Competition, Schooling and Exercise Areas:
- Confirmation of the daily timetable, the order to go and/or specific ride times will be published on the RWHS Website/Facebook page as soon as possible after the close of declarations each day and updated whenever any additional changes become necessary.
- You are requested to restrict the number of people accompanying a horse to the competition arena to those persons who are needed for safety or for achieving effective competition. All must comply with social distancing requirements along with any other local Covid control measures in force at the event.
Recommended Best Practices for Participants while present on the competition grounds:
- Provide hand sanitiser and masks (along with instructions on the correct use and safe disposal of masks) to your stable staff and other personnel and require that they use them while on the venue.
- Regularly sanitise high touch / use items such as car & truck door handles, bucket handles, etc., and equipment including tack, grooming, feeding, stable cleaning materials, etc.
- Avoid sharing of equipment and materials and, if sharing is necessary, thoroughly wipe with an effective sanitising material before and after use.
- Use closed bins for waste disposal.
- Provide thermometers to staff with instructions that they must monitor their temperature daily. If any individual records a temperature higher than 37.5 degrees Celsius (99.5 degrees Fahrenheit) or exhibits Covid-19 symptoms, they should self-isolate and follow the steps communicated by the OC.
- Explain social distancing measures to your staff and limit access to competition grounds to essential personnel only; discourage multiple family members from accompanying Owners and Athletes.

VETERINARY EXAMINATION

Any owner who fails to settle a veterinary account and / or other related costs will be excluded from future entry to the Royal Windsor Horse Show.
Where, in the opinion of the Show’s Veterinary Surgeon, a horse is so severely injured that it ought to be humanely destroyed, the owner / trainer / rider / driver should, wherever possible, first be informed. However, the Show’s Veterinary Surgeon may proceed with humane destruction, without reference to owner / trainer / rider / driver, in order to prevent undue suffering to the horse. Before taking this action the Show’s Veterinary Surgeon should, wherever practicable, seek a second veterinary opinion. In such eventuality, owners are responsible for the cost of disposal.
