The following rules are here for your safety and others around you
- Riders must wait for permission to enter from the instructor.
- The school must be poo-picked on completion of your ride and at the end of each day.
- Riders should line their horses up in the centre of the school when mounting and each horse should be kept a safe distance apart and well in from the outside track.
- When moving off, riders should check that the way ahead is clear and should have a basic plan of where they are going next.
- When working around the school, riders should pass left hand to left hand. This means that riders working on the right rein (with their right hand nearest to the centre of the school) should give way to those riders working on the left rein. To do this they should move onto the inside track and away from the wall.
- Keep a minimum distance of a horse’s length between you and the horse in front.
- No rider should halt on the track as a rider approaching from behind may not be able to stop in time. The exception to this is if you are told to do so by the instructor.
- Riders should halt in a safe place in the centre of the school and should always check that no-one is behind them before they do so.
- Riders should not walk on the track if others are moving at faster paces. The riders in the faster paces have right of way on the track.
- Riders should at all times be aware of the other horses and riders in the school and should be looking where they are going so they are less likely to collide.
- Riders should at all times behave sensibly and proceed with caution.
- If a rider falls off and a horse gets loose, all riders should halt in the centre of the school.
- All equipment (jumps, poles etc.) must be put away when no longer required, you have completed your ride or at the end of each day.
- The school must be poo-picked on completion of your ride and at the end of each day.
