1. Per USEF suggestions posted on their website: The barn, during this time, is limited to trainers, riders, grooms, and official personnel such as vets and farriers. Our concern is that with so many students out of school (boarding school, college, etc) that Cedarhill could become too much of a refuge, and that families, college kids, boarding school kids could start using it as a sanctioned and safe social outing. New guidelines suggest limiting gatherings to ten. While I know that the barn creates decent distance due to it’s open-air and outdoor nature, the barn does, however, have a lot of shared equipment and some shared space. One bathroom, one lounge, shared grooming tools, shared spray bottles, etc. and for safety reasons some of our policies will change.
Effective tomorrow:
1. Our barn be limited to riders, and that families keep their siblings at home or in the car, only riders in the barn. To avoid large gatherings, we ask that our riders are only here for a maximum of 2 hours to lesson and/or hack- sufficient time to get it all done.
2. Wear gloves on from arrival to departure.
3. From now on we ask Boarders and Full Lessor riders to ONLY use their personal equipment (halters, lead ropes, thrush buster, grooming tools, tack cleaner, polos, boots, saddle pads, girths, Thrush treatment, Shampoo etc). This also includes spray bottles of all kinds. We will be removing the communal brushes and bottles of shampoo, ointments, thrush spray, girths, and halters and lead ropes. NO going in people’s trunks and scrounging around for things.
4. All non boarders and outside horse lessors will remain in outside barn where Cedarhill staff will maintain disinfecting communal equipment.
5. Tack room doors are to remain open and a Lysol cleaning system will be set up for bathroom. You are asked to wipe door knobs and surfaces before and after use with the a lysol soaked towel. Bathrooms will be sprayed and wiped daily with Bleach solution.
6. If you have been out of the country or in an area recommending quarantine please be respectful of that, It’s there for a reason. And obviously if you have any cold or flu symptoms please stay home. Cough sore throat fever body aches fatigue etc.
7. If people need to reschedule to have time to acquire needed items have symptomatic or due to recommended quarantine we will be flexible with our schedules.
