7 The Rolex Central Park Horse Show Jumper Rider Information The Rolex Central Park Horse Show will be held from the 23rd to the 29th September 2015 following the enormous success of last year s inaugural event. Our goal last year was to develop the profile and exposure of equestrian sport in the US and this was achieved in spectacular fashion. The show generated over 604 million media impressions which is a record for any equestrian event ever held in North America. To make this happen we needed the help and support of each rider and their team, and we really appreciated the great effort that everyone made. The event this year coincides with the Pope s visit to New York so there will be special security in place around the stable area from Thursday afternoon to Friday evening. We are awaiting further details but this area will be very restricted and we ask your understanding and cooperation during this period. This year we have changed the format and will have two FEI CSI 3* classes, a $40,000 FEI Table C class, and a Grand Prix worth $212,000 and a rider bonus of $25,000. We will also have a U25 FEI Grand Prix and a Jr/Am Invitational event. Horses showing two consecutive days, will stay overnight in Central Park and will be jogged and based out of the USET facility in Gladstone. This is preliminary information and more will follow.

19 USET BIOSECURITY FORM THIS FORM MUST ACCOMPANY ALL HORSES SHIPPING INTO THE USET FOUNDATION FACILITY By signing this letter I hereby certify that none of the horses in my care have been in direct contact or stabled with any horses that have received a positive test for the EHV-1 & 4 virus. I also certify that none of the horses in my care have been housed in any current quarantined facility. I also certify that I will continue to follow all biosecurity precautions set forth by the USET Foundation. Print Name Date / / Signature Name of horse Arrival Date Address of horses origin prior to coming to USET Foundation: In effect until further notice, no horses will be allowed to ship onto the USET Foundation property without a health certificate/statement from a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours of arriving. USET Foundation is asking all equestrians to enact biosecurity protocols and be proactive and responsible for their horses, including daily temperature charts. Do not bring any horses that come from quarantined farms onto USET Foundation property. An integral part of a showing environment includes healthy horses. Exhibitors, especially those traveling long distances, can contribute to that healthy environment by following the basic requirements listed below:

20 Page two USET Biosecurity 1. A current negative coggins test. Please renew before it expires, and not just before it is necessary to leave the state. 2. All horses have received regular and consistent vaccinations for Equine EHV-1 & 4 (either modified live or killed vaccine) no sooner than 7 days prior and with most recent booster being within 90 days prior to entering the USET Foundation. Most EHV-1 & 4 vaccines are only considered effective for 90 days. Check with your veterinarian about which vaccine you should use. 3. A health certificate/statement on licensed veterinarian letterhead within 48 hours of arrival is required for all horses shipping onto the property. All horses should be able to produce proof of vaccine, preferably labeled on the health certificate/statement. 4. You should be able to document your horse s normal temperature before arrival. Please do not ship horses with elevated temperatures. It is recommended that you establish a log of temperatures taken at least twice daily. If there is an elevated temperature for more than a 24 hour period, please consult your local veterinarian immediately. 5. Every effort should be made to minimize stress and commingling of horses shipped long distances. Extra hours on a horse van, or moving from stable to stable, is the fastest way to compromise your horses and your neighbors horses health. 6. Immediately report any elevated temperature to the person running the specific event you are attending so they can report it to the USET Foundation.
