Our reading
Horses get their own section in Vermont's fraud chapter. Knowingly and designedly entering or driving a painted or disguised horse to compete for a prize offered by an agricultural society, or falsely and fraudulently representing one horse as another for that purpose, can bring up to six months in jail, a $500 fine, or both. Knowingly or designedly entering a horse in a class it isn't entitled to enter under the society's rules is covered too.
Written by Silly Rules from the quoted text above. It's a plain reading, not legal advice. We haven't researched how courts read this section or how often anyone enforces it.
