I understand:
- That students will be supervised by parents for the duration of the competition.
- That students must carry their laminated ID card that contains their details/ school staff contact details, and their safety information.
- That students and parents are responsible for ensuring that they have the correct equipment, appropriate clothing for the predicted weather conditions, sunscreen and helmet.
- That all food and drink requirements are the responsibility of parents and students.
- That it is the student's responsibility to follow all roll marking schedules, particularly at the end of the day, to ensure that they are marked off the correct roll.
- That it is the parent/ carer responsibility to inform the Equestrian competition Teacher in Charge before the required deadline of 9.30am to enable up to date roll lists to be prepared.
- That Equestrian is a hazardous sport and that it is essential that students ride in control at all times.
- To the best of my knowledge I am unaware of any medical condition that will place my child at risk by participating in this sport. I am aware that medical expenses need to be covered by my health insurance in the case of injury, and authorise medical aid if it is considered necessary by the supervising teacher/s, or Snowy Mountains Equestrian Interschools' Competition organisers.
- All parents are responsible for ensuring each child is mounted on a horse that suits their riding ability and must comply with all organiser directions (failure to comply will result in the rider being asked to dismount and/or disqualification from the event). Horse and rider ability should be matched to minimise the risk of incident and injury.
