Horse Show Conduct:
Always be supportive to EVERYONE, we are TEAM TPH!
Unsportsmanlike conduct to your horse, your parents, fellow exhibitors, show officials, and/or us will not be
tolerated. If you cross the line of respect we will handle your behavior in the following order:
1. You will be given a verbal warning.
2. If not corrected, you will be sent to tack stall and will not be showing in your next class.
3. If you recover, you can resume back to your show day. If not, you will be done showing for the day and tend
to your horse as outlined above.
This is about the welfare of your amazing horse, but more importantly the character we at TPH represent.
REMEMBER: There are always more judges present in the warm up area than in the show arena!
TPH believes and lives by: ‘Success is a journey, NOT a destination.’
Tt’s not all about winning blue ribbons, but the rewarding experience you create with your horse, family, &
friends.
Riding with our Brand is a privilege and we expect you to represent us with individual style that is not only
respected by all, but also complemented well into the future. We can be that ‘BARN’!
