COVID-19 Protocols

1. Emails with procedures and details of activities are sent to every rider ahead of time.  This could up to 4 contacts by e-mail and a phone interview for every rider and family.

2. ALL arrivals are given a COVID-19 questionnaire to sign on a laminated sheet.  This saves paper. Pink for employees, green for families/riders and blue for volunteers.

3. ALL arrivals get their temperatures taken. 

4. ALL arrivals are asked to wash their hands:  volunteers in the tack room, families or riders at the picnic table.  This is mandatory because we pass toys, equipment and toss balls to riders so every one starts with washed hands.

5. ALL arrivals bring their own mask or are given disposable mask.  Masks are kept on our person and only used when social distance of 2 metres (6 feet) is not possible.

6. Lists for play dates keep record of what is used and lesson plans keep a record of what is touched.

7. All families and riders work out of doors and are not allowed in the sheds, stable or house.  There is a port-a-potty on site early this year to accommodate bathroom requirements.

8. All families and riders must bring their own snacks and refreshments.  Water is available in the tack room, but only volunteers are permitted to get it, if needed.

9. EVERYTHING (tools, equipment, surfaces) are disinfected by the volunteers after every use; and Patty sprays lysol after everyone leaves on what ever they touched.
