WCMHC Policy on Sick Horses at Shows In order for this policy to take effect, the show manager must receive at least three complaints from three separate exhibitors, each accompanied by a $50 deposit, regarding the health of a horse present at the show. If these complaints are received, representatives of the show committee must inform the owner of the horse in question that these complaints have been received, and a vet of the show committee s choice must be called to examine the horse. The exam will take place without the interference of the owner of the horse. If it is determined that the horse is sick and/or contagious, then the bill for the vet will be paid for by the owner of the horse, and the deposits made by the complainants will be refunded. If it is determined that the horse is not sick or contagious, the deposits made by the complainants will be used to pay the bill for the vet. It will be up to the show committee in consultation with the vet to determine whether the horse will remain at the show, will remain at the show but be isolated from the other horses, or will be asked to leave. If a sick horse is already under veterinary medical care, it may attend the show if it is not contagious and the owner can produce a statement from his or her veterinarian confirming the non-contagious state of the horse.
