The Park’s modulated reopening to outside horses
begins on Wednesday April 6th. The Park is thrilled
to begin welcoming back our equestrian members,
we can’t wait to see you!
In keeping with current state recommendations regarding the curbing
of the EHV-1 outbreak, there will be a few procedural changes all
members need to follow to come on site.
1. A declaration form (see link below) must be signed by members
for each horse coming onto Park property regarding horses’
relevant health status as it pertains to EHV-1.
2. Part of the declaration confirms there is an additional 14-day
waiting period for horses coming from a facility that was
quarantined by the CFDA and/or had any EHV-1/EHM cases
within past 90 days. Please note: The waiting period BEGINS
after every horse who previously had a positive test on that
property receives a negative test result AND no new cases have
emerged.
3. A reservation system for cross-country will be utilized during
this period to avoid crowding at the facility. Please send an email
to info@horsepark.org to reserve your schooling time. Please make sure to include the number and type of vehicles that will be part of your group when making a reservation.
4. Parking for cross-country schooling is moved to the area by the
north entrance to the field (near start box). We’ve installed a
NEW wash rack for your use and ask you to observe biosecurity
considerations while in relative proximity to other horses.
As part of our biosecurity measures, we do ask everyone to refrain
from grazing. With a respiratory virus, it is a very effective
transmission from one horse to another.
Thank you so much for helping us keep our equine friends happy and
healthy.
