COVID- 19 Policy

At MC Equestrian Riding School, we have a Covid-19 policy in place to ensure our facilities comply with current NSW COVID-19 regulations to keep our community safe. Please ensure you follow our guidelines below so you can keep riding and having fun with our horses!

Procedures when visiting our facilities:

• Please do not come to the MC Equestrian facilities if you feel unwell or have any flu-like symptoms including a temperature, sore throat or cough

• Sign in upon arrival

• Wash/sanitize your hands as often as possible

• Always maintain 1.5 meter distance from others

• Use spray sanitizers / disposables wipes to disinfect all gear after use (including borrowed helmets & boots)

Use of common areas

Breezeway: While you are in the breezeway please stay 1.5 meters apart from others. Do not touch other people or their gear or belongings.

Kitchen and bathrooms: Please wash your hands before and after using the kitchen or bathrooms and use the disposable hand towels provided. Thoroughly clean anything you use in the kitchen, both before AND after use.

Handling of tack and gear: Please wash your hands before and after using any gear. Once an item has been used, ensure you sanitize it before returning it to the tack room. Riders are kindly asked to disinfect tack and riding gear after their lessons using the detergents and sanitizers provided.

Lessons and visitors

With venue number restrictions limited, we can only welcome those who have booked a riding lesson, agist or lease a horse. Riders younger than 18 years of age may be accompanied by a maximum of 1 adult. We request that adult riders attend their lessons alone.

We also have a maximum of 3 people together at the same time, while respecting the 1.5 meters distance apart from each other.

All riders need to sanitise their hands when they enter the property and before they have a lesson.

If you are unwell

We ask that you to stay home if you feel unwell. If you have flu-like symptoms including a temperature, cough or sore throat, self-isolate and get tested as soon as you can. Please inform us if you come in contact with the virus and have been at our facilities within the 14 days.

We will keep you informed about any changes that need to be made in this highly fluid environment.
