| Safe Sport: – Clarification from Linda Hazelwood – There is no liability conferred with sponsoring a junior rider. The sponsor must have a NCCP number. If a rider has no NCCP number they must pay a $5 fee. A junior rider must ride with an adult rider who is called a sponsor/mentor. This does not confer liability for the sponsor/mentor. – Donna reported that the Hunter Jumper riders pay an additional $5 a day if they don’t have a coach with a NCCP number. | ||

MEC, September 20, 2020 – No ride manager Other possible rides – Carrie will contact Shannon to see if she would consider being a ride manager in BHP in July or Aug. 8.

Another meeting is required to plan rides and protocols For 2020 according to Covid guidelines. Need direction from the Province. | Iris Carrie Iris | |
