… The Waredaca Classic Road to the 3-Day Challenge is even BETTER! Just received by Helen Casteel, the Waredaca Sponsorship Chair: I got a cool message from the JCTIP people. They read about the Road to the 3-Day Challenge and since all of the participating HTs offer TIP, they are offering a special TIP award just for that effort. The highest placing TB (and hopefully the prize winner) will receive a special ribbon/prize/and $. This includes ALL levels other than Preliminary since they have prize money.

Waredaca Classic Three Day Teams with Area II Organizers to offer Road to the Three Day Challenge

In the days when long-format eventing reigned, there was a different kind of emphasis on preparation, on endurance, on horsemanship. The nature of the competition demanded it.

 

Here are the 2022 details for our very popular ROAD TO THE CHALLENGE!!

DEFINITELY READ THIS FIRST!! AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY!!

The 2022 Waredaca Classic Three Day Event is a formative experience for young riders, amateurs and professionals alike.  Lead Clinician for 2022, SHARON WHITE, international competitor and popular coach and rider, returns this year!! She will be assisted by WOODS BAUGHMAN, also an international rider!  What a fabulous combination to guide each of you thru the Classic Experience!!

Covid 19 Waredaca Policy Update 3 January

//  by 

WHILE IMPLEMENTING CURRENT CDC and MONTGOMERY COUNTY GUIDELINES AND BEING UNCERTAIN OF WHO HAS BEEN FULLY VACCINATED, THE CURRENT WAREDACA FARM POLICY REGARDING WEARING MASKS IS AS FOLLOWS:

WE at WAREDACA support and staff will enforce the current CDC AND FARM recommendations for our staff, clients and visitors that follow:

IF YOU ARE FULLY VACCINATED:


Due to the most recent surge of COVID-19 cases, especially in young people, we are issuing the following protocols effective January 3, 2022. These protocols will stay in place until further notice and are in line with Montgomery County and CDC mandates.

For those over 19 and older…use common sense while at the farm especially in high traffic areas.  Given the age of our pony club population, IF ANYONE NEEDS to go in the school barn or school tack room for any reason, please WEAR a mask to comply with current Waredaca protocols for that area of the farm.

FOR ALL THOSE UNDER THE AGE OF 19..….IF YOU VACCINATED AND BOOSTED, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WEAR A MASK OUTSIDE. Masks must be worn at all times by those who are vaccinated BUT NOT BOOSTED. Masks may only be removed when mounted. This means from the moment you step outside your car to the moment you sit in the saddle, masks ARE TO BE ON- NO EXCEPTIONS.And when you get off your horse, masks go back on until you are in your car again.

IF ANYONE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID, NO ONE from your household is allowed back at the barn for a MINIMUM period of 5 days. We will take over care for your horse as needed.

For everyone who tests positive for COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status

  • Stay home for no less than 5 days
  • If you have a fever, continue to stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever resolves without the need for fever-reducing medications
  • After a period of 5 days, vaccinated members of your family may return to the farm but must keep a mask on at all times, even when mounted, for an additional 5 days. Returning to the farm is dependent on your symptoms and illness
  • Continue to wear a mask anytime around others for at least 5 additional days following age guidelines noted above

IF YOU OR SOMEONE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD HAS A KNOWN or POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO AN INFECTED PERSON OR IF YOU OR SOMEONE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD HAS A QUESTIONABLE EXPOSURE TO AN INFECTED PERSON

What to do if you are exposed to someone with COVID-19
If you are exposed to someone with COVID-19 and have been boosted or completed your primary two-dose series of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine within the last 6 months or received the J&J vaccine within the last 2 months:

  • STAY AT HOME for 5 days of home quarantine. If you remain asymptomatic, you may return to the farm after 5 days of home quarantine if you have no symptoms nor fever.
  • Wear a mask around others for 10 days regardless of age
  • Test on day 5, if possible
  • If you develop symptoms, get a test and stay home

If you are EXPOSED TO SOMEONE OR HAVE BEEN VACCINATED but you received your Pfizer or Moderna two-dose primary series more than 6 months ago or received the J&J vaccine over two months ago and have not been boosted:

  • Stay home for 5 days. After that continue to wear a mask around others for 5 additional days
  • If you can’t quarantine you must wear a mask for 10 days
  • Test on day 5 if possible
  • If you develop symptoms, get a test and stay home

**IF YOU ARE NOT VACCINATED AND BECOME SYMPTOMATIC…DO NOT COME TO THE FARM UNTIL YOU ARE SYMPTOM FREE AND HAVE A NEGATIVE COVID TEST

Vaccine boosters can help you stay safe————Getting vaccinated 

  • You quarantine when you might have been exposed to the virus and may or may not have been infected.
  • You isolate when you have been infected with the virus, even if you don’t have symptoms.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/quarantine-isolation.html

Please remember that these rules are in place so that we can stay open and continue to offer unlimited access to the farm and the horses. If ANYONE with a confirmed positive COVID exposure comes to the barn, and we experience a surge, we will shut down and none of us want that! Please, DO NOT put ANYONE at the farm at risk.

Thank you everyone for understanding.
