Stalregelment
Businesses own rules and practices
Welcome to the Australian Baroque Riding Academy!
The stable code is compiled for the safety of customers, staff and horses. Take your time to familiarize yourself with the code, don´t hesitate to contact Marie if any questions should arise.
1. Please take notice of the opening hours of the centre. During opening hours the staff are usually at the stable to help you. Information you get from staff is essential for everybody's safety.
2. Calm and composed behaviour is essential around horses. Horses are flight animals that can spook at sudden movements and loud noises.
3. You are not permitted to enter either arena or the stables without permission. Entering the paddocks and pastures is also prohibited without permission. Dogs should be on a leash at all times, this is important for your dogs own safety.
4. Feeding is planned carefully for each horse individually. Feeding extra could risk horses health or change horses behaviour, that is why nothing should be fed to horses without permission.
5. Every horse has it´s own, fitted bridle, halter and saddle. If you are putting away tack please ensure it is placed in the correct order. Please never leave any equipment lying on the floor (including grooming boxes). Expensive equipment can get broken or cause danger if tangled at the feet of horses or human. Ask the staff for additional information if needed. Remember that a horse may not be left unattented in a stable with their saddle and bridle on. Do not fasten the horse from the mouthpiece. You can place a halter on top of the bridle and after that fasten the horse according to instructions.
6. The staff know the horses very well, so please be respectful and only groom horses that you have been asked to handle. Typically at the stables you also find information about each individual horse in a folder in the gallery, grooming kits and/or from the noticeboard. If any horse should need special treatment, you should always have a permission from the horses owner or from a person, who is authorized by the owner. While walking the horses in hand, please wear appropriate gloves. Do not wrap the rope or reins around your hand. Shoes worn at the stable should be closed in and sturdy.
7. While handling the horses, be aware of the surroundings and try to anticipate and avoid situations that may cause danger to yourself, the horse or others. Ask questions without hesitation or prejudice, attend courses, training and events organized by your stable in order to learn more about horses and handling of horses.
