X-C Schooling Day Update
Posted by Mary on Thu 18 May, 2006
At the last X-C schooling day something happened that we wanted to bring to your all's attention.

A rider who had not registered at the table borrowed a pinny from a rider who had already registered. This person had planned 'just to walk around', but then had a fall that required medical attention. As innocently as it may have been meant, things like this put everyone is a very bad position. We had no record of who the hurt rider was, no signed release, and this was the only time our medical was needed all day.

We have binding agreements with the USEA and the Kentucky Horse Park to run these X-C Schooling Days according to the rules and guidelines and to meet all the insurance requirements. Situations like this put everyone in jeopardy of losing the privilege of having the KHP open to schooling, period. Some of you might remember that it was the threat of the park closing their doors to any schooling at all that prompted the beginning of the X-C Schooling Days, as we know them now.

What might not seem like a big deal at the time, could compromise everyone. Anyone caught deliberately breaking the rules could be asked not to ever come back. Please help us keep the Schooling Days going by not being the one to bend rules. Thanks!
