| The MCTRP provides sponsorship and financial help for the Special Olympics and riding programs for the handicap. For a child with disabilities, therapeutic horseback riding is much more than just riding around a ring. It’s a way to discover a whole new world of adventure, freedom, responsibility, dignity and excitement. The Miller Creek Therapeutic Riding Program (MCTRP) is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization designed specifically to enrich and empower the lives of individuals with special needs through the bond between horse and rider. The MCTRP center is located in Missoula, Montana. It is our greatest wish to give those with disabilities the chance to discover the challenge and joy of therapeutic riding. If you would like to learn more about therapeutic riding and its benefits, or would like to provide financial support, please contact us by calling (406) 251-3836. Your tax-deductible gift will go a long way toward turning dreams into reality instead of wishful thinking! |

Payment must accompany the entry form before the entry is considered received. There will be a $35 charge for a returned check, regardless of the reason for the return. Class fees paid for a horse that is not pre-entered will have a post entry fee, even if your own horse was pre-entered. Entries at the show will be accepted up to two classes prior to the class to be entered. Show tabs are available if a signed open check is left at the office prior to class entry.
All MSHSA classes will be conducted and judged according to the current MSHSA rules and USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) (go to www.mshsa.org for rules). The show will not be responsible for any accidents to persons, horses, equipment or loss of equipment. Presentation of entry blank shall be deemed acceptance of this rule. No refunds will be made on withdrawals from classes unless a veterinary certificate is submitted for horse or a doctor's certificate for the exhibitor to the show office prior to the class or within 5 days after the show. Only classes missed at the show due to farrier problems at the show will be refunded. There will be no switching of classes for horses or riders. No substitution of horses or riders in a class. Any switching or substitution is considered a scratch. Stall fees, high point award fees and office charges are non-refundable. ONLY ONE HORSE MAY BE LISTED PER ENTRY FORM. The show charge applies to each horse. Two riders may be listed on the form. You are responsible for correctly completing the entry and any later entries so the results can be correctly counted. Classes entered at the show must be listed on a supplemental form, available at the office.

We will provide accommodation as best we can. No profanity will be tolerated. Show management reserves the right to expel an exhibitor. Poor sportsmanship is not acceptable.
