We have set a temperature limit of 37 degrees based on predicted weather forecasts and a 50%
humidity level.
During the hot months, the club days and comps will start earlier in the day 7-7.30am, allowing the
day to finish earlier.
Higher level tests will be prioritised to earliest.
2 days prior to the event, predicted weather forecasts will be reviewed and as a first option before
cancelling, will be to limit riders to one test per horse, meaning other tests entered will be refunded.
If a full cancellation is decided, the arena will be opened and offered to riders should they wish to
still attend, however, the arena sides and letters won’t be erected, judges won’t be available and the
club house won’t be opened. We ask that riders use cooperation and consideration in ensuring all
that attend have a turn in the arena. Riders are asked to notify us via email of their intentions. Those
that don’t attend will be refunded less the grounds levy.
