There has been a couple incidents over the last couple of months that have been brought to our attention, so we would just like to remind everyone of some of the rules. These rules have been established to ensure the safety of riders and that the grounds are maintained to a high standard.
Firstly, it is really important that dogs are not permitted on the Karinya grounds. This is a City of Gosnells rule, and as such the owners of dogs that are brought to the ground can be fined by the council. More than this, dogs are not permitted on the grounds as not all horses are comfortable with dogs (regardless of how friendly or well behaved they are). Any accidents that occur as a result of dog may result in the owner being liable. Bring a dog to the grounds is also disrespectful of other members who have beautiful and well behaved dogs, but choose to keep them at home as per the Karinya rules.
It is the responsibility of all members to look after the grounds, including keeping them neat and tidy. This includes not lunging in any of the arenas. This decision was made to protect the longevity of the arenas. Please ensure that all manure is scattered and the yards and riding areas are cleaned after use.
Please do not ride on the grounds when other people have the grounds booked. If you are unsure whether the grounds are in use or booked, please check with Karinya Committee.
If you do use the grounds when they are free, please ensure you follow your clubs gear checking guidelines
(use of helmets, boots, etc).
Additionally, outside coaching is not permitted at Karinya.
Could you please ensure that you comply with the rules for the benefit of all users.
Kind regards,
Karinya Management Committee
