Terms and Conditions

PEEBLES MARCH RIDERS ASSOCIATION – CODE OF CONDUCT

1- RESPONSIBILITIES OF HORSE RIDERS: We are aware that there will be a number of riders taking part in the ride/event who have not taken part in a similar activity before. Those intending to ride their own horse in an event like this for the first time should be aware that your horse may behave differently in a large group.

It should be noted that in a fast paced ride the off road section will be fast moving at times and all participants must be confident in canter and gallop.

It is the responsibility of all riders taking part to maintain good control of their mount throughout the ride/event. If a rider becomes dismounted at any time, it is their responsibility to either remount and rejoin the ride or return their horse to the horse box.

2- MARSHALS WILL BE IN CHARGE: There will be a number of riding marshals present on the ride. They will be identified by their armbands and due respect must be given to their requirements at all times. Foot Marshals will be positioned as required at gates and crossings and likewise their requirements should be respected. Any rider failing to adhere to the instructions of a marshal will be asked to leave the ride.

Any rider found to be intoxicated or unable to control their mount will be asked to leave the ride. Any rider who fails to keep up with the pace of the ride may be requested to leave.

Riders must not mount the pavement for any reason whatsoever.

THE MARSHAL’S DECISION IS FINAL.

3- DRESS CODE: Smart, appropriate riding and footwear will be accepted. It should be noted that protective headgear which meets current safety standards with a chin strap must be worn by all riders whilst mounted.

4- SOLO RIDER, HORSE LOAN/HIRE: Please ensure you have the contact details to hand at all times for the person responsible for the loaned/hired horse on the day or an emergency contact if you are a solo rider riding your own horse. If you are unable to continue on the ride for any reason then the horse will be led until we reach the next safe point on route, in timely manner ,from where it will need to be collected.  All reasonable efforts must be made by the owner/hirer/responsible person to retrieve their horse.

It is essential to maintain a high standard of time keeping. To assist Police Scotland who control and manage the time we spend on public roads.

7- CONTINGENCY PROCEDURE: In the event of any problem arising, be it damage to gates, fences or vehicles, breakage of essential tack or injury to any horse or rider, immediate contact should be made with a marshal in order that appropriate action can be taken. It is the owner / hirer‘s responsibility for all costs incurred.
