In addition, there will be a register which must be completed by all those who enter the show ground so that if someone were to contract the virus Public Health can be informed of any potentials at risk.
1. Entries must be made and paid via My Riding Life. In order to monitor risk heights entered will be checked and at the discretion of the committee.
2. Each competitor should only have one helper, preferably from the same household. Please leave non-competing siblings (and dogs) behind.
