MKRC Clear Round and Show Jumping – 20th December 2020

We’re very excited to be able to welcome you to our Christmas clear round and show jumping competition!

To make sure we’re able to run this event safely, we’ve had to put in a number of additional measures – we’ve detailed these below along with details of how the day will run. We’re sorry that some of these measures may mean that we can’t be quite as social as normal, and that unfortunately that some of you may not be able to compete at this time. Hopefully as time goes on we will be able to relax some of these measures, but for now we have to do everything we can to keep you all safe

It is your responsibility as a competitor to adhere to our guidance below and to all current government guidance in relation to Covid 19. Where anyone is deliberately ignoring or breaking these rules, or acting unsafely, we will have no option to ask you to leave site, and disqualify you from the competition

Please DO NOT attend if you or any member of your household is showing symptoms of Covid-19. You will be fully refunded if you cannot attend due to Covid-19.

Please spend the minimum amount of time possible on site. This means arriving with enough time to tack up and warm up, then once you have ridden please head home as soon as reasonably possible. If you are jumping more than one height we will try to arrange times closer together to accommodate this.

Please wash your hands and/or use hand sanitiser regularly

Entries

·         Online entries in advance only via the MKRC website / My Riding Life. Spaces may be limited and will be first come first served. Entries will close at midnight on Thursday 17th December, or before if full

·         Running order / estimated times will be available online at least 48 hours before the event

·         We need to have full details of everyone attending, in case there is a need for contact tracing to take place after the event – you will all be asked to provide name, address and contact number of all people attending when booking – this includes those that are helping you. Without this we will not be able to let you compete. This will be checked when you arrive on site to make sure we have full details of everyone attending. If the details of those attending with you changes, please let us know as soon as possible, and before the day of the event

·         Please limit the number of people coming with you – as per current guidance this should be the rider plus a maximum of 1 helper per horse. In line with government guidance, at the time of writing this should be someone from your own household (or defined ‘bubble’), as it will be impossible to maintain social distancing when helping

Arrival/On-site

·         Please keep at least 2m distance between you and anyone not from your household, wherever possible

·         Please park sensibly, leave plenty of room between you and the next vehicle, but also please try to leave room so that others can park safely too

·         Please do not share equipment, eg. Tack, buckets etc

·         You do not need to check in with the secretary when you arrive – we won’t have a specific secretary’s area set up. Please wear your own bridle or saddle number (if you don’t have one don’t worry, just let the judge know your name and number when you enter the arena, before starting your round). Our steward will keep track of who is warming up and let you know when it is your turn

·         Toilets will be open

·         We will hopefully have a food van in attendance. Please respect social distancing guidelines when purchasing and eating food

·         MKRC officials will be wearing hi-vis / tabards to help you identify us – please ask one of us if you have any questions

Competing

·         Warm-up will be in the smaller school, and you will jump your round in the large outdoor arena.

·         We will be limiting numbers in the warm-up area to a maximum of 5 horses. This should allow you at least 15 minutes to warm up your horse prior to your round – if you need longer why not have a quick walk hack first

·         RIDERS ONLY in the warm-up please. We will have a steward to manage the practice fences.

·         Dress code is Christmas jumpers, tinsel, etc or smart for show jumping (Show jackets etc) – but if you don’t have something don’t worry, just wear what you have!   No dress code for clear round.

·         Please don’t touch the gates or doors into the arena – we will have a dedicated person to do this for you

·         You will be able to walk the course between classes. Again, please make sure that you are maintaining social distancing at all times, and please don’t touch the fences or gates. If you notice any problems, please let one of the MKRC stewards know.

·         Single phase. The second half of the course will be timed. Jumps may be up to 5cm higher in the second half of the course.

Results

·         Results will be updated throughout the day via My Riding Life.  Clear round rosettes can be collected as you leave the arena after your round. Rosettes for the show jumping classes (1^st – 6^th) will be available to collect following each class, however we will not be doing a formal presentation to avoid gatherings of people. We would still encourage you not to stay on site any longer than needed, and we will post any unclaimed rosettes to you as soon as possible – please make sure we have your address with your entry.

Thank you for helping us to make this event a success!
