Indoor Arena Update December 14

As of Tomorrow Tuesday, December 15 the indoor arena at Lakedell will be back open for individual ride time. You can book your one hour timeslot again for tomorrow here:
volunteersignup.org/T8FR7 and I will get the rest of the week up and running tomorrow.

The Following points are what was discussed with public health officials today. We NEED to ensure that we are following these guidelines set forth by the Alberta Equestrian Federation.

1. Arenas are closed for public access (e.g. no walk in’s, no spectators, no parents, no friends, etc.)
2. To ensure the health and welfare of equines, individual riding is allowed
3. Indoor riding is ONLY allowed to ensure the maintenance and health/welfare of the horse(s)
4. 2-meter distancing is mandatory and must be maintained at all times; it is the responsibility of the business owner to ensure this is followed
5. To limit the number of people in an indoor arena at any given time; business owners/managers must set schedules/appointments for individuals
6. The 15% fire code occupancy does not apply to indoor arenas; the number of people in an arena is determined by the ability to maintain 2-meter distancing at all times; the business owner is responsible to ensure this is followed
7. Lessons are not allowed
8. Masks are not required while riding
9. Therapeutic riding is not allowed at this time due to the close contact required
