​Coronavirus Disease Resources and Updates

In an effort to slow the spread of the Coronavirus, US Equestrian, the national governing body for equestrian sports, has provided guidelines for equestrian competitions. Under advisement from the California Dressage Society, Tehachapi Mountain Chapter has implemented those guidelines which are applicable to our shows and venues. Use the following links to read USEF's requirements and recommendations for operating USEF-Licensed competitions in the COVID-19 Environment.
"While there is no way to eliminate all risks related to COVID-19, the following requirements and recommendations are aimed to decrease the risk of COVID-19 infection. These requirements and recommendations are intended to ensure [...] organizers and participants are following the most recent guidance from federal, state, and other public health officials." - USEF
  • ​Participants are required to wear a cloth face mask or face covering when in any setting where there is a possibility of being within six feet of other individuals, and when not mounted on a horse. 
  • A participant may choose to wear a face mask or face covering when mounted on a horse and cannot be disqualified or penalized for doing so while competing.
  • Comply with social distancing requirements at all times while on the competition grounds.
  • Wash hands often and adhere to other sanitization practices throughout the day.
​"In these instances, the more restrictive regulations, recommendations, guidelines and requirements will prevail and supersede all others, e.g. face masks/coverings may not be required by a state or local government but is required at a USEF licensed competition nonetheless due to CDC guidance." - USEF

The Competition Organizer has the authority under GR 702.1 and GR914 to remove from the facility any person who does not comply with the regulations and requirements in effect at the competition.  We would ask that all of our volunteers, competitors, and guests please help us in our efforts to keep this show series going this summer. Without your adherence to the rules, the BVS Equestrian Center will not grant us permission to utilize the facility for future shows. We appreciate your patience.
Wear a face mask, maintain social distancing, and wash your hands frequently.
