WELCOME FROM THE
GCHS PRESIDENT
Exhibitors: I want to personally invite you to attend and show at the 67th year of the Germantown Charity Horse Show. The show dates are June 2 through June 6, 2015. We are real proud of the fact that we are now one of 20 horse shows that have been awarded the United States Equestrian Federation Heritage Competition. Hope all of you can attend the Exhibitor Party, donuts and coffee every morning, wine and cheese socials in the afternoon, ice cream socials in the afternoon and the welcome wagon everyday with ice tea and water. We will also have a tack room decorating contest being judged on Thursday with a special prize for the winning barn. We are always trying to make Germantown Charity Horse Show one of most Exhibitor Friendly shows you will attend all year. We have just completed two concrete pads at the wash racks. We will have a new exhibitor office completed in the next two months that will make everyone proud. Do not forget to visit our Exhibitor Lounge. I am looking forward to seeing our old exhibitors and meeting the new ones. If I can be of any help to you before, during or after the show please give me a call. Sincerely, Jimmy Chancellor
GCHS President 901‐485‐0236

Primarily based on the feedback from last year’s exhibitors, we’ve made several changes for this year’s Germantown Charity Horse Show. We welcome and appreciate your feedback and ideas before, during and after the show. 

So that we can include more of our breed show exhibitors that don’t arrive until later in the week, we are having two Exhibitors’ Parties. One is on Monday at 5:30pm and the second on Thursday at 5:00pm. Both parties are in the North Ring Pavilion on the show grounds. We’re bringing back the awards for decorating your tack room and your box seat. The tack rooms will be judged on Thursday afternoon and the box seats will be judged on Thursday evening. 
There are now some incentives for reserving your stalls and making your entries by the deadline. o Reserve your stalls on or before May 8th and you’ll save $25 per stall. o All classes that are entered before 1:00pm on the day they are scheduled receive a discount of $10 per class. (Exception – Saturday morning classes should be entered by 8pm on Friday night). 
We are adding Feathered Horses to our schedule this year. This includes Gypsy Vanners, Gypsy Cob, Drum, Fresian, Andalusian and any other “feathered” breed horse. 
Cross‐entering is allowed in the Carriage division. Horses that show in other breed classes are eligible to also show in the carriage classes. 
The prize money for the Western American Saddlebred classes has been significantly increased. We have doubled the prize money in the qualifiers to $250 and increased the championship prize money to $1,500. Due to a lack of participation, the other American Saddlebred classes have been deleted from our schedule. 5 WHAT’S NEW

Several new Paso Fino classes have been added, including youth divisions in Pleasure, Classic Fino and Performance. We’ve also split the Schooling classes into Performance, Classic Fino and Performance. Pay close attention to the schedule because these added classes will run concurrently. 
We’ve increased the prize money in our Racking Horse division and changed the qualifying rules for the Speed Racking Finals. The first heat in our Speed Racking division is now only open to Novice Horses – horses that have never won a Speed Racking class at Germantown or a Speed Racking World Grand Championship. The second heat is Open Speed Racking – open to anyone. The top 5 horses from each of these two classes will advance to the $2,000 Speed Racking Horses Finals on Saturday night. Once a horse has placed in the top 5 and qualified for the finals, it cannot show in another Speed Racking qualifier. 
Pyramid Vodka is sponsoring a “Smooth Ride Challenge.” This class is open to exhibitors 21 years and over with any breed of horse. Each exhibitor will receive a glass filled with Pyramid Vodka and the one who spill the least during the class will win a case of Pyramid Vodka! 
The Jack Russell Terrier Races return to the show this year, and all breeds are welcome. Hollywood Feed is our generous sponsor, and for only $5 per entry, it’s a sure way to have fun with your best friend and enjoy the company of other dog lovers! The races will take place on Saturday, June 6th at 10am. 
The GCHS Board of Directors works hard to insure that the show grounds is beautiful and a top‐notch show facility. When you arrive, you’ll notice several improvements including a newly remodeled show office. 6 USEF MEMBERSHIP STATEMENT Life, senior active and junior active members shall be eligible to participate in all classes at Regular Competitions, Eventing Competitions at the Preliminary Level or above and Combined Driving Competitions at the Advanced Level, Dressage, Reining and Vaulting Competitions and Endurance Rides.
