Covid 19 Guidelines
25th of March, 2020After the statement made by the government on Monday night asking
people to stay at home unless it is essential we have reviewed our position to
come in line with the British Equestrian Federation advice.
This means with immediate effect we are implementing time
slots for people to attend the yard. You are requested to stick to your time
slot and should there be any problems you text me the night before so I can
rearrange an appropriate time.
Whilst on the yard we request that you only attend your own
barn but should you come into contact with anyone else you observe the 2m
social distancing advice given by the government.
Hand sanitizer will be in each barn please use it when you
enter and when you leave. We request where possible you wear gloves, again to
help minimize risk.
You should only use your own tools, if you do not have any
then please let me know and I will arrange some for you to use whilst these
restrictions are in place.
With regards to wheelbarrows please use the blue roll and
hand sanitizer to clean the handles after use.
Should you need to use the toilet there is soap and hand
sanitizer available please use them. The toilet will be cleaned on a regular
basis but there will be disposable clothes and bleach in there if you wish to
clean it before you use it.
If you come into my barn please only use the toilet, if you
need feed text me. If the weather is fine it will be placed on the pallet
outside my barn, if it is raining we will deliver it, 24 hours notice would be
ideal.
Vets and farriers will be attending but they have requested
that only yard owners are there to minimize the risk of infection.
What is very important is, if you start with symptoms STAY
AT HOME. Text and we will look after your horse.
The attached guidelines from the BEF say it is your own choice
to ride, you must consider NHS resources. At this moment it is not for me to
insist either way on this, all I would advise is that you are sensible,
personally I would recommend that nobody jumps. If you want to discuss this
further please call me.
These are uncertain times but if we all adhere to the
guidelines we can minimize any risk. Any concerns please call me.
