Lyneham Heath update re COVID 19
(10/07/2020)
we are opening up gradually
Be sure to book before you come in the usual way. We donating a percentage for the rest of the season to Glorious Cotswold Grasslands
Come and enjoy the facilities, but keep to govt guidelines. Be sensible about fresh horses, park well apart and no large groups until we're allowed. Dogs are welcome but kept on leads at all times. The Hut & Washdown (communal touching of taps + hoses not advised) are off limits. Keep the loo for emergencies only and use the hand sanitiser on the shelf by the entrance.
Owen Moore has resumed teaching private lessons on the arena and XC. If you'd like to book please email Laura Browne on l.browne@hotmail.co.uk
We are using the horses and a new flock of sheep for conservation grazing around the perimeter of the farm. Moving them from area to area in a timely manner we are hoping to create species-rich grasslands and wildflower meadows for our friends the pollinators. Please beware of the new living willow fencing and be cautious of the long grass where holes or rough ground may lurk.
Please note these restrictions:
- Please adhere to your start times
- Park well apart and use the overflow car park to keep your distance.
- People to keep 2m apart wherever possible
- Do not use the Hut or the wash down bay (sharing taps not advised) - please bring water for horses to drink & wash off, sponges, buckets, poop a scoop. Take muck home.
- The Loo is open for anyone DESPERATE, but we advise you try to avoid using.There is disinfectant spray to use before and after, on anything you touch! As the entrance is narrow, stand well back to ensure you don’t pass too closely and use hand sanitiser on the outside shelf.
- The government is advising we limit contact with other people. Please follow government guidelines.
- Bring your own poop-a-scoop to clear up after your horse in the lorry park.
- Please be sensible about the height and type of fence you are attempting and try to avoid bringing overly fresh horses or ponies to minimise the risk of an accident. It’s recommended all riders beneath BE Novice standard come with a qualified instructor or VERY competent equestrian supervisor.
- All adult riders to be accompanied by a responsible person
- Children are very welcome to ride but must be accompanied by a qualified instructor or VERY competent equestrian supervisor.
- Back protectors to be worn
