Stalling Information

2013 is our fourth year operating with our new Stall Barn which holds approximately 750 stalls.

 

Stalls

A stall is mandatory for every animal entering the grounds. No preassigned stalls. Stalls will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis. All stalls are approximately 10' x 10'. Stalls will be issued upon arrival at the Horse Arrival Station. Locks are not allowed on animal stalls. Stalls must be kept clean and refuse disposed of in marked containers. Contestants are not allowed to move other owner's animals from stalls. Any damage or physical alteration to the stalls will be charged to contestant. No portable pens will be allowed on the grounds.

 

Health Requirements

There will be no exceptions to any health requirements. These time restrictions must not expire while the animal is on the grounds and documents must be in hand. All animals must be in accordance with current TAHC rules and requirements are subject to change.

Have your veterinarian check the current requirements before issuing health papers.
