cOVID-19 pROTOCOL

 IMPORTANT Please  do not come to the farm if you are feeling unwell or showing any signs  of COVID-19. With regards to cancellation we would still expect a full  24 hours’ notice.  

· Bookings: Please either text or call Kim on 07966462143 to make a booking. 

· *I apologize but I will not be running the under 5 years sessions until later in the year. * 

·  We are very fortunate in that the natural layout of the farm lends  itself perfectly to implement a very good one-way system which we will  be using until further notice. 

· PPE:  It is not  mandatory but please feel free to wear gloves and a protective mask  however, I do understand that wearing a mask whilst riding may not be  terribly comfortable but as long as we maintain good social distancing  when riding this should not pose any risks.  

· On  arrival: Please only park in the car park. (This is not an area to  socialize!) Arrive 10 minutes before your lesson so there should be no  one arriving as customers are leaving.

 
· Reducing  footfall: Once parked, I would like only the rider to leave the car and  whilst maintaining more than 2m social distancing start to follow the  one-way system which you will see on the map below. You will also see  markers and coned-off walkways to use within socially acceptable  boundaries.

 
· One-way system in operation -  Please see the above map. 

·  Route: Riders are to walk down the steps and head towards the hand  sanitizing station and sanitize their hands. Then follow the arrows to  the office, if queuing, wait in single-file 2m apart at the labelled  cones. When reaching the office please pass your envelope through the  hatch of the protective desk screen into a basket and then move down the  line towards the gate of the outdoor school again in single-file.  

·  Payment: Riders should have the correct money in a sealed envelope with  their name, lesson time and date written on the front. (please note  there will be no change given/cash or cheques only)  please make sure cheques are payable to Kim Slater, NOT Kim's Equestrian. 

·  Mounting up: Please wait to be called to enter the school individually  to mount up and at the end off your lesson please dismount on the center  line and wait to be asked to leave the school. 

· Exit  procedure: Follow the arrows on the one-way system to the sanitizing  station and sanitize hands thoroughly. maintaining good social distance  between each other continue quickly and quietly round the back of the  farm and straight to your car to exit the farm. 

·  Sanitizing horse tack: All tack will be disinfected between lessons so  we ask you to please be patient whilst we do this. Please do not be  tempted to touch the horses other than when you are riding them to allow  good social distancing from my staff (club members). 

· Summary: For this to work  successfully and safely and for you to enjoy the sport you love so much I  need your full cooperation in following these rules to the letter.
