Hi everyone, I am able to keep working due to being an essential animal welfare service.
During this difficult time I am implementing a series of measures to keep us all safe whilst maintaining as normal a service as possible.
Below is a series of measures I am taking to ensure your welfare and limit the spread of Covid – 19, along with a list of things you can do to make the implementation of this easier.
⚒️ What I am doing ⚒️
🔘Following government social distancing advice
🔘My STRONG preference would be that you DO NOT attend the appointment ESPECIALLY if in a high-risk category
🔘Badly behaved horses will be low priority (Our Emergency rooms don’t need any extra patients)
🔘I will be carrying antibacterial hand wash and will thoroughly wash hands on arrival and departure
🔘No tea, coffee, cakes, biscuits etc (until it all passes, then feel free to make up for lost time!!)
🔘 I am regularly monitoring my health and the health of my family. And will notify of any changes.
🏇 What you can do 🏇
🔘Please keep me updated on any changes in your health and do not attend if experiencing Covid-19 symptoms
🔘Wash your hands before handling your horse, its halter and lead rope
🔘I request that you give me permission to help myself to your horses at appointments so that you do not have to be in attendance
🔘 If you insist on being in attendance, please adhere to social distancing advice
With these measures in place I will continue to work as normal on the grounds of animal welfare. If the situation changes then I will adapt my working protocol to suit where possible or provide cover in the worst-case scenario. If any clients have concerns, please be open with me, I understand this is an unprecedented time we are going through.
Thank you for your cooperation and stay safe.
