per stall.

The stall assignment ticket and $350 stall fee must be
returned with the horse show entry blank.

Exhibitors requesting, but not obtaining, stalls in any of the
assigned stall barns may choose to have stalls pre-designated
in their choice of remaining stall areas at a stall fee of $250.
The $100 difference will be refunded UPON REQUEST at the
Congress.

Exhibitors may call (614) 294-9999 between Monday,
September 29 and Thursday, October 2, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. EST to find out the location of stall assignments in the

as requested, they may choose another area.

forfeit their right to pre-assigned stalls. Exhibitors who place
horses into stalls prior to 8:00 a.m. on Friday, October 10, will

occurs

Stall Decorations
All electrical appliances and electric usage must be approved by
the Barn Manager.

Exhibitors/Agents are discouraged from using tile flooring with
stall decorations. If tile flooring is used, the exhibitor/agent is

this rule will forfeit their eligibility for the 2009 stall assignment
process.

According to the State Fire Code Requirements, if an agent’s stall
decorations include covering the top of the stalling area, the
agent must have a smoke detector and a small disposable fire
extinguisher in their tack area. Detectors and extinguishers are
available for sale in the Feed and Bedding office for $5 each.
