Please Read - Covid 19 Policies

Hey Raynham Riders!

It was a great first week back to lessons and it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces back at the barn. There has been some confusion regarding our Covid-19 procedures. We ask that all riders please review the policies below before coming to the barn.  All riders must have a mask in case they need to tack up indoors or staff needs to get closer than 2m to assist you.

We are just finalizing the details for our summer programs now, details will be sent out shortly!

Raynham Stables COVID-19 Policies:

The safety of our clients and staff members remains our number one priority.  Due to the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), Raynham Stables is taking extra precautions, including a self-declaration of health and enhanced sanitation/disinfection procedures in accordance with Equestrian Canada and the Province of Ontario’s recommendations.

Do NOT come to the barn if you or anyone in your household:

• Has any symptoms of Covid-19 (Fever, new or worsening cough, new or worsening shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches, sore throat, runny nose or headache)
• Has been out of the country in the past 14 days
• Has been diagnosed with Covid-19 in the past 21 days or has been in contact with someone diagnosed with Covid-19

​

Additional Standards to Ensure the Safety of our Riders:

• All visits to the barn are by appointment only until further notice. 
• Staff will be sanitizing all commonly touched indoor surfaces and shared equipment between riders.
• ​We will be reducing lesson volume and staggering classes to ensure physical distancing.
• We are limiting the number of people to 5 per building to ensure physical distancing (max of 2 people in tack rooms)
• We will use outdoor facilities, weather permitting.
• Coaches/staff will ensure they maintain physical distance from riders.

Covid-19 Procedures:

• Please do not bring any guests/spectators to lessons. Riders under the age of 18 may have a parent stay to assist them or watch if lesson if tacking up/riding outdoors, but they are not permitted in the buildings
• Please arrive 30 min before your lesson, enter through the tack up area and immediately wash your hands and sign in.  Riders must be done untacking and out of the buildings or wash stalls no more than 30 min after their lesson to make space for the next student.
• If weather permits, please use the outdoor wash stalls for tacking up/untacking.  If the weather is poor, you will be assigned a grooming stall in the tack up area to use. We will only use each grooming stall once, and then disinfect before they are used again.
• If you have your own lead rope and grooming supplies, please use them.  If you use the barns equipment, please place brushes/lead ropes/etc. in the labeled disinfectant after use.
• Masks must be worn when tacking-up indoors or if staff needs to get within 2m to assist you, but should be removed once mounted (have a pocket!)
• Please be sure to clean all tack thoroughly with soap and water after each use.
• Riders are reminded to wash/sanitize hands frequently while on the property, avoid touching their face, and cough/sneeze into their sleeve.
• Please try to avoid using the washroom. If you need to use it, please spray anything you've touched with the bottle of disinfectant.
