Covered Arena Use Policy

The primary purpose of the covered arena is to enable you to exercise your horse(s) during extended periods of inclement weather and/or in the event the outside arenas are unavailable. Thus, in order to facilitate the use of the new covered arena and assure a safe environment, a Use Policy has been established as follows;

• An Allocated Time schedule will be determined during periods of inclement weather and/or in the event all outside arenas are unavailable.
• Use will be prioritized as follows; resident training operations, resident non-training boarders, full-use members, and day-use members; this is warranted due to the size of the arena and the quantity of horses maintained at the Horse Park.
• Primary use will be flat work only.
• When Covered Arena is in an “Open to All” status, lesson schedules are not permitted.  Due to the fact most lessons are at the same time of the day thus becoming impractical to implement lesson schedules into the process. 
• A no lunging/ponying policy will be in force, due to safety concerns and footing issues.
• A no hand walking of horses policy will be in force due to safety concerns, except in a therapeutic riding situation during that allocated time slot.
• A NO dog policy will be in force during the priority-use schedule, in or around the arena.
• Clinics, shows, club activities, dog activities, etc… will not be permitted, in order to accommodate the quantity of horses maintained at the Horse Park.
• Jumps, dressage courts, obstacles, will not be permitted, except in extenuating circumstances and/or event prep during allocated trainer time slots, and then only with HPW management prior approval.
• On-site non-training boarders may utilize arena at all times, except in the event there are jumps, and/or obstacles permitted during a trainer’s allocated time, but only with management’s approval.
• Deals, arrangements, trades, exchanges, of allocated time slots between trainers and/or boarders specific to the use or schedule of the covered arena will not be permitted; all scheduling and arena policies are the responsibility of HPW management.
• Proper arena etiquette, courtesy, respect, and common sense must be practiced at all times.

The allocated time schedule is prioritized and based on resident training operations, resident boarders, size of training operations, resident trainer’s event prep needs, and non-resident general membership needs;

               In the event the above policies are disregarded, further arena restrictions, membership revocation, and/or eviction may be enforced.
