I/We warrant title to each consigned animal
herein entered and agree to defend said title against all adverse claims. NILE
may act as my agent in the named sale at public auction of the named animal,
with full authority to transfer title thereon and to receive the proceeds of
such sale for my account. I covenant and agree to indemnify and hold harmless
NILE from any and all costs, liabilities and sundry expenses (including
attorney fees) incurred because of, or arising out of, any question of title or
defect to any or all consigned animals, or resulting from liens, attachments or
claims against the net proceeds from the sale thereof. All title to, interest
in, possession of and management of each consignment shall remain with me until
fall of the gavel or other such customary manner of announcement of completion
of the sale.

I, hereby for myself, my horse(s), my heirs,
executors and personal representative, waive and release any and all rights and
claims for damages against NILE, its Board of Directors, Staff, Membership,
Sponsors, and MetraPark, Yellowstone County, their representatives, successors,
and assigns for any and all damages, theft, death, or injuries incurred due to
my participation in this event.
3)
I understand that a Selection Committee will
accept or decline consignments based, in part, on an application, video and/or
pictures provided by me. Once horse is cataloged, no other refunds of
consignment fees will be issued for any reason. If accepted and cataloged, I
authorize NILE to screen my consignment at an on-site, pre-sale screening
conducted by a licensed veterinarian and screening committee. Committee shall
have authority to accept or reject consignments at its discretion based on soundness,
health, and disposition. Soundness is considered: sight in both eyes, good in

transport the consignment to the screening and sale facility and to remain in
control of the animal at all times before and during the sale. Consignments not
present at screening will forfeit consignment fee.

herein, shall not be grounds for rescission of the sale by the purchaser. The
purchaser or his agent may take care, custody and/or control of the horse
immediately at the fall of the hammer, but such taking shall not constitute
delivery. Delivery shall be made only after the purchaser presents himself to
the cashier and makes settlement by tendering the purchase price in full.
