When entering your horse in the Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show, it's crucial to avoid unnecessary fees. A $50 charge applies for each returned check or declined credit card transaction. In this guide, we'll help you navigate the entry process to ensure you don't incur extra costs.

Understanding the $50 Fee Rule

Participating in the Kentucky State Fair Horse Show comes with a set of financial responsibilities. One important aspect is the rule regarding entry fees and payment methods. Here’s what you need to know:

• $50 Fee: If your check is returned or your credit card transaction is declined, you will be charged $50. This fee also applies to any invalid credit card numbers.
• Complete Payments: Ensure all charges are covered by one check or credit card number per entry.

Step-by-Step Guide to Avoid Fees

Double-Check Your Payment Method
Before submitting your entry, verify that your check has sufficient funds or your credit card details are accurate and up-to-date.

Fill Out the Entry Blank Correctly

• One Owner per Entry Blank: Make sure each entry blank is completed for one owner only.
• Include All Necessary Documents: Attach copies of registration certificates, AHHS and/or ARHPA membership cards, and a pony measurement card if applicable.

Ensure All Signatures Are Present
All required signatures for the owner, rider, trainer, and responsible party must be on the entry form. A trainer may sign as an agent if necessary.

Prepare for Payment
Use a valid check or credit card. If payment fails, you’ll need to provide an alternative that is solvent to avoid delays and additional fees.
