COVID-19 Event Procedures

This document outlines how competitions will be run at the Ian Stark Equestrian Centre (the “Venue”) during the COVID-19 epidemic. Correct at 9.12.2020 but subject to change to follow government and BD guidance at time of event

Everyone involved with the events including staff, officials, volunteers and competitors should familiarise themselves with these procedures.

By working together and following all relevant guidance, we can help to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Right to Enter the Venue

Anyone who has shown, or been in contact with someone showing, any symptoms of COVID-19 may not enter the Venue.

Anyone who, in the opinion of the organising committee, is showing symptoms of COVID-19 will be required to leave the Venue immediately.

Social distancing must be practiced at all times whilst at the Venue. Anyone who, in the opinion of the organising committee, is found to be repeatedly in breach of the social distancing guidelines will be required to leave the Venue immediately.

Riders may be accompanied by one person for each horse that they are attending the event with. Only the following categories of people, other than staff and officials, may enter the Venue during the event.

• Rider
• Horse Owner
• Parent/Guardian of Rider (if under 18 years)
• Groom

People who do not fit one of the categories above will not be permitted entry to the Venue.

When in the centre, including during course walks, face coverings are MANDATORY with the exception of when mounted.

ISEC strongly recommends the use of face coverings when not riding.

Arrival at the Venue

People must not arrive earlier than one hour before the published start time of their first competition.

On arrival at the Venue, people must follow all directions given to them by ISEC staff and provide details for track and trace.

People should park allowing minimum of 3m between vehicles and with due regard to social distancing guidelines and tack up and untack at their vehicle.

Collecting Ring

On arrival at the Collecting Ring entrance, do not enter the Collecting Ring until directed to do so by a steward.

The only personnel authorised to enter the Collecting Ring are riders on a horse and venue staff and officials.  People not specifically authorised to enter the Collecting Ring will not be permitted entry to the Collecting Ring.

Riders are not allowed to have their own representative in the Collecting Ring.  Anyone found to be entering the Collecting Ring who has not been specifically authorised may be asked to leave the Venue.

The Competition

When the collecting ring steward calls a rider, they must enter the competition arena and complete their round/test.  Any rider failing to come forward when called will not be allowed to compete and must immediately leave the Collecting Ring. 

Once you have completed your competitive round, you must immediately return to your vehicle.

There will not be any prize-giving ceremonies during the event. Results will be posted online and, where applicable, any prize money will be paid via BACS.  Prize winners must email BACS details to tracy@ianstarkequestriancentre.co.uk within 14 days of the competition.  If there are prizes in kind, these will be in the form of vouchers that will be sent to the winners.

The Café

Our Café will be open serving take-away food.  Entrance to the Café will be through the bottom door closest to the warm-up arena where there is a one-way system in place and 2m floor markers for queuing.  Please follow all signs and instructions when in the Café area.
