Use of the Trotters area...
We are very lucky to share facilities with the Trotting Club and so it would be great if members could remember these rules:
- The wash area is not meant to be used by club members but if it is used please always remove any manure.
- Members can use the gravel area in front of the sheds, as long as you do not block access to the yards. Again please pick up any manure and put it in the small manure shed.
- No vehicle should cross the track unless it is there to set up equipment. This rule is in place because the tyre tracks in the sand in particular when it rains can cause young trotting horses to jump the tracks. This is very dangerous for horse and driver.
- Club members are not to use the inside of the track before 10.30am every day unless they have approval from the trotting track.
