Hello to all BITS Clients,
We hope you are well, having weathered this pandemic as best as can be expected. The horses are happy to see many of our students return, and we can’t wait to see everyone again.
To protect our returning clients, volunteers, and staff we have instituted changes in the way we do business to follow State and Federal guidelines as well as P.A.T.H. International suggestions for best practices in Equine Facilities. Everyone upon entering the campus will be required to wash their hands and wear masks. We cannot safely disinfect helmets, so we require each rider to supply their own ASTMI approved riding helmet (Click here for suggested one). Your instructor will reach out individually to each rider to help you in purchasing the helmet, to ensure a proper fit. All lessons and volunteer times are scheduled so that no more than ten people are on campus at any given time. Please arrive promptly, but no earlier than fifteen minutes before your scheduled time. We ask that only the minimum number of people necessary to support the participant come for the lesson. If this is not possible, all others MUST remain in the car. No “drop-ins” or spectators allowed. The number of lessons we can provide each day is significantly reduced (fewer than fifty percent of pre-COVID-19 levels) due to time scheduled between lessons for cleaning of the facility and tack. Because of this and the increased cost of COVID -19 restrictions, we must levy a $5.00 per lesson “COVID -19 Safety fee.” Should this present a hardship, please talk to us about your options. I look forward to seeing everyone “back in the saddle!"
Stay Safe!
