and
their sponsors, licensees, advertisers or broadcasters. NWSS reserves the right to use exhibitor
and livestock images, portraits and likeness as captured by official NWSS photographers for
promotions, advertising and marketing endeavors.
25. BABY STROLLERS: Baby strollers will not be allowed in the stable areas and are strongly
discouraged in other horse and livestock stalling areas. Please place all strollers in the provided

livestock stalling areas.
28. SALES: All sales being conducted by a breed association must be in accordance with state
laws, and/or Breed Regulations. Each consignor must be a member of the association sponsoring

of proper bills of sale, purchaser’s invoices, and consignment records. Sale catalogs must show

$10,000 Gambler’s Choice Jumper Stake
In this competition, each obstacle is allotted a number of points from 10 to 120 according to
difficulty. Obstacles can be jumped in both directions. Each obstacle can be jumped twice to
count. Competitors are credited with the number of points carried by each obstacle provided it is
jumped clear. No points are awarded for an obstacle knocked down.
Each competitor is allowed a fixed time of 60 seconds. During this time, he must cross the starting
line in either direction and may jump all the obstacles he wishes in any order and in any direction.
Sounding the horn declares the end of the round. The competitor must then cross the finish line
in any direction for the time to be recorded. The competitor will then be allotted 20 seconds to
jump the optional Joker Jump one (1) time for a plus or minus 200 points.
The competitor who obtains the greatest number of points will be declared the winner. In the
event of a tie in points, the fastest time taken between the starting line and the finish line will be
decided. In the event of a tie in points and time for first place, there will be a jump-off according
to the same formula with a fixed time of 40 seconds.
