COVID-19 ACTION PLAN Wasatch Pony Club’s Golden Spike Horse Trials (GSHT) is a USEF-recognized event. We will follow USEF protocol for the Golden Spike Horse Trials: “The US Equestrian Federation is dedicated to ensuring the safety and welfare of horses and all participants. As we begin to navigate the “new normal” at USEF competitions and events, we have centralized the requirements and recommendations from public health experts that will be in effect at USEF competitions. While there is no way to eliminate all risks related to COVID-19, the following requirements and recommendations are aimed to decrease the risk of COVID-19 infection. These requirements and recommendations are intended to ensure USEF organizers and participants are following the most recent guidance from federal, state, and other public health officials. As that guidance continues to change, the content of this action plan will be modified to reflect those changes. We are all in this together and the situation requires that each and every one of us take personal responsibility for the health, safety, and welfare of ourselves, our family members, and our colleagues and peers in the competition environment. Whether participant, competition organizer and staff, or vendor and support personnel, we each need to exercise caution, take precautionary measures, be accountable, and utilize good judgement at all times while interacting with one another at competitions.”

COVID-19 Action Plan:

All participants, including licensed officials and volunteers, must provide emergency contact information and execute an updated Waiver and Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement required by USEF, as a condition of participation. Temperature monitoring is required for volunteers, officials, competition staff and service providers once daily prior to entering the competition grounds. Anyone with a temperature below 99.5° F (37.5° C) may enter the facility. Anyone who exhibits COVID-19 symptoms or has been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 within the last two weeks, cannot enter the competition grounds.
Self-Isolation/Self-Quarantine Directives will be followed if a person has a fever or exhibits other symptoms of COVID-19. Participants are asked to notify GSHT Organizer if they test positive for COVID-19 within 14 days of competition. GSHT organizer will notify USEF, all participants and competition staff if a person who was present on the competition grounds tests positive for COVID-19 within 14 days of the conclusion of competition.
A facemask or face covering is REQUIRED for all staff, officials, volunteers, service providers and participants when not mounted on a horse.

Horse arrivals and departures will be organized to limit contact between people Judges’ and other officials’ areas will be arranged to comply with social distancing requirements. Competition office access is restricted to essential personnel only, with the space configured to comply with social distancing. Stabling will be configured to comply with social distancing requirements in order to manage concentration of horses and people. No more than 20 people are allowed in any area at the same time. Social distancing must be maintained. Signage will be posted that displays all applicable federal, state and local regulations, requirements and orders as well as WHO recommendations and CDC guidelines as they relate to mass gatherings and sporting events in effect at the competition. Signage will be posted at all entrances to the competition grounds which identifies the symptoms of COVID-19 and states the following:“To protect others from possible transmission of the virus, anyone who exhibits COVID-19 symptoms or has been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 within the last two weeks, cannot enter the competition grounds. These individuals are encouraged to contact their health care provider immediately for further medical advice and must obtain documented clearance from their health care provider before entering the competition grounds.Participants must assume responsibility for themselves and their own staff (e.g. grooms, assistants, etc).” Signage will be posted throughout the competition grounds (i.e. competition office, competition and schooling areas, barns, etc.) which includes recommendations about good hygiene along with informing participants and others about ways to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
