Welcome to Wild Rose Virtual Horse Show ("WRVHS," "we," "us," or "our").

The information, services, competitions, judging feedback, and materials provided through the Wild Rose Virtual Horse Show website are intended to support an enjoyable, educational, and accessible virtual equestrian competition experience.

By accessing this website or participating in a WRVHS competition, you acknowledge the information outlined in this Disclaimer.

Please read this Disclaimer carefully alongside our Terms and Conditions and other website policies.

1. General Information Disclaimer

Wild Rose Virtual Horse Show is an independently operated online equestrian competition platform.

Our website provides information regarding virtual horse shows, competition classes, entry procedures, video submissions, judging criteria, results, and awards.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information published on our website is accurate, current, and complete. However, occasional errors, omissions, or changes may occur.

WRVHS does not guarantee that all website content will be free from inaccuracies or interruptions.

Competition participants are responsible for reviewing the current rules, requirements, and deadlines applicable to their selected classes.

2. Equestrian Activity and Safety Disclaimer

Equestrian activities are inherently dangerous and involve risks of serious injury, permanent disability, death, and property damage.

These risks may arise from, but are not limited to:

• Falls from horses.

• Unpredictable horse behaviour.

• Kicking, biting, bucking, bolting, or rearing.

• Equipment or tack failure.

• Unsafe or uneven footing.

• Collisions with jumps, obstacles, or other objects.

• Weather and environmental conditions.

• Rider error or loss of control.

• Inadequate training, supervision, or preparation.

• Injuries sustained during groundwork, handling, or riding.

Participants are responsible for evaluating their own experience, physical capabilities, and ability to safely complete the activities required for their chosen competition.

WRVHS strongly encourages all participants to wear appropriate protective equipment, including properly fitted, approved equestrian helmets, and to follow recognized equestrian safety practices.

Participation in a WRVHS competition does not eliminate or reduce the inherent risks associated with equestrian activities.

3. Independent Participation and Facility Safety

Wild Rose Virtual Horse Show operates entirely through remote participation.

Competitors complete and record their performances at locations of their choosing, which may include private properties, boarding facilities, riding arenas, training centres, or other suitable equestrian facilities.

WRVHS does not ordinarily:

• Inspect competition facilities.

• Supervise riders or horses in person.

• Assess arena footing or environmental conditions.

• Inspect tack, equipment, or obstacles.

• Verify the physical fitness of every horse or rider.

• Provide on-site emergency assistance.

• Control the actions of horses, riders, handlers, or spectators.

Participants are responsible for ensuring that their competition environment is appropriate and reasonably safe.

Where necessary, competitors should obtain assistance from qualified equestrian professionals and ensure suitable supervision is available.

WRVHS does not provide on-site safety certification or approval of participant-selected facilities.

4. Horse Welfare Disclaimer

The health, safety, and well-being of horses are important priorities of Wild Rose Virtual Horse Show.

Participants are expected to use humane training methods, appropriate equipment, and responsible horsemanship practices.

WRVHS does not physically examine horses or independently verify their health and fitness before participation.

Competitors are responsible for ensuring that their horses:

• Are physically fit for the activities performed.

• Are not knowingly subjected to unnecessary pain or distress.

• Receive appropriate veterinary and farrier care.

• Are trained and conditioned for the level of competition.

• Are handled and ridden humanely.

• Are not placed in unsafe or unsuitable situations.

WRVHS may refuse or disqualify an entry where submitted material provides credible evidence of serious horse welfare concerns.

The absence of a welfare-related comment or disqualification does not mean that WRVHS has certified a horse as healthy, sound, or suitable for competition.

5. Judging and Scoring Disclaimer

All WRVHS competitions are evaluated according to the judging criteria and rules published for the applicable class.

Judging may involve professional interpretation, subjective assessment, and discipline-specific scoring standards.

Competitors acknowledge that:

• Different judges may evaluate the same performance differently.

• Scores and comments represent the judge's assessment of the submitted performance.

• Video quality and camera positioning may affect what a judge can reasonably observe.

• Competition results do not guarantee future performance or success.

• Feedback is intended to support learning and improvement.

WRVHS makes reasonable efforts to provide fair, consistent, and impartial judging.

However, we do not guarantee that every performance will receive a particular score, percentage, placing, or award.

Verified administrative or mathematical errors may be reviewed and corrected in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

6. Educational and Training Information Disclaimer

Any riding tips, training suggestions, judge comments, educational articles, or equestrian resources provided by WRVHS are intended for general educational and informational purposes.

Such information does not replace individualized instruction or assessment from a qualified equestrian professional.

Training methods and exercises may not be appropriate for every horse or rider.

Competitors should consider their own experience, their horse's abilities, and their training environment before attempting any suggested activity.

WRVHS does not guarantee that following educational recommendations will produce a particular training or competition outcome.

7. Veterinary and Medical Disclaimer

Information published by WRVHS is not intended to replace professional veterinary or medical advice.

WRVHS does not provide veterinary diagnoses, medical treatment, or individualized healthcare recommendations.

If a horse appears injured, lame, unwell, or distressed, participants should seek advice from a qualified veterinarian.

If a rider or handler experiences an injury or medical concern, they should seek appropriate medical assistance.

In an emergency, participants should contact local emergency services or an appropriate veterinary emergency provider.

8. Video Submission Disclaimer

WRVHS competitions rely on video recordings submitted by participants.

Although we establish submission requirements to support fair judging, we cannot independently verify every circumstance surrounding a recorded performance.

Participants are responsible for ensuring that submitted videos:

• Accurately represent the performance.

• Comply with the applicable class requirements.

• Are recorded safely and responsibly.

• Do not contain prohibited editing or manipulation.

• Are submitted with appropriate permissions.

• Remain accessible throughout the required judging period.

WRVHS may reject or disqualify submissions that do not meet published requirements.

We do not guarantee that every submitted video will be suitable for scoring if visibility, sound, camera positioning, or technical quality is inadequate.

9. Competition Availability and Changes

WRVHS may offer different classes, divisions, events, and awards throughout the year.

Competition availability, rules, schedules, judges, and awards may vary.
