Infection Control Policies During the COVID-19 Pandemic at Trinity Farm

Only one adult or guest is permitted per rider. Parents or guests are not allowed to enter the barn and must remain in the car. To watch the lesson, they should drive to the ring and watch from the car or outside the ring, maintaining social distancing. Please do not bring siblings or extra guests. *

Riders must wash or sanitize hands when entering the barn. *

Riders must maintain social distancing, minimize contact with other riders, and wear a mask when social distancing cannot be maintained. *

During COVID-19, riders who cannot catch and tack/untack their own horse independently will be charged an extra $15 on top of their lesson fee. If you wish to arrange for lessons in tacking and untacking to become independent, please contact Priscilla Davis. *

Riders are asked to tack and untack in their horse’s stall, or, if using the cross-ties, maintain only one horse on each side of cross-ties in the barn or maintain a cross-tie in between each horse if tacking outside. *

Riders may not ride if they have a fever, cough, or any other COVID-19 symptoms that can be found on the CDC website. Please use an over abundance of caution. *

We recommend riders use their own helmets rather than helmets owned by Trinity Farm, wear riding gloves while tacking and riding, and their own brushes if possible. If you need guidance on where to purchase these items, please contact your instructor. *

While Trinity Farm staff are cleaning tack at the end of every day and may have cleaning/sanitization products available, due to the nature of the environment caring for animals, we cannot guarantee an environment uncontaminated by COVID-19. It is the responsibility of the rider not to touch their face and then touch tools, etc. If the rider is concerned about contamination, it is the responsibility of the rider to bring Lysol, wipes, etc. to sanitize any items or surfaces they may be touching. *

After assessing the risk/benefit specifically for the above mentioned riders, and considering the above and initialed infection control policies, Trinity Farm and the rider or parents/guardian both agree that the benefits outweigh the risks and that riding is appropriate at this time. The rider and/or parents/guardian also agree to follow CDC guidelines and additional Trinity Farm rules.
