C. Horses known by the exhibitor to have an infectious, communicable disease or to have been exposed to
an infectious, communicable disease, or to be from a quarantined herd may not be entered in an
exhibition. Warts and ringworm are considered communicable diseases. Therefore, horses affected by
these diseases cannot be exhibited. A statement from a veterinarian that an animal is being treated for
these diseases is not acceptable.
D. All horses will be inspected by the official veterinarian on the opening date of the exhibition and daily
during the exhibition. The official veterinarian will order the immediate removal to a quarantine facility or
removal from the exhibition premises of any horses with symptoms of infectious or communicable disease.
They may not enter a show ring. This includes horses with warts or ringworm.
E. Horses not originating in Minnesota: Horses must meet the Minnesota Importation requirements in addition
to the above requirements. Health certificates must list the Minnesota State Fair as consignee and will be
accepted if examination and tests are conducted within 90 days prior to the exhibition.
F. VETERINARIAN SERVICES. The State Fair has a veterinarian on duty 24 hours a day. Phone number
(651) 642-2340. All services should be paid for in cash upon completion.
29. HORSE WELFARE. Conduct outside of the competition ring: Any action(s) against a horse by an exhibitor,
deemed excessive by a judge, Federation Steward, Management/staff or Competition Veterinarian anywhere on
the competition grounds may be punished by official warning or elimination from the class. Such action(s) could
include, but are not limited to: excessive or improper use of the whip, spurs, reins, rider's weight or rider's hands;
lunging a visibly exhausted horse; lunging an obviously lame horse; chasing a horse with a lunge whip or other
inappropriate use of the whip; the use of a lunge whip with any type of appendage or attachment, including but
not limited to bags and flags; excessive and/or disruptive cracking of the whip. In addition, after consultation with
the Competition Manager and a Competition Steward, additional penalties, including one or more of the
following: the issuance of an official warning card, disqualification from competing within the upcoming 24-hour
period, or disqualification from the balance of the competition.
30. HELMETS.
A. It is compulsory for all persons at Federation Licensed Hunter, Humper or Hunter/Jumper competitions,
when mounted anywhere on the competition ground to wear properly fastened protective headgear in
compliance with the accepted testing standards published n the Federation's website. Must be properly
fitted with harness secured. Exception: In Hunter or Jumper classes, adults may be allowed to remove
their headgear while accepting prizes and during the playing of the national anthem only; they must
refasten their headgear prior to the lap of honor. It is the responsibility of the rider or the parent or guardian
of the junior exhibitor to see to it that the headgear intended for equestrian use, and is properly fitted and in
good condition. See USEF GR 801.
B. 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.
C. The Federation makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, about any protective headgear,
and cautions riders that death or serious injury may result despite wearing such headgear as all equestrian
sports involve inherent dangerous risk and as no helmet can protect against all foreseeable injuries. See
USEF rules GR 801.
31. NO GOLF CARTS PERMITTED ON FAIRGROUNDS FOR DURATION OF STATE FAIR HORSE SHOWS.
32. GOLF CARTS and MOTORIZED VEHICLES. USEF Rule GR1301 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/legal guardian, 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 penalties against those
responsible for the child committing the offense. Wheelchairs and other mobility assistance devices for
individuals with disabilities are exempt from this rule. No golf carts/cars of any type will be permitted within the
barn area, except official State Fair carts. Others will be impounded at owners' expense.
The unsafe use of personal electronic transport devices, as determined by the competition officials and management
in their sole discretion, that do not require a driver’s license to operate, including but not limited to segways,
hover boards, and single wheeled scooters is prohibited on competition grounds. Operating such devices in
areas where people gather may be deemed “unsafe use” if there is a risk of harm to others. If the operator of the
device is a minor, the parent/legal guardian or individual who signs the entry blank as a parent or guardian of a
minor operating the device in violation of this rule is accountable and may be subject to penalties.
