Polite request: the horses and team at Tower are loving being able to still welcome people on site but we wish to keep everyone as safe as possible. Please can the number of individuals coming to Tower Farm be limited to client riding plus one other parent/guardian. (If possible wait in your car whilst session taking place.) Please can you ensure you have used bathroom facilities before coming on site. The toilets are open but only to be used as last resort. Please bring your own small hand sanitizer as this limits the amount of touch points. Only 1 person per client riding to enter gallery, only sit with members of the same household and always wear a face covering. (We appreciate sometimes siblings need to come along but please just wait in car if possible.) We are encouraging all clients to purchase their own equipment, if you do need to borrow, please return to office not hooks so they can be sanitised. |

Notice: The next few months are going to be a very hard juggling act for all everyone. We are unfortunately receiving a large volume of clients needing to change dates as they have to isolate due to track and trace etc. Can we remind you that it's the session that's booked. If you have another friend or family member who would like to ride (who are similar standard for groups) it's not a problem to do a name swap (as long as they have filled out the registration form). Please just let us know especially if they are going to need a larger/smaller pony/horse. If you don't cancel, it will mean the business will be viable going forward. The winter months have huge overheads with horses requiring stabling and adlib field hay. We at times will also have issues with staffing for exactly the same reasons - please bare with us. Thank you. |
