Page 26 - 2020 RRP TB Makeover rulebook

• Bareback riding is only allowable during the Freestyle division or during dedicated Freestyle schooling.
For the same reason, the RRP strongly encourages riders of all dis- ciplines to wear an ASTM-approved helmet. Juniors and riders taking part in jumping disciplines are required to wear a helmet.
See discipline descriptions and appendix for further information on acceptable equipment.
Trainers are not restricted in their decision to sell their Thoroughbred Makeover entries and the RRP is not a party to the sale. All regis- tered horses, regardless of whether or not they were included in the Thoroughbred Makeover Marketplace or completed the competition in Kentucky, are to be protected by including the following language in any bill of sale or adoption contract:
Selling Your Thoroughbred Makeover Entry
1) Notification of Resale Clause: Buyer or adopter agrees to make a reasonable effort to notify Seller when the horse is made available for sale in the future.
2) Anti-Slaughter Clause: Buyer or adopter will not knowingly sell the horse to a “kill buyer” or allow the horse to be sold at public auction for less than $1,000
Status Reporting
Whether Thoroughbred Makeover horses sell in advance of the Thoroughbred Makeover event, during it, or in the twelve months af- ter, all Trainers agree to notify the RRP of the sale via an online form. Sale notification to the RRP will include the name of the buyer and the purchase price or adoption fee. The RRP agrees to keep this information confidential unless both buyer and seller agree for it to be made public. The RRP will aggregate sale statistics for public reports.
Microchipping
Trainers will be required to report a Jockey Club-registered microchip number on Final Entry Forms for those horses bound to compete at the Kentucky Horse Park in October. ALL Trainers are strongly en- couraged to microchip their entries even if the horse doesn’t ultimately attend the Makeover. Microchipping is an inexpensive, unobtrusive way to ensure reliable, life-long identification for horses. For these reasons, microchipping is quickly becoming a standard requirement in both racing and sport. All Jockey Club-registered foals from the 2017 crop on are microchipped. Many North American Thoroughbred tracks are now
