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

WHAT’S NEW
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 run 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
th
Saturday, June 6 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.

RING SCHEDULE
Any breed with classes in progress has preference in use of the warm-up rings
on the show grounds. We will make every effort to give everyone as much
time as possible to work their horses.
Below are tentative times that rings will be available for Saddlebred, Paso Fino,
Carriage, Feathered Horse, Walking Horse, and Racking Horse exhibitors. Once
entry numbers are confirmed, there is a possibility that more time could be
allotted.
There will be a warm-up ring available next door to the grounds on property
owned by the City of Germantown. There will be a path from the grounds to
the ring. Because it is not lit, it will only be available from 6am – 6pm each
day.
