6 INFORMATION & RULES for BARNS & STALLS***CONTESTANT HOUSING***TRAILERING 1. BARN/STALL ASSIGNMENT POLICY: Stalls/corrals at Mule Days are reserved on a seniority basis. Reservations are made only for your equines or equines that you train and must be submitted on or before March 6, 2018 with a completed Stall/Corral Reservation Form for seniority requests to be considered. Payment must be included (check or valid credit card info.) for requests to be considered. Stalls held in your name and not used must be turned into the Show Secretary for reassignment. A one-year allowance may be made for illness, etc. at the discretion of the Mule Days Executive Board if requested in writing to the Board. All housing requests will be filled in the order they are received, so submit your housing request as close to March 6 as possible. Stalls will be reserved for competing equines first. After April 15th, remaining stalls will be opened up to Parade equines and/ or other equine housing requests. Failure to comply with this policy will result in loss of seniority. We reserve the right to stable equines as best fits the needs of the Show. All effort will be made to separate Jacks from other equines. 2. Stalling Together/Multiple Reservation Forms: Entries for exhibitors wishing to stall together must be received in one envelope. If a trainer has customers wanting to stall together, they must be received in one envelope. Multiple checks, credit cards, etc. will be accepted as payment for housing fees, but payment MUST be included with the reservation forms. 3. Tack Stalls: There is a limited number of box stalls available and priority will be given to housing of equines, however, Tack Stalls may be requested for contestants/trainers with a minimum of three competing equines. They must be requested using the Equine Housing Reservation Form at a cost of $210 each (stall fee plus deposit fee). Payment must be included with the Reservation Form. 4. Equine Housing: Stalls, shaded and unshaded corrals on the MULE DAYS grounds are rented primarily to competing mules & donkeys. All stalls & corrals are rented for the period of 1:00p.m. on Sunday, May 20, 2018 through 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 29. If housing is needed before 1:00 p.m. on May 21, you must request such to the Show Secretary prior to arrival. Early arrivals will be charged $50/day. The fee maybe paid through the Show Office and packets will not be provided to entrants until early arrival fee has been paid. 5. Stall and Corral Reservation: Each stall/corral request must be made using the Stall/Corral Reservation Form herein. Corrals/stalls will not be reserved unless payment is received. Mandatory charges include a $40 deposit fee for each stall/corral as described on the form. Entries received on or before April 15 will have the stall/corral deposit fee credited toward entry fees. Parade-only equines must wait until after April 15 to secure housing but at that time may obtain housing at published fee without the added $40 deposit. Housing for non-competing equines must pay the $40 deposit. All $40 housing deposit fees are non-refundable. 6. Stall/Corral Fees: Pricing for stalls and corrals for 2018 is: wooden box stall $175, shaded & semi-shaded corrals $165, unshaded corral in the grass area $140 and $60 for a packer corral. 7.

Additional shavings can be purchased at the Show Office. DO NOT USE HAY FOR BEDDING 8. Animal Care: Bring a hose and bucket for watering your animals. Plan for both hot & cold temperatures. Do not string rope across stalls/corrals. You may not leave your animals in your stock trailer. Animals may not be tied to the outside of the corrals or be hobbled in the barn/corral areas. Our insurance carrier mandates that all equines must remain in their stalls or corrals except when being worked for practice, being groomed and cared for or when showing and participating. 9. Animal Health & Safety: Mule Days requires the proper care, handling and treatment of animals while at Mule Days. Owners are responsible for their animals and keeping them under control. All equines and livestock that enter the grounds are subject to examination by Mule Days officials/ designated representative and/or state officials for determination of possible infection or inhumane treatment. Officials may examine for determination whether such animals are, have been infected/exposed or are likely to be infected with an infectious or contagious disease. If after examination, officials have reason to believe that an animal s health condition places other animals at risk, such officials at their own discretion, may quarantine such animals or, if appropriate, require that such animals be transported off the grounds. Intentional or negligent treatment of any animal deemed by a MULE DAYS Official to be inhumane or abusive may require that person to be removed from the grounds for a time period determined by the Executive Committee including but not limited to a permanent ban from all future MULE DAYS events. 10. Stock Trailer Parking: A limited number of parking spaces exist close to the barn area for horse trailers. They are intended for contestants who tack up from their trailer.
