ESPC Members Update
Sonja Walker • April 2, 2021
Dear Parents & Members,
I hope you are looking forward to getting out to some PC clinics with your horses and ponies over Easter. Please could you read the following important information very carefully. Sorry it's so long but needs must in the current situation.
Passports
Don't forget your pony's passport! We will be doing random spot tests for Equine Flu vaccinations. The 12-month booster is fine for training.
EHV-1
An Equine Health Status Declaration form needs to be completed 24 hours before
you attend your first ESPC clinic. It can be done electronically HERE or by emailing the attached form
to clare.espc@gmail.com
Thereafter it is essential you carry out the self checks as detailed on the form. As we start the journey out of human lockdown, we do not want to see our equestrian sport locked down too.
COVID-19
Please do not attend if you or anyone in your family:
- Have symptoms of COVID-19.
- Have tested positive for Coronavirus in the past 10 days, or are required to self-isolate.
- Only one person from the same household should be transporting their child and helping with loading, tacking up, etc. However, if you need to bring a driver because you are unable to, then this is acceptable as long as it is essential.
- Other siblings or family members not involved in the lesson should not attend if possible.
- Social distancing of 2m must be maintained by accompanying adults which can be reduced to 1m if you wear masks.
- Please don't form a group of more than six.
- PC Members should not wear masks when mounted.
- Please allow 5-10m between vehicles when parking.
- If possible please make arrangements to use toilet facilities in your horse transport vehicle.
- Please bring your own hand sanitiser and masks.
- It is the parent's responsibility to check the girth and tack.
- Remember ...... ARRIVE......TRAIN.... LEAVE!
Payments
- These should be made online, in advance to “East Sussex Branch of the Pony Club” Sort Code 20-27-91 Account No 90398624
- Use the reference ‘activity-date-rider first name’ (eg. Rally 07/04 Clare B).
